(i wrote this for my myspace, but i thought it would be fun to share something a little different here for once. i used to write heart lists. i need to start again.)

i miss my hair being this long:

sometimes i just want to live in pretty music videos

i love people. i love you people. wish everyone knew it. maybe i should say it more. and louder.

i love lots of things really. a short list:

♥ long phone calls
♥ my Bible
♥ hope.
♥ being ready to wake up after a good night’s sleep.
♥ a new year
♥ where i want to go
♥ turtledoves
♥ just for a moment
♥ blackberry picking
♥ porches covered in flowers
♥ “love is an illusion.” “it’s the only illusion that counts, my friend.”
♥ watching storms roll in
♥ everything e.e. cummings ever wrote
♥ inspiration
♥ we laughed until we had to cry
♥ java chip frappucino w/ a shot of mint
♥ “there will come a time…and i will know.”
♥ a glass of cold, cold water
♥ hashbrowns covered in pepper & ketchup
♥ freshly vacuumed floors
♥ waking up early w/out a trace of drowsiness
♥ santa fe, nm
♥ morning rain
♥ “I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One.”
♥ if i hold you again i will never let go
♥ empty parking lots
♥ two drifters, off to see the world
♥ there’s a full moon over tulsa/i hope it’s shining on you
♥ inky fingers
♥ “i’ll take care of you. i will.”
♥ you stormed my winter palace/you rid my heart of every bit of malice/you’re how i won the war
♥ making sense
♥ the smell of oleander
♥ take a good look, make it last/and when you’ve found the moments’ past/just remember that/nobody loved you like me/nobody loved you like me/nobody loved you like me/nobody loved you…like me
♥ these things take forever/i especially am slow/but i realize that i need you/and i wondered if i could come home
♥ tiny green tomatoes
♥ toes
♥ aeroplanes overhead
♥ remember the time you drove all night/just to meet me in the morning/and i thought it was strange/you said everything changed/you felt as if you’d just woke up/and you said “this is the first day of my life/i’m glad i didn’t die before i met you/but now i don’t care/i could go anywhere with you/and i’d probably be happy”
♥ having plans
♥ the lake.
♥ ceiling fans
♥ sunshine in the backyard
♥ baby strawberries
♥ Virginia
♥ so if you want to be with me/with these things there’s no telling/we’ll just have to wait and see
♥ “why wouldn’t she marry me sally?” “she was afraid.”
♥ mrs. dalloway
♥ “he always hated…anyone that wanted to marry you.”
♥ and you just may be the one
♥ “are you happy?”
♥ a girl called daisy
♥ did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?
♥ “i wish she’d see things more clearly.” “clearly enough to marry you, you mean.”
♥ nothing lasts too long
♥ hat designers
♥ my own true love/my own true love/at last i found you/my own true love/no lips but yours/no arms but yours/we’ll live eternally through heaven’s door/i roam the earth in search of this/i knew i’d know you, know you/by your kiss, by your kiss/you’ve showed true love/i’m yours forever/my own true love
♥ “she’s going to marry that man.”
♥ you can’t love like that twice
♥ “i know that i loved her once and that it stayed with me all my life and colored…everything.”
♥ let the rain fall, i don’t care/i’m yours and suddenly you’re mine
♥ poking people on the nose
♥ “i’d hug you, if i could.”
♥ i can hardly catch my breath
♥ stoplights. golights.
♥ i look up/you’re standing next to me/what a feeling

enough now.

i like songs that go la la la and songs that sound like they belong in a music box. and songs people write (for me). and songs with my name in them.
