Cake

i wanted one life
you wanted another
we couldn't have our cake
so we ate eachother.

-roger mcgough


two cures for love

1. Don't see him. Don't phone or write a letter.
2. The easy way: get to know him better.

-Wendy Cope


The minute I heard my first love story

The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you not knowing
how blind that was.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.

Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks with John Moyne
