"When I watch the fireworks of the parting season alone the loneliness I'm supposed to have tamed starts to lash out without me being able to anything." - Nana, Ai Yazawa

"You were the balloon that drifted from the flock into my window.
But you slipped right through my fingers that grew too tiresome to hold you.
I watched you float away, watched as it turned into desperate longing.
This time not for some drastic change, but for the string that was made to be held by me."
- Honeybee, Seahaven
"Where did your heart stay in all those years away?
Did I make your body shake?
Could you feel me riding through the airwaves?
In all those yesterdays were you always hiding below?
No, I didn't know
I think we've loved a thousand lives
I try to find you every time
Searching for those same wide eyes
That locked me in, in my first life
Do you remember my old names?
Recognize my other face?
We're both hanging in picture frames
Somewhere in this place
But my stare at you stayed the same"
- Same Soul, PVRIS
“I am troubled and harsh and hopeless. Though I have love inside me. But I don’t know how to use love. Sometimes it scratches like barbs.”
- Clarice Lispector
