• “If
  
  "If freckles were lovely, and day was night,
  And measles were nice and a lie warn't a lie,
  Life would be delight,--
  But things couldn't go right
  For in such a sad plight
  I wouldn't be I.
  
  If earth was heaven and now was hence,
  And past was present, and false was true,
  There might be some sense
  But I'd be in suspense
  For on such a pretense
  You wouldn't be you.
  
  If fear was plucky, and globes were square,
  And dirt was cleanly and tears were glee
  Things would seem fair,--
  Yet they'd all despair,
  For if here was there
  We wouldn't be we.”

  E.E. Cummings

  like the moon cannot stop oceanic tide;

• “Sometimes when I'm alone
  I Cry,
  Cause I am on my own.
  The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
  They flow with life but take no form
  I Cry because my heart is torn.
  I find it difficult to carry on.
  If I had an ear to confide in,
  I would cry among my treasured friend,
  but who do you know that stops that long,
  to help another carry on.
  The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
  Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
  so painful and sad.
  And sometimes...
  I Cry
  and no one cares about why.”

  “May your love for me be
  like
  the scent of the evening sea
  
  drifting in
  through a quiet window
  
  so i do not have to run
  or chase or fall
  ... to feel you
  
  all i have to do
  is
  breathe.”
