Another poem I've read today:

"getting over you"

i have never
begged for anyone to stay
but i said please that day
whatever it is
we can work this out

i have never
prayed for anything so badly
but i remember
begging the universe
that if it could hear me somehow
all i want is a chance to make it work

it was when
i was on the verge
of losing you
that i realized
i've never wanted anything more

i can't
was all you said
and that was the end of it all

2 words
5 letters
i've never been hurt
by anything more

-- Leslie B

Just come across a poem titled:

“Recension Day”

Unburn the boat, rebuild the bridge,
Reconsecrate the sacrilege,
Unspill the milk, decry the tears,
Turn back the clock, relive the years,
Replace the smoke inside the fire,
Unite fulfilment with desire,
Undo the done, gainsay the said,
Revitalize the buried dead,
Revoke the penalty and clause,
Reconstitute unwritten laws,
Repair the heart, untie the tongue,
Change faithless old to hopeful young,
Inure the body to disease
And help me to forget you please

— Duncan Forbes

Love, Nick 💙

Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do…

Famous quotes of Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen:

*She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me.

*You must know, surely you must know, it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I would have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love... I love... I love you. And I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

*Miss Elizabeth, I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past few months have been a torment. I came Rosings with the single object of seeing you. I had to see you
You are mistaken; I write rather slowly.

*In vain I have struggled this will not do, allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

Love you Mr. Darcy.

“Does the presence of the other, who yesterday morning felt almost like an intruder, become ever more necessary because it shields us from our own hell — so that the very person who causes our torment by daybreak is the same who'll relieve it a night?”

Kiss Me, Mi Amor (Love & Tacos 2) by Alana Albertson
It turns out that a fake relationship is the perfect recipe for a love that sizzles hotter than Santa Barbara's spiciest salsa--when it's between enemies....
Enrique Montez, smooth-talking heir to the Taco King empire, is man enough to admit that he made a critical error when he underestimated Carolina Flores. The agricultural hotshot should have been an easy conquest--who would turn down the chance to partner with California's largest fast-food chain? But instead of signing her name on the dotted line, Carolina has Enrique eating out of the palm of her hand, and when fate steps in with an unexpected opportunity, Enrique is willing to do whatever it takes to capture her heart.
Growing up as the daughter of farmworkers, Carolina spent her youth picking strawberries in the fields of Santa Maria and vowing to improve the lives of people like her parents. Now, as one of only a few Latina farm owners, she has no time for romance and she's certainly not about to let the notorious Montez brother anywhere near her business--even if just being near Enrique makes her skin tingle.
But she is willing to let him help get her overinvolved family off her back. When Carolina's father and her lovelorn sisters mistake Enrique for her (nonexistent) boyfriend, she reluctantly agrees to a series of pretend dates to their town's traditional Mexican-American holiday celebrations. Soon the fake feelings turn real and both Carolina and Enrique must convince each other to take a chance on love before their vacation romance is over.

Excavations by Kate Myers
In this breezy and hilarious novel, set in the astonishingly beautiful sun-dappled Greek islands, four incompatible women digging into the past may just find the answers to their futures.
Buckle up, it'll be a summer for the ages.
On the Megalopolis archeological site in rural Greece, the mythic home of the first Olympics, an unusual artifact is discovered. It's a relic that shouldn't exist; one that upends long-held beliefs about male achievement--everything their megalomaniacal leader has built his career, and ego, upon. Clearly, something has gone horribly wrong.
Z, Elise, Kara and Patty are all digging on this very site this summer. All four women are at wildly different crossroads in their lives, yet all have somehow ended up on this same mountain. Kara is a polished art historian on the verge of calling off her wedding. Patty is a hapless undergrad with an unfortunate bowl cut. Z, a millennial, just got dumped and fired for what feels like the thousandth time. Elise, their star excavator, is consumed by work and has no time for a personal life.
To figure out what they're really digging for, and what this site really means, these dirt-crusted colleagues will have to become what they've each avoided for years--friends. If they can manage to band together for this one summer, they might just make the discovery of a lifetime.

Wanderlust by Elle Everhart
Feeling stuck at work and tired of London’s dreary weather, magazine writer Dylan Coughlan impulsively rings a radio station one day only to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip around the world. The catch? Her travel partner must be a contact randomly selected on her phone. And of course this stressful game of contact roulette lands on a number listed only as Jack the Posho, an uptight, unbearably posh guy she met on a night out and accidentally ghosted.
