    Lullabies (Volume 2) Quotes

    “Acceptance

    There are things I miss
    that I shouldn't,
    and those I don't
    that I should.

    Sometimes we want
    what we couldn't—
    sometimes we love
    who we could.”

    “Here are the things I want for you -

    I want you to be happy. I want someone else to know the warmth of your smile, to feel the way I did when I was in your presence.

    I want you to know how happy you once made me and though you really did hurt me, in the end, I was better for it. I don't know if what we had was love, but if it wasn't, I hope to never fall in love. Because of you, I know I am too fragile to bear it.

    I want you to remember my lips beneath your fingers and how you told me things you never told another soul. I want you to know that I have kept sacred, everything you had entrusted in me and I always will.

    Finally, I want you to know how sorry I am for pushing you away when I had only meant to bring you closer. And if I ever felt like home to you, it was because you were safe with me. - I want you to know that most of all.”

    But the poems in this one, especially the few that tried to come of as witty or rhythmic, were puzzling and perplexing and just why&#;. Leav tries to tackle down poems “of hope and ecstasy, of tenderness and betrayal,” but in the end I was just left with little to no emotions. However, I did love the splendid illustrations featured in here:

    And so instead of focusing on those aforementioned nonsensical pieces, I decided to share those rare quotes and poems that captured my heart for a hot minute:

    Patience

    “Patience and Love agreed to meet at a set time and place; beneath the twenty-third tree in the olive orchard. Patience arrived promptly and waited. She checked her watch every so often but still, there was no sign of Love.

    Was it the twenty-third tree or the fifty-sixth? She wondered and decided to check, just in case. As she made her way over to the fifty-sixth tree, Love arrived at twenty-three, where Patience was noti
