♥️.
The silence is unbearable.
No words are spoken but everything else is so loud.
"The heart that truly loves never forgets."
Astrum
"The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart."
I am not sure how long I will love you,
But I know that it will last,
Until the moment the stars burn out,
For my feelings are pure as they are true,
Buried deep within my heart,
As impossible as it may seem,
You're the one who has fixed all of my broken pieces...

“come closer, but don’t flinch”
> come closer, but don’t flinch when you see the places I’ve bled quietly. I am not soft in the way you expect — I am soft like wildfire, like midnight rain that forgets to be gentle. I love like this: with cracked palms, shaking breath, and a heart too heavy to float but too stubborn to drown. if you want me, know this: I won’t promise easy, but I will promise real. raw fingertips. unhidden scars. midnight confessions no one else has ever touched. come closer. and if you stay— I’ll hand you everything I’ve ever buried under my ribs.
“I write slowly… with depth…”
Whispers Between Pages By Astrum
I have always trusted the quiet of untold stories, the soft ache that lingers between what is written and what is merely felt.
I do not chase endings — I unfold them, slowly, like paper worn thin by longing and hands that know the weight of memory.
Somewhere between ink and skin, I found my truest voice — not to speak louder, but to listen deeper to the words that choose to find me first.
Joy Sullivan, from “These Days People Are Really Selling Me On California”, Instructions for Traveling West
