the words i want you to keep Quotes

“there are stars you
haven't seen
and loves you haven't loved
there's light you haven't felt
and sunrises yet to dawn
there are dreams
you haven't dreamt
and days you haven't lived
and nights you won't forget
and flowers yet to grow
and there is more to you
that you have yet to
know.”
― Gaby Comprés, the words i want you to keep

“stories we all are stories, we are books longing for someone to look beyond our covers, and turn our pages and read the ink tattooed on them. we long to be seen, we want to be read and understood and loved, we are hoping to become poetry to those hearts that see us, something beautiful and unforgettable.”

“call me complicated call me complicated,
but how can i settle for less
than what i want?
call me complicated,
but i think you’re just scared of me,
of the music my bones sing,
of the wildness of my spirit
and how my hair has a life of its own
i think you know i am too much of a woman for you
and it scares you”

“i hope for you i think of you as i write these words, the words i want you to keep. and i hope for you.  i hope that you are happy, that you find what you are looking for, i hope that you grow, that you get to know your soul.  i hope Love finds you, and that you learn to savor the bittersweet of life, the rain and sunshine, the winter and spring. i hope there's a lighthouse shining in your sea, stars in your sky, wildflowers in your meadows.”

“my heart beats in poetry this heart, my heart, beats in poetry, in words for you, words for me. this heart beats words of hope and light to fight the darkness. this heart beats in words that are born at midnight, words mothered by late-night coffee words i didn’t know i kept inside until i wrote them out. this heart, my heart, beats in poetry because it doesn’t know how else to beat, because it doesn’t know how else to feel, because it doesn’t know how to let out everything i keep inside. this heart beats in poetry for you, for me.”

“a list of the things my soul forgot
i am still brave
i am free
i am beautiful
i have hope
i am redeemed
i am alive
and my story is still being written
i am worth more than the words i write
and i have worth even when i cannot write
and i am also worth more than the sun
and the moon
and the stars
i can dream
i am not perfect and it is okay to struggle
because even though i don’t deserve grace
it is mine
i am lovely
and i am loved
and even if i forget the truth
that doesn’t change that
it is still true.”

“vas a ver, que todo pasa. que la tormenta cesará, y el mar se calmará y el sol saldrá de nuevo para ti. ya verás, que todo pasa, que tus pies no están estancados y volverás a andar y volverás a cantar tu canción. todo pasa, y aunque sea de noche, brillarán las estrellas hasta que salga el sol. vas a ver, que todo pasa; que tu historia aquí no acaba.”
