Why I Hate Reading Maps
I have unrolled a map
onto my kitchen table and put one finger where you are and another where I am.
The space between is only inches. That close, I could feel you breathing. I could reach out and run my fingers through every strand of your hair, touch your lips and barely need to move.
In the corner of the map there is a guide for judging scale: every inch a hundred miles full of...

Lorelai: Hey, do you remember the first time we met?
Luke: What?
Lorelai: I'm just trying to remember the first time we met. It must have been at Luke's, right?
Luke: It was at Luke's, it was lunch, it was a very busy day, the place was packed, and this person...
Lorelai: Ooh, is it me? Is it me?
Luke: This person comes tearing into the place in a caffeine frenzy.
Lorelai: Ooh, it's me.
Luke: I was with a customer. She interrupts me, wild-eyed, begging for coffee, so I tell her to wait her turn. Then she starts following me around, talking a mile a minute, saying God knows what. So finally I turn to her, and tell her she's being annoying - sit down, shut up, I'll get to her when I get to her.
Lorelai: You know, I bet she took that very well, 'cause she sounds just delightful.
Luke: She asked me what my birthday was. I wouldn't tell her. She wouldn't stop talking. I gave in. I told her my birthday. Then she opened up the newspaper to the horoscope page, wrote something down, tore it out, handed it to me.
Lorelai: Gosh, seriously. You wrote the menu, didn't you?
Luke: So I'm looking at this piece of paper in my hand, and under Scorpio, she has written 'You will meet an annoying woman today. Give her coffee and she'll go away.' I gave her coffee.
Lorelai: But she didn't go away.
Luke: She told me to hold on to that horoscope, put it in my wallet, and carry it around with me. One day it would bring me luck.
Lorelai: Well, man, I'll say anything for a cup of coffee. Um... I can't believe you kept this. You kept this in your wallet? You kept this in your wallet.
Luke: Eight years.
Lorelai: Eight years.

“A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and...
Just a Mystery to Me
Can you take me back in time,
When you were just a friend of mine?
Before you had the power to break my heart in two?
When your touch was just a dream i had,
Before we took a chance,
Before i fell in love with you?
To a time before you walked away,
When nothing was at stake,
To when we were just simple and free.
Before you left me high and dry,
Long before you changed your mind,
To a...
