So what if heartache you wrote last year isnt what youre feeling today. It may be exactly what the person in the front row is feeling. What youre feeling now, and the person you may reach with your words five years from now--thats why you write poetry.”

“When you find love, you take it. You grab it with both hands and you do everything in your power not to let it go. You can’t just walk away from it and expect it to linger until you’re ready for it.”
