I’ve thought for a long time that we were going to end up together, so I didn’t really care so much about the when of it. Now, though, the long road is starting to seem like the infinite road. 

"Despite your girlfriend and the fact that I don't even like you, I like to pretend that you are desperately in love with me and struggle with it everyday."

She was often restless to the point of irritability. She simply liked to feel that she was prevented from leaving,
that she was needed.

all i know is you don't just give up on people like that.
this was an all or nothing deal and you gave me nothing.
but i gave you everything. all of me.

If I'd been someone else in a different world I would have done something different, but I was myself and the world was the world, so I was silent.

If you're planning to let me go today,
make sure you'll never come back tomorrow.

 

I'm still here because I've got nothing else to do. You're an asshole, but I'm getting used to you. I like the fact you talk incessantly. You like me so you try and make me feel like shit. I think it's kind of funny, I kind of enjoy it.

"I think I love him, but I also think that you can love people
who aren't good for you." 
Augusten Burroughs

I'm saying that I'm a moody, insecure, narrow-minded, jealous,
borderline homicidal bitch, and I want you to promise me
that you're okay with that, because it's who I am,
and you're what I need.
Jeaniene Frost

i'm the one who fell in love, and stayed that way.

I hope that a little part of you still thinks of me

I am so afraid that I am responsible for my own loneliness.

Let’s be honest. Sometimes there is nothing harder in life than being happy for somebody else.

There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect you to understand that, or even believe it.. but trust me, there are some loves that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy.. but we all should be lucky enough to end up with somebody who has a little of that insanity, someone who never lets go, someone who cherishes you forever.

There isn’t a moment of my day that isn’t spent wondering where you are, what you’re doing, how you’re feeling. Even in the quiet of the night, when everything is still and I am nearly asleep, there’s a part of me that is still wondering.

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive. Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair and that you would never leave. But you gave away the things you loved, and one of them was me.

“Tell him yes,” she said. “Even if you are dying of fear, even if you are sorry later, because whatever you do, you will be sorry all the rest of your life if you say no. -Love in the Time of Cholera

I've always followed my heart instead of my head. I've always jumped, always took that leap of faith into the unknown,having no idea of what the outcome of my actions would be. But now, now it's so very clear. I need to stop following my heart.I just need to stop, before I do anything at all. I need to stop and think about it, about what I am about to do.I need to think about whether it is right or it is wrong. Because when you follow your heart, you lose track of what's right and what's wrong,
and it tears you apart.

"And the secret is, this will hurt less and less each time.
Until you can't feel a thing."

With my fingertips, I trace on your bare skin all of the things I'd like to say but cannot speak. You mean everything. There not quite words enough, to tell you all the things that you've become for me.

When you're stuck loving someone, all you wanna do is stay away. But, when that person shows even the smallest gesture of affection, all your efforts of moving on go down the drain.

"I do not want just a piece of you and a piece of your life. Even if you were able, which you are not, to give me the biggest piece, that is not what I want. I want all of you and every part of you and your day"

I have no idea how he knows when I need him. We can go weeks without speaking.
And then, when my blue moods threaten to turn black, he will show up and tell me my moods are
azure, indigo, cerulean, cobalt, periwinkle. And suddenly, the blue will not seem so dark,
more like the color of a noon-bright sky. He brings the sun.

I'm in one of those moods that nothing is really wrong in my life, but my brain keeps on insisting that there is. Or maybe it's my heart thats doing the insisting. I can't really tell. You know that feeling?

"Scarlet, before you go through this, I want to remind you of September 7th, 1988. It was the first time that I saw you. You were reading Less Than Zero, and you were wearing a Guns 'n' Roses t-shirt. I'd never seen anything so perfect. I remember thinking that I had to have you or I'd die. Then you whispered that you loved me at the homecoming dance, and I felt so peaceful and safe because I knew that no matter what happened, from that day on, nothing can ever be that bad because I had you. And then I, uh, I grew up and I lost my way. And I blamed you for my failures. And I know that you think you have to do this today, but I don't want you to. But I guess if I love you, I should let you move on."

"I'd give you my everything if you gave me yours. I know we tried this a few times, but that was before. I'm ready if you're ready, and I'm pretty sure I am. I'm waiting for you here, but I don't know how long I can."

It's like a quarter to three and I just can't sleep, cause I'm thinking of you, and all those times we cried. Did we really try? Now I'm dreaming in blue. No matter where we say goodbye, I tell you baby, keep your head high. I'll wait for love. I'll wait for you. I'll wait for love. I'll wait, will you? When times are hard, I'll think of you. I'll wait for love.

Everyone is taught to look both ways before crossing the street and to talk quietly in the library. But no one ever learns anything that matters, like how to keep breathing when your heart breaks in half.

If you give this one more shot, I'll make it up in every way. I'll call you twice a day and drive you to the airport just so I can watch you leave... even if you're leaving me.

Losing your first real love, it’s like waking up from an overdose and realizing that you’re still alive.

Each night I put my head to my pillow. I try to tell myself I’m strong because I’ve gone one more day without you\

Just enjoy yourself and enjoy life and let him come to you.

I loved him. He needed time to think and that was ok- he was worth waiting for... and waiting for... and waiting for. Finally I realized I had waited away my life for an answer he had already given me: If he loved me back, I would not have had to wait.

Everyday for the rest of my life I will search for moments full of you.

It was love, wasn't it?

This is how it works, you're young until you're not, you love until you don't, you try until you can't, you laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh and everyone must breathe until their dying breath. No, this is how it works. You peer inside yourself, you take the things you like and try to love the things you took and then you take that love you made and stick it into someone else's heart, pumping someone else's blood and walking arm in arm. You hope it don't get harmed, but even if it does, you'll just do it all again.

 

I hope you find out what you want; I already know what I am. And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again and you can tell me how vile I already know I am.

I always fall in love with an open door,
with a horizon on an endless sea.

 

"And at some point I’ll call you and tell you I miss you. And tell you, you are the point of my day. And my face will get flushed and my throat will choke up when you tell me that you feel the same."

I want to know what you see when you look at me.”
His fingers dug into my shoulders.
“I want to know your favorite Stooge and the hour you were born
and the thing that scares you more than anything else in the world.
I want to be there when you wake up.
-Jodi Picoult

and its still out of my reach
and you're still all of the things that i want in my life

"Yes, I’m drunk. And you’re beautiful.
And tomorrow morning, I’ll be sober but you’ll still be beautiful"

"Just once I want to fall in love and not have it hurt so bad in the end.
Actually can I just have a love that doesn't end?
Or is there no such thing?"
-Allison Mosher

I don't want to get over you. I guess I could take a sleeping pill and sleep at will, and not have to go through what I go through. I guess I should take Prozac, right, and just smile all night at somebody new. Somebody not too bright but sweet and kind, who would try to get you off my mind. I could leave this agony behind, which is just what I'd do if I wanted to but I don't want to get over you.

I wanted to be the person he told things to. I wanted him to think I was pretty, I wanted him to be reminded of me by stuff I liked-- pistachios and hooded sweatshirts and the Dylan song "Girl from the North Country"-- and I wanted him to miss me when we were apart. I wanted him to feel, when we were lying in bed together, like he couldn't imagine anywhere better.
-Curtis Sittenfield, Prep

and you, maybe you'll remember me,
What i gave is yours to keep.

take for who I am,
not for who I've been
