Μαρίνα- Μαρία Βασιλείου

I believe in boys with sad eyes and soft smiles.

I believe in girls who roar back at the thunder

and still kiss like the first time they fell in love.

I believe in the people who’s skin never felt like home to them,

so they carved home out of the dust beneath their shoes

and kept on going(…)

I believe in the kindness of strangers(…)

I believe people learn to be brave.

I believe in the hands picking flowers as much

as I believe in the hands that plant them.

Because sometimes our hearts are too big for our bodies

and they like to go bumping against each other–

sometimes,

love doesn’t mean what you think it does.

You and I don’t love the same, but we are,

all of us, out here loving.

I believe in the collection of fingerprints you pick up

from everything in the world you have ever touched.

If I believe in anything,

I believe that that

is enough.
