But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bed, thinking that if people were rain, I was a drizzle and she was a hurricane.

It's a good thing most people bleed on the
inside or this would be a gory,, blood-smeared
earth. Because I think it's true. It
fits most people. We are all in pain at
points in our life, some are even in
constant paint but imagine if we showed
that pain on the outside and did
bleed with each little bit of pain
we felt. We'd all be wreck, I
do think people would have more
compassion for others if they got to see
the pain and hurt each person is going
through inside, but it'd still be a hell of a mess.

-Go Ask Alice

It's not the truth. The only truth is that love is hard and sometimes people need a little help.
( Pink by Marilyn Griffith )

Their plan had been very simple: to stay together for the rest of their lives. A plan that anyone within their circle would agree was accomplishable. They were best friends, lovers and soul mates, destined to be together, everyone thought. But as it happened, one day destiny greedily changed its mind.
( P.S. I Love You by Cecilia Ahern )

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behaviour. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
( Oprah Winfrey )

“ I may still not know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that someday I want to live in a house filled with my books and travel souvenirs. And the walls that aren’t covered in bookshelves will be covered with photos of my family and friends. When I leave the house I will be going to a job I love, and I’ll return to a person I love. So, that’s the dream I’m working on. ”
— Amber Morley

Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!
( Kelly Clarkson )

"life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways--champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, 'what a ride!'"
-Mavis Leyrer

there are nearly thirteen billion people in the world.
none of those people are an extra.
they're all the leads of their own story.
-Synecdoche, New York

there are objects of affection
that can mesmerize the soul
there is always one addiction
that just cannot be controlled

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.

i hope you always find a reason to smile.

maybe i was stupid, telling you goodbye
maybe i was wrong for trying to pick a fight
i know that i got issues but you're pretty messed up too
either way i found out i'm nothing without you

 i hung up the phone tonight and something happened for the first time

i can hardly breathe, i need to feel you here with me

i don't know who i am without you
all i know is that i should
cuz she will love you more than i could
she who dares to stand where i stood

you've got me hypnotized, so mesmerized

guess this means you're sorry
you're standing at my door.
guess this means you take back all you said before.
like how much you wanted anyone but me
said you'd never come back
but here you are again
cuz we belong together now

even though i found out, i'm nothing without you

how could i know what you meant
there was nothing to compare to
there's a mountain between us but
now i know how i feel about you

i really shouldn't miss you
but i can't let you go...

come on take a step towards me so you could figure me out
i've been hoping and praying
for a single way to show you what i'm all about

i dont know what i've done
or if i like what i've begun
something told me to run

she belongs to fairy tales that i could never be
the future haunts with memories that i could never have
hope is just a stranger, wondering how it got so bad

i die each time you look away
my heart, my life will never be the same
this love will take my everything
one breath, one touch will be the end of me

:]

As the sun goes down in front of me
It reminds of me of where I want to be
With you and you alone

I believe that you can save me
And you'll never let me fall
I'm not going to come down
I believe in what you've shown me

I'm not going to come down
Down off of these clouds
All these heroes come and go
You teach me to rise up
To open my eyes up

Take your time i wont go anywhere
I'll keep your things right where you left them
I'll be here for you

I'm trying to figure out what else to say
To make you turn around and come back this way

So i'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

You say you're leavin
As you look away
I know theres really nothin left to say
Just know i'm here
Whenever you need me
I'll wait for you

I can't get close if your not there

There are so many things I want to say to you, but time's caught me up and now I'll never say them - except that I've loved you from the moment I saw you and every moment since.

I'll see you in my dreams, waiting for you
to say, "I miss you, and I'm sorry."

lets talk about spaceships
or anything except you and me, okay ?

i think your purpose is to find someone
that makes you feel as if you have the
biggest purpose ever.

"a dress makes no sense unless it inspires
men to want to take it off you."
-Francoise Sagan-

If it didn't matter,
it wouldn't still be in your head.

We talked about old times, and it made
me smile because you didn't forget.

i guess in the end it taught me how to trust myself.  that
i should love every flaw. that no matter
what, i should just make the decision and jump,
and especially that I shouldn't regret it.

the process of growing up
was nothing more than figuring
out what doors hadn’t been
slammed in your face yet.

missing someone is part
of loving them.

Cause I can hang up as fast as you can call.
