303 Entries for “near”

  1. the sugar crusted dry around her mouth, rusted it shut. her perfunctory smiles stretched themselves thinly underneath lunar irises, wistful and haunted and beautiful.
    they stretched even when her cheek bones chipped beneath her fingers from
    dawn to dusk to dawn to dusk to dawn to
    tasting faintly of chamomile, of lace and hard candy, her tongue dripped with bitter syrup so sweet she could no longer taste it.

  2. There will be no one placed near my heart — I take no chances. There is no love that will satisfy. It’s a hoax. I think I believe more in the Easter Bunny — fuck.

  3. The end end is near, very very very very very very near. it’s almost here. ironic because the more i type the farther it is. kbi. it’s near. now.
    there it was.
    bye.

    Alex
  4. She was near, he knew it. No matter what he did, she could not be denied. From the sweet smell of the breeze, to the laughter that floated with it, she was there. Sadly, she had already been gone three years.

  5. near the ocean i can be
    near to night i am free

  6. I dream of dancing near you. ..That is all.

  7. My cat is always near me. Right now she’s coiled up in a ball, her back to the TV. Last hour she watched one of my favorite shows with me. I don’t know whether it’s because she likes the show, if she understands it, or if it’s just because she wants to be with me.

  8. I was near enough to smell your sweat, but still I couldn’t look in your eyes

    Ginny
  9. You are near, very near, you live in my heart. And yet you are so far.

    Shail
  10. The thunderstorm drew near to her place while she typed on her computer. Should she shut everything down and gather her children from in front of the television and shut off all the lights and joyfully listen as God thunders in His heavens.

  11. What is near? Anything and everything is near, but what do we define as near? Can things we know as near be far? Are things we feel and things we see considered near or is it something more indepth?

  12. The heart’s felt distance – so near yet so far. It seems like just yesterday when I first saw you. Yet the time seems to wash out the distance between us. Like a kind of drug that makes you forget everything you been through. You will never come back again. Never. Seeing you , it feels like we just been together yesterday. I feel so near to you yet I know ,you are nowhere near me. Because time has already washed away your memories of me. Forgotten and gone. You will never be so close to my heart again, ever.

  13. 20.000km in between. That’s not near. In my mind not even a mill in between. That’s near.

  14. Near and far are relative terms. Someone can be near to you all the time and never really be “near” to you. They may never understand you. Their nearness is only relative and can never really be more than close.

    Sam
  15. She wanted to go sit near her friend. to reach out to her. to put her hand on her shoulder and comfort her but, for some reason, she couldn’t move.

  16. Near is quite the opposite of where my friends and family are right now. Nearly 20000km are between us, but they are still my friends, still my family and yes, they are still near to me.

  17. He lay beside me,
    holding my hand.
    We watched the clouds move around,
    like dancers in the sky.

    It pains me to say
    “Summer is over tomorrow.”
    But the truth hurts sometimes.
    He holds me closer,
    making the pain go away.

  18. near. far. it doesn’t matter on twitter. you can connect with people all over the world. the community is so much better and everyone is much more accessible than in the past.

  19. He wasn’t as close as he would have liked, no mat ter how close he got. He watched her as she smiled and grabbed another drink from the counter, eyes flut ter ing at some guy at the bar. It was intox i cat ing, watch ing her like this. This, this was what got him high; drugs weren’t enough any more. Every time she came near, his heart began a eight-oh-eight beat, faster and faster, aban don ing all the time and rhythm he had ever taught him self. He used to be a trained musi cian; now, with her around, he was a wreck.

  20. So close. I know I can get there if I just continue to work. Near is terribly difficult to write about.

  21. I was near him. He was near me. We were near each other, and it felt so right. I love him. He loves me. We love being near one another. We’re getting married in June. Near each other forever.

  22. i just did this word…… i guessi can write more about it. i suppose this can be traced back to the whole, life is short quote because it is. even though sixty some years seems so long, when you actually get there, you feel like you wish you could have done more, i imagine.

  23. Near the forest lived a old woman, with a small fragile face. She wished she lived near her friends and family members but was confined to a life of solitude due to a severe anxiety disorder which rendered her unable to deal with most social situations.

  24. near me is this computer i’m typing on. but where does “near” end? how do we know when something stops being “near” and starts being “far”? hmm. it makes you think. near is like saying “close”.

    andie
  25. the end often seems near, but then again the end is a constant thing. the end of a minute, a day, a year even the end of a frined. often we try to exscape from the end, but it is never far away

  26. Im near to the hour of waking,
    unfortunately im stuck awake,
    if i could only get a little sleep,
    tomorrow would be a piece of cake.

  27. hoera vlakbij, hoewel, ligt eraan wie ‘t zegt. Kan ook daar zijn en dat is GOED

  28. near is with, is together, is close. near is family and safety and honesty and goodness. near doesn’t involve travel, or danger, or worry. near you can always get to – and they can always get to you when you need them. yYou’re never hungry or cold or lonely in near.
    near is not far
    near is where you belong.
    here.
    near me, near us, near home.
    Near is where I belong.

    Only I’m far.

  29. god, i wish the past was near. i miss the memories. every single one of them. i wish i could go back and replay it all, i wish they were at my fingertips, near to me.

    Carmennnnnn
  30. and oh god,
    near is not what you are.
    in fact you are miles and
    miles away.
    memories of you
    shoved into the corner
    of my heart.
    near that leaky valve.
    you are seeping out
    of my heart and into my
    rib cage.
    fluttering like a bird
    around my lungs.
    wrap your claws around
    my collar bone and
    settle in for the ride.

  31. he was so near to her

    she looked as close as the full moon but she was more of a star

    but like the moon and stars she was just a shining illusion

    she was so far from him

    he was the sun and he would surely burn her if she got to close

    but she loved him

  32. Near the end and yet it seems so very far away. Can I survive until then? Will I go insane with the wait? So near and yet so very far..

  33. I wish you were near, everyone of my bones breaks to be next to you, I wish you were near, I wish you were here, but even though you’re not it’s ok, because I can still smell you. I

  34. As I drive in circles, you’re always close to me.

    Boris
  35. I want to be. Three fall and rise. They go quietly. I’m here.

    Norris
  36. I want to live near some people I know.
    But not the people that I know too well.
    I don’t really have much of a choice, though.
    Looks like I’ll be living in dorm room hell.

    YAY, class of 2014!

  37. close or far the nearest thing to me right now would be my sandwich! and i am hungry but i do not actually want to have a turkey club right now. i would have much rather preferred to have sushi and some tater tots. that is why i think i need to go to sticky rice tonight.

  38. I was nearing insanity. Why couldn’t I beat the level? The giant lizard kept blowing me down with huge balls of fire, while Link cried when small lizards touched him. Fight your own battles Link. I have bigger challenges than a few, tiny lizards.

  39. We were near the border and I turned to her. “I love you.” She said to me as we were about to climb the fence. “And I you. Are you ready?” She looked up to the top of the fence and nodded.

  40. I was overjoyed as the lights on the rescue boat came nearer. Soon, it was so near that I had to shield my eyes from its blinding lights. Finally! I can leave this island! Finally, I can go home.
