Oh, hello

I’m shutting my doors and putting my walls back up. I’m closing my curtains and removing the welcome mat. I’m blocking everything out again, because it’s so much easier than feeling something.

We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.

I’ve never understood the reasoning for someone to "move on" from a relationship. It’s not like you are really going to "move on". You are just trying to tell your heart to stop thinking about that person all the time, until it finally becomes a routine and you don’t notice it anymore. That is, until you see that person again, with someone who isn’t you, and then you have to remind yourself again.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.

People have scars in all sorts of unexpected places like secret road maps of their personal histories, diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar, but some of them don't. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere. And though the cut's long gone, the pain still lingers.

I'm never letting this one go, because certain people enter our lives at the most peculiar times, for the most beautiful reasons. They seem to make such perfect impressions while leaving behind an everlasting impact. Some of the best things in life appear when you least expect them. Things you can never forget.


In my whole life, no one has ever looked at me the way that you do. No one has ever, touched my face or brushed my hair out of my eyes like you do. And maybe this is really selfish but, it’s not just you I’m going to miss. It’s the way I feel when I’m with you that I’m going to miss even more.

Two souls could not be more perfect for each other. He is everything I thought I would never be able to find in another person. He makes me laugh like I have never laughed. My smile has never been so bright. He never stops surprising me. But we are worlds apart. He is my forbidden fruit. Is the risk to give up a good thing worth the chance for something great?

There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.

My feelings just changed. I had been waiting for you to realize you couldn't go another day without me. I had played out every excuse you could of had for putting all that time between us. Missing you had become second nature to me. And somewhere in the last year, when I never got that phone call, and you never showed up at my door, and we never ran into each other, I just stopped feeling like I needed you so much.

The terrible thing about love is that it takes away your safety net, your balancing pole. Even the tightrope you walk upon will disappear beneath you, yet love expects you to keep walking anyway, arms outstretched, one foot after the other, on nothing more than air.

To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made less by anything. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no one else can fit. Why would I want them to?

Well it seems to me that the best relationships, the ones that last, are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And that person who was just a friend is suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

4:32am

It's always tempting to lose yourself with someone who may be lost themselves.

You're the one I've always thought of. I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love. You're where I belong.
And when you're with me, if I close my eyes, there are times I swear I feel like I can fly for a moment in time.

There is a reason why someone leaves your life and doesn't ever come back,
and why someone always keeps coming back. The hardest part is accepting that.

For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm doing something right because when I look at him, it's there.
In everything he does to me, it's there. I don't know what it is, but I know that it is there, & it's never going to leave.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow;
but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

When I'm with you I feel like that's where I belong.
And honestly, that's the only place I want to be.

When you run from something it only stays with you longer.
when you fight something, It only makes it stronger.

An arrow can be shot only by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties,
it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Delayed

As I stand here looking at you, I wonder if there will ever be a day when I will get over your smile. When I will let go of the hugs you gave me, a day that I continue to feel. A day when I forget the words you said to me. Whatever happens to us, I know I could never get over, let go, or ever forget about you.

It's not the goodbye that hurts,
it's the flashback that follows.

Maybe we've been living with our eyes half open.
Maybe we're bent and broken, we were meant to live for so much more.
Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere, we live inside.

The worst goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained.

I wish I missed the first time that we kissed, because you broke all of your promises.

There's some illogical part of me that still believes if you want superman to show up,
first there's got to be someone worth saving.

You are not boring or vain or simple or mean. You're colorful, complex,
and have a beauty that's all your own. And for the record, you are infinitely nicer than they give you credit for.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

You went away to solve your problems and accidentally solved mine.

You can really tell a lot about a person from their taste in music. What pushes them through the hard times,
what makes them jump and dance and what makes tears come to their eyes. You just have to hear what they do.

I believe that we are who we choose to be. Nobody's going to come and save you, you've got to save yourself.

Nobody's going to give you anything. You've got to go out and fight for it. Nobody knows what you want except for you. And nobody will be as sorry as you if you don't get it. So don't give up on your dreams.

Our hearts combined like a neutron star collision.

Broken hearts never mend,
but fools never move on.

At Ease

You are hope, change, and things worth fighting for. This is all your story, and your story isn't over.

Being in love was like China: You knew it was there and no doubt it was very interesting, and some people went there but I never would. I'd spend all my life without ever going to China, but it wouldn't matter because there was all the rest of the world to visit.

The elevator to succes is out of order,
you'll have to use the stairs, one step at a time.

Some things are meant to be broken,
but I won't settle for being one of them.

I'm not trying to pick myself back up, because there's no one else who I would rather fall for.

Quit cheating yourself out of the best thing that could ever happen to you. Quit cheating him out of what he's wanted for so long, and just fall. Fall hard, fall long, and fall forever.

My head is in the clouds, my heart is in the sky, my mind is in a dreamboat and you're the reason why.

Overwhelmed

I’ll surrender my world to you if that is the only way I could become a part of yours.

I believe in love and lust and sex and romance. I don’t want everything to add up to some perfect equation. I want mess and chaos. I want someone to go crazy out of his mind for me. I want to feel passion and heat and sweat and madness and I want Valentines and Cupids and all the rest of that crap. I want it all.

When I met you I thought I found the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with… I was done. So all the boys and all the bars and all the obvious daddy issues.. who cared? Because I was done. You left me. You chose her. I’m all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke.

I like him. But I loved you. I was so in love with you. I let you go because I had to. Because it hurt too much. I needed to be able to look at you and still see this great guy that was trustworthy and understanding. I needed to be able to look at you and see my best friend, not just another person who let me down. I moved on, yes, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve forgotten. And that doesn’t mean that I won’t be here anymore if you ever want to come back.

You know for most of my life I would have gone through this alone, but then I met you. And I finally found someone I could depend on like I've got this. So I guess I called you 'cause I wanted to know if that was still there.

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

If I could go anywhere in the world, I would choose the sky. But I wouldn't stop to mingle with the birds or race the jet planes or even catch a ride on a rocket. I'd just keep going, and maybe if I flew high enough, I would melt into the sun. And I would finally burn with the type of passion I've only ever dreamed of.

I like people who have a sense of individuality.
I love expression and anything akward and imperfect,
because that's natural and that's real.

Remember

The best feeling in the world is finally knowing you took a step in the right direction, a step towards the future where everything that you never though was possible is possible.

As great as we could have been, we weren't.
And there is no point of dwelling on what could have been,
because it won't happen anymore.
You didn't waste your time, I did.

My heart isn't yours to claim,
it's mine to give away.

I never want to lose you. You don’t understand how important you are to me. You’re my best friend, my whole life. You, you’re the reason I wake up with a smile on my face, the reason why I started singing in the shower again. And I don’t just throw around words like that. I think I’m in love with you. Completely and irrationally. For me to say something like that is very rare; love doesn’t usually come this easily for me. You must be someone very rare. Don’t go, don’t leave now.

We are all somewhat damaged & in that realization we are all beautiful.

I think I've loved every person I've ever known. I think that there's something in every single individual that can compliment you, or can contrast you in the worse possible way. But after you've met someone. Someone who drives you crazy, who you can argue with, someone who's littlest habits are enough to make you swoon; you'll know it's love. Because they had something that no one else had.

She talks with a broken heart - Her voice lutes brokenly like a heart lost, musically too, like in a lost grove, it's almost too much to bear sometimes like some fantastic futuristic Jerry Southern singer in a nightclub who steps up to the mike in the spotlight in Las Vegas but doesn't even have to sing, just talk, to make men sigh and women wonder I guess...

I gave you my heart way back in August. It is now May. You still have it. You crushed it, ripped it, and stomped on it. But the only way for it to heal is if you give it back to me. Can you do that please? I'd appreciate it.

We're so different. We're hot and cold, fire and water. I'm loud, you're quiet. I talk, you listen. I'm crazy, you're sane, but that's why this works. You fill in my missing pieces and I complete you. I guess that's why, despite the questions and challenges, I still believe in us and I still believe in this. And as long as we have each other, I think we'll be alright.

I'm a wick that can't be tamed, every fiber of me is strange.

Lust

No matter what, you deserve to smile; 
don’t let anyone take that away from you.

If I could, I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells and remove whatever makes you hurt - but I am too weak to be your cure.

The only thing I've learned is that you can't move on alone. You need someone else to show you that behind all the clouds, the sun is still shining.

And when I'm over you, I'll be the happiest I've ever been. Happier than you ever made me.

Never think you're nothing. Never cry at night over not being pretty enough. Never tell yourself you'll never be good enough. Because to someone, you're everything. To someone, you're beautiful. To someone you are the world.

Tears are words straight from the heart.
They can't be explained, and sometimes they're hard to understand.
Tears are mixed emotions, tears are broken love letters.
Tears are more than just tears.

Strength isn't how much you can handle before you break; it's about how much you can handle after you break.

Don’t let a few rips in your heart keep you from loving at all.

I'm better now, but I'm still incomplete.

You didn't love me. You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe I was just too good for your ego. Or maybe I made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love me. Because you don't destroy people you love.

Tell me my dreams are unrealistic, & I'll tell you yours aren't big enough.

You are my science. You make me believe in the atoms in your skin. Now I believe in the chemistry in our kiss. And now I believe in the molecules that make up love.You are my science. I am a scientist.

Yes, I was infatuated with you. I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn’t stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren’t having any of those.

He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.

You make me feel so comfortable in silence. With other people, it's awkward, I have to ramble on to fill the space in between us. But with you, your eyes speak the words I need to hear, and your heart sings my favorite song. Although I can hear nothing, I feel everything I need.

You've made the air flammable. These walls are just paper. And blood is gasoline. You shouldn't have come here, made of fireworks, if you didn't want me to play with fire. I need a light.

I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had smallpox.

I owe you nothing and you're nothing to me. Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous obsession with love.

I was addicted to saying things and having them matter to someone.

You told me it'd be okay. But you were the one crying. You told me to let go. But you were the one holding onto my shirt. Each night I put my head on my pillow. And try to tell myself I'm strong. Because I've gone another day without you.

You're a coward and a liar at best. Keep walking, kid, and choke on your regrets.

It's times like these when all I really want to do is put on your favorite t-shirt, curl up in a ball and sleep to dry these tears. Never in my life did I think that I would need someone so much.

My nerves have been shaking twenty-four-seven and I've stopped trying to calm them. Nothing, and I mean nothing, seems right anymore. Each day gets more dreadful and each day I wish I wasn't here just a little more than the day before. I've been back in a corner for days and no one will pull me out. Being alone really does feel as awful as it sounds. Between the arguments and the tears, I can't hear my own thoughts anymore. I have no clue of what I want, what I need, or what I should have.

Dear you,
I think it's time for you to let go of him.
He has hurt you & me too much.
Just let the memories fade. It's time to leave him behind.
I know it'll be hard, but it's for the best, trust me.
Remember, always follow me and everything will be fine.
Love always, Your Heart

Forget

The next time I'll fall in love, I want to fall for someone who will make me feel that loving him is the greatest decision I ever made and not just another mistake.

Relationships are worth fighting for. But sometimes, you can't be the only one fighting.

Just because something isn't happening for you right now doesn't mean that it will never happen. It means you're not ready for it yet.

And above all, watch with glittery eyes the world around, because the greatest secrets and lessons to life are hidden in the most unlikely places.

My thoughts tend to sound better in books I didn't write, and in the songs I didn't sing. Even then, sometimes there is no piece of literature, no song, no work of art that can really explain the way you feel. There is a double-edge comfort in knowing that no one really knows.

It doesn’t matter how you did it, why you did it or even if you meant to do it. All that matters is that you broke my heart when you promised me that you wouldn’t. The other shit that comes outta your mouth while you’re apologizing means nothing to me.

Someone out there is meant to be the love of your life, your best friend, your soulmate. The one you can tell all your dreams to and he will never laugh at your heart. He'll brush the hair out of your eyes and send flowers when you least expect it. He'll call you to tell you goodnight before you get into bed or just because he is thinking about you. He'll be bursting to talk to you each morning just to hear the sound of your voice. He'll look into your eyes and tell you that you are the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, and for the first time in your life, you will believe it.

You read "sorry, try again" off the inside of a bottle cap; story of your life. You never come first, you're never the winner, you're never the best. There's always someone better. Maybe next time; you did your best. At least you tried. All these things are supposed to make you feel better, but it just reminds you that no matter how hard you try, how you gave it your all, you failed. You'll never be good enough for him.

Reach for the stars. Stand on your tiptoes, and never tell yourself no. You, yes you, can achieve anything. It may take months, it may take years but when you finally have a firm grasp on that star, the reward is breathtaking.

Funny that one moment both of you were inseparable. And now, you're just two different people trying to forget each other.

And one day I hope you look back at what we had, and regret every single thing you did to let it end.

Looking back now, I don't even see what I saw in you to begin with.

Don't let him have the satisfaction of knowing you'll always be there waiting.

Don't ever give up if you still want to try, don't ever wipe your tears if you still want to cry. Don't ever settle for an answer if you still want to know, don't ever say you don't love him if you can't let him go.

You just have to learn that sometimes, it isn't love. It's just a feeling. A sudden feeling, and you just overreacted.

You know, after that day I changed. I am no longer the same person that I was three weeks ago. I am not the same person who believed in fate. I won't believe in 'signs' anymore because they really do not mean anything, no matter how bad you wish or hope they do. As of right now, I don't believe in love. There is no happily ever after. Not in this world. At least not for me. Not now. Not ever.

I don’t want you, that ship sailed. I just want something other than this.

I said my goodbyes and wiped my hands clean, but the lack of you is starting to kick in.

Do us both a favor and don't come back.

I'm gonna love you with my hands tied.

And when I'm over you, I'll be the happiest I've ever been. Happier than you ever made me.

Like a rainbow after the rain, there’s always a good thing after the pain.

Sometimes it seems like you'd rather watch me drown, than see your hands get wet.

It's a little too late, I'm a little too gone, a little too tired of just hanging on.

No matter what the outcome is, you have to realize you put your all into it and that’s what counts.Things happen how they're meant to,all you can do is learn from them and accept the possibility of a better tomorrow, of a new day.

Never

We can't go back to how things used to be, nothing is ever going to be the same again. It's not my fault so don't blame me, you're the one who decided to leave.

"Keep your head up, your legs closed, and your eyes open. - Tupac

I'm sorry to tell you, but I think it's true. "I'm done with him", was the truth. She's moving on without you. You never see tears in her eyes anymore. She smiles more than anything now. Don't walk back into her life and expect things to go back to how they were, because this time - it's different. This time, you made her realize she can do better.

No one falls in love by choice, it is by chance. No one stays in love by chance, it is by work. And no one falls out of love by chance, it is by choice.

Love the heart that hurts you,
but never hurt the heart that loves you.

Unless it's mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it's a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life, and love shouldn't be one of them.

And then my soul saw you and it kind of went "Oh there you are. I've been looking for you."

Life is all about ass. Everyone is either covering it, laughing it off, kicking it, kissing it, trying to get a piece of it or being one.

They say that good things take time, but really great things happen in the blink of an eye.

"I am coming to terms with the fact that loving someone requires a leap of faith, and that a soft landing is never guaranteed" -Sarah Dessen

Her heart is breaking as she's staring at every single girl that walks by, somehow thinking that they're better than her. Tonight, she'll lie awake, and tear herself down, because that's what she's best at. She's just one of those girls that no matter how many times she's told, never believes that she's beautiful.

He said, 'I missed you.' I said, 'I missed you too.'
Then he fell silent and so did I.
I then said, 'Thank you.'
He asked, 'For what?
I said, 'For giving me back my life.'
He smiled and said, 'Then thank you for starting mine.'

I guess in the end, the person that loved the most hurts the most.

Wherever you are, I hope that you're happy tonight. And maybe you found someone who will love you right.

Always

You get to a point where you stop feeling sorry for yourself. You realize no one's going to save you, so you have to save yourself. You turn your life around, not knowing where you're going, just knowing that you'll do anything, anything to be happy again.

There is a big gap between who I am and who I want to be.

I wish I could believe in myself like I believe in you. In order to move on, 
you must know why you felt the way you did
and why you no longer need to feel it. I want someone to fall in love with the way I laugh and fall in love with my smile. I want someone who'll listen to the rambling of my inner child, someone who touches my face and brushes the hair from my eyes. I want someone who loves me, or at least holds me like they do. But I only what that if it's you.

I find beauty in everyone's flaws except for my own

There's just something about you that I'm scared to lose because I know I won't find it in anyone else.

Because I miss you, when something really good happens, you're the first one I want to share it with. Because I miss you when something is troubling me, you're the only one who would've understand. Because I miss you, when I laugh and cry, you're the only one who could make me laugh harder and make my tears disappear. I don't know where we went and why we grew apart, but you should know, I miss you.

As hard as it was to move on, I think I'm finally okay with how we are. At some point, we both wish we didn't ignore each other like that. I’ll be forgiving you, just like you were forgiving me. People make mistakes, second chances are okay. It’s like a weight has just been lifted, I can finally breathe and not worry about what he will say, or when he would've finally stopped ignoring me. Because now I no longer care.

No matter what you do to me, I'm still here. For some odd reason, I stick around and put up with all your mood swings and unkind words. I just let your comments roll off me into a puddle on the floor. I make up excuses on why you didn't call, try to think of all the answers. I keep going back for more even though sometimes you push me away. I don't know if I can do better, but do I really want to? You're quick to push me down when all I want is to be brought up. when I walk out for good, when I really gain the strength I need, then maybe you will see. Maybe you can look back and say, "wow that girl really did love me."

You meant the world to me, even if I didn’t mean the world to you. You taught me so much, and I just want you to know I appreciate everything you’ve done for me in the past few month. You gave me something to be happy about, you gave me the meaning o what it’s like to know that someone actually cares. You truly are an amazing person and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I know things aren’t easy between us right now, but I hope someday soon, we can go back to how we used to be. But no matter what, don’t ever forget that I am always here for you when you need someone, regardless of what the situation is. You were there for me, so I'm going to be there for you. This isn’t goodbye forever, this is goodbye for now.

Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you are a good person and a good friend. What is meant to be will end up good, and what is not, won't. Relationships are worth fighting for, but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't, you must move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you. Hopefully people realize great things when they come around and don't lose something real. And always fight until you can't anymore, and then be fought for.

You're probably thinking I've forgotten all about you by now, but that's far from it. I have missed you every waking day and my heart still hurts, but I'm getting better. I continue to smile and still go on without you. I know I have missed you, but I have kept it all inside of me, only for me to know. I still wonder about your doings, how you are, what you're doing, from what we used to talk about, to the laugh in your voice. Just everything, I miss it all. However, I feel that the parting of us was for the best, because everything happens for a reason. Should destiny put us into a crossing road in the future, that is when I will see you again. Until then, remember this, no matter what, even through the screaming fights, the disagreements, mistakes and the tears we've cried, never ever did I give up on you. ***

I need someone to prove to me that I'm worth it, really worth it to them. maybe all I need is a person who can show me that everyone is not the same. Honestly, I thought you were that person but I was wrong. Is it too much to ask for someone to take a risk on me, to fight for me, to actually care enough to not let something go; the way I did for you? You never even thanked me. I acted the way I did because I cared. I didn't realize it then, but I do now. I don't do that for just anyone. So, call me crazy, but today.. today I realized that i can't keep waiting for you. I'm moving on, I can't stay in one place waiting. I can't be around you anymore. I'm not over it, I don't get over things fast, I never have, no matter how much I try and convince myself. I'll see you around sometime. I keep thinking maybe somehow, something will click and everything will go back to the way it was in the beginning. Maybe we could go back to that, but too much has been said and done. So, maybe you'll get one more chance from me, maybe you won't.

You keep telling me to be glad for what we had while we had it. That the brightest flame burns quickest. Which means you saw us as a candle. And I saw us as the sun.

You absolutely destroyed me, did you know that? But you know what, I just wanna say thank you. I don't regret meeting you, but I don't wish you would magically come back into my life again because I believe God gives us someone like this for a reason. Someone who will hurt you a million times, someone who will leave you and not look back. But this person, they will make you a better person in the end. You will come out stronger than ever before and you will be happier without him than you were with him.

Well, how did you expect it to be? You signed up for a car crash when you signed up with me. And you can't swim to safety on a sinking ship. So, go home, baby, if you're ready to quit.

Thought

Stomach, meet butterflies.

An apology doesn't make things right. If anything, it just helps you sleep better at night. I know you meant well, but words will never change a thing. You're so selfish, you wouldn't even let me in on the coldest of nights.

Do you miss the blend of colors she left in your black and white field? Do you feel condemned just being there?

She wouldn't care if you called her and woke her up to talk at 2am. She loves arguing, and she's good at it. Scary movies make her paranoid. She hates it when people don't call her back. She envies every couple she sees walking around showing their happiness. She only wants to be lately, and lately all she's thought about is you.

You're like a hurricane to me, your center is sweet and your violence, beautiful.

He ate my heart.

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more wall.

I understand. After all, you've lied to everyone else. I was beginning to feel left out.

Don’t you dare tell me nothing matters. Everything matters. Every fucking drop of rain, every ray of sunlight, every wisp of cloud matters and they matter because I can see them and if I can see them then they can see me and I know that there’s an entire world that cares out there, hiding behind a world that doesn’t, afraid to show who it really is and with or without you. I will drag that world out of the dirt and the blood and the muck until we live in it. Until we all live in it.

Maybe that’s just growing up. When you’re young, you tell yourself things like "Well, if it didn’t work out, it wasn’t meant to be" as if that actually meant something, just because it sounds like it does. I think you can say something like that so blithely because you expect to stumble onto something else just as wonderful just around the next bend in the road. But people are rare perfect unique things, and just because everyone really does live a life full of farewells doesn’t mean you shouldn’t at least realize what it really means to say goodbye to something that meant everything. Just because you will survive and get over it doesn’t mean you should let it go.

You absolutely destroyed me, did you know that? But you know what, I just wanna say thank you. I don't regret meeting you, but I don't wish you would magically come back into my life again because I believe God gives us someone like this for a reason. Someone who will hurt you a million times, someone who will leave you and not look back. But this person, they will make you a better person in the end. You will come out stronger than ever before and you will be happier without him than you were with him.

I hate how you sit there and act like you know me. Let's get this straight. You used to know me. And you remember what happened with that situation? See, that girl you used to know… she left. Just like you did.

You will never know how hard it is. No one will. Not amount of pain or suffering can compare to that second that I watched you walk away, and never come back.

Remember how you promised me this wouldn't change anything? Only it did. And you said that nothing could make you feel any different about me? Only it did. And that you loved me? Only you didn't, not even a little bit, not even at all. So now I'm laying in bed trying to figure out exactly why I let you win when we both knew that you were full of it. But sometimes I just wanna pretend that I'm happy and that maybe someone won't leave me. But they always do. I have been plagued by countless versions of you. Maybe I should just get used to the idea that nobody can handle me.

I want to loose myself in you.

You were my ticket out of here, and I was your dream come true. You gave me everything I ever wanted, except for you.

Every time I see something beautiful, I wish you were still here to see it with me.

Sometimes you feel everything and nothing all at once. Sometimes you’ll find yourself smiling while missing someone at the same time. At times you can absolutely love a person, all the while wanting to hate them so badly. Life comes without guarantee’s, except that smiling will brighten your face, laughing will enhance your eyes, and falling in love will change your life.

Neglect

I will never regret you or say that I wish I'd never met you because once upon a time you were exactly what I needed.

Even though we know we shouldn't love them, we do and always will, because there are just a small number of people in this world who will "get" us for reasons we can't explain, even when they shouldn't.

Without him, I didn't feel the simplicities in the world anymore. The sky was just the sky, and I was just a girl, and without him, neither seemed quite as exquisite and beautiful.

After all is said and done, I still think you're amazing. I still cherish every moment I spent with you, every smile you brought to my face. I'll be forever thankful that someone like you was brought into my life, even if you had to be taken away too soon. See you were my miracle. You were the fairytale I got to live.

And damn, I just want to feel a little safe. I never asked for romance novel love, or movie screen images of kisses. I just wanted to not be alone.

So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead I know what's best for me but I want you instead I'll keep on wasting all my time.

I swear to you I'll try my best. I won't let you fall. I won't let another goddamn tear run down your face. You're everything, and I need you to see that. I'm sorry I haven't treated you well in the past. I'm sorry I gave up on you. I'm here now, and I'm not going to sit back and watch you lose yourself this time. I promise you that.

How can time just let things fall apart? Because for me, things fall apart, and they never know how to be put back together. Things will never be put back together. No matter how hard I try, I know I'm going to lose you. You're one star in a sky of a thousand, but you're the brightest one, and I know you'll fade. You'll fade until I can't find you anymore.

Doomed to be forgotten.

Heart vs. heart.

I prefer to live in my own little world.

I hide my pain like the rest of them, that's why I'm always laughing. I'm troubled, I'm brilliant and miserable too that's why I'm so funny. I swallow down all my fears with a bottle made of silver, I've only been here for 16 years but already my life is over.

Even though we no longer speak, I still hope you’re doing okay. I’d never admit it to you, but I hate seeing you do this to yourself. I still care.

We're not the same, dear, as we used to be. The seasons have changed and so have we, there was little we could say and even less that we could do to stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.

I'd wait for you forever, if you promised to come back.

So many times I've loved you, more than myself. It's time to take that love and put it on the shelf.

I won't fight to stay when all you want for me to do is leave. I’m not gonna miss you when you don't miss me. I’m not gonna care when you don't at all. I’m just not going to try anymore. You've kept my hopes up for much too long. It's about time they come crashing back down to earth.

So why'd you have to go? Is there something I could say, to make you turn around? Cause it's nights like these I wish I'd said don't go.

And I find it kind of funny but I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.

I'm fine. I mean, not that I'm over it, but little by little it's getting easier to pretend it's easier, which means easier might be right around the corner.

Do not ruin yourself pursueing the ones who want something you are not.

"The best revenge is living well without you." - Joyce Carol Oates

I was just thinking about the lyrics to this song 'a dream is a wish you make with your heart', and if thats true, then my heart wants alot of dirty things.

I love you because I know you're always there. There to catch me when I fall. There to listen when I need you, there when I feel alone. I love you because you understand me. You know how I feel even when I can't say it. You know I'm not as strong as I say and still you never let me know that I'm not fooling you. I love you because you make me believe, believe that I am not worthless. Believe that I can be loved, am loved, and can love others. I love you because you know, you know I feel this way but can't say it and still you wait. Letting me take my time to come to terms with the fact that I love you, would give my life up to be with you. And above all, never hurt you, lie to you, or leave you. Now I hope you understand.

Yesterday

Laying there with your arms around me, I felt so comfortable and safe. My heart was beating a mile a minute having you so close to me. As you played with my hair and kissed me, I couldn't help but smile straight from my heart. I could see how much you cared from the look in your eyes. It made me never want to let you go, to just stay wrapped in your arms forever, where nothing else matters but you and me.

I was born to be stubborn, to be a little bitchy, to push people, and push myself. I was taught to never take life for granted, to live a little, to love with everything I had to never give up, to believe in my myself,but most of all to fight for myself.

People say that I've changed so much.
Well here's the truth: I grew up.
I stopped letting people push me around.
I learned that you can't always be happy.
I accepted reality.

I need someone to stay with me when times get tough, someone to hug and kiss me when I've had enough. I get tired of hearing the same bullshit every day, someone to tell me, "baby, you're going to make it, okay?"

No one said it would be easy, but no one told me it would be this hard. If you knew you were going to break me, you should have left at the start.

Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go, moving on, and starting over.

"You have the key to my heart. When I'm away from you that lock is sealed shut but when I'm with you my heart is opened and all of my love pours out for you." - Garrett Hill

"You're like an addictive drug to me. When I'm with you I'm high on it, but when we're apart, I can't stop craving it." - Garrett Hill

I just can't erase you from my past. I just can't delete you from my mind. All I can do is say gooodbye, I can't pretend we were never here. I can't fake like it didn't hurt when you disappeared. I refuse to use a fake old grin, but then again, I'll never win. I can't pretend that I don't care, I can't pretend that you're near. So I guess all I can do is just pretend to say goodbye.

Don't delay your life even though someone has attempted to delay yours.

Your departure gave me a shove and sent me flying into the atmosphere above.

I want you to remember me. If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

You were never a waste of time, just a harsh realization that I can do better.

Sometimes the heart see's what's invisible to the eyes.

If you want to know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders.

Just because everything is different dosen't mean anything has changed.

I've seen nights full of pain, days of the same, you keep the sunshine, save me the rain. I search but never find, hurt but never cry, work and forever try,
 but I'm cursed, so nevermind.

I thought I knew you, but I guess it's easier to see what we want than to look for the truth. You think you know me, but you don't. And that means that you don't know what I can do. yYou see me as someone who's popular and has all the answers. That's not true. I may not always know what I'm doing, but I'll try to make things better. And when I make a mistake, because face it, we all do, I promise I'll ask for your help. I can't do this alone, but if you'll take a chance on me we can do great things together. I promise if you believe in me I'll find the courage to reach for your every dream. John F. Kennedy said "the courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures." And that is the basis of all morality.

Sometimes, I feel like I don't belong where I am, and that I have the wrong people in my life. I get this feeling, like I'm an outsider even when I'm being included or that I'm always around people who don't know me at all. Then I see you smile at me and I don't mind being invisible to the rest of the world, I realize I'll always feel alone without you around.

Without you, I get this feeling, like I'm drowning. That feeling of frustration, when you know you need something so much and you cant get to it. Knowing you would give anything to have air to breath again and yet somehow your deprived of it. Sometimes I feel like you are my air, the source of my frustration whenever you are gone. The only time I can fully breath, is with you.

I guess if you don't jump, you'll never know if you can fly.

Your faults are perfection, you shine so bright, you see.

If I can't be happy with you, then I'll find a way to be happy without you.

There are two ways to be happy; improve your reality or lower your expectations.

When something seems to go wrong, it is invariably part of a bigger right.

Even you know more was meant to happen with you and me.

He's the king of mixed signals, and I'm the queen of second thoughts.

I found me, and that's all I need right now.

It's not you I hate, it's the things you've done.

Somehow, you find beauty in me. That completely takes my breath away.

I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.

I miss the twinkle in your eye; the fire that burned to keep us alive.

Behind every "I'm okay" is a mind full of confusion trying to find a way out.

Your eyes are blue like the ocean, and baby, I'm lost out at sea.

I hate you. I hate you for what you've done to me.

You're so tough, I want to be your weakness.

Together forever, never apart. Maybe in distance, but never in heart.

Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far far away.

It's impossible for me to remember a time when you were not a part of me.

I'll tear down the stars and give them to you, they're not as pretty as your eyes, but I guess they'll just have to do.

I'm not giving up, I'm simply doing what's best for me and that's not being a part of your life anymore.

I like him. But I loved you. I was so in love with you. I let you go because I had to. Because it hurt too much. I needed to be able to look at you and still see this great guy that was trustworthy and understanding. I needed to be able to look at you and see my best friend, not just another person who let me down. I moved on, yes, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve forgotten. And that doesn’t mean that I won’t be here anymore if you ever want to come back.

Where were you when everything was falling apart? All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang. And all I needed was a call that never came.

Fall hard, fall long, and fall forever.

We're all broken enough to be humble.

I wait for the day when I forget who you are, when the sound of your name is old and worn, the day I won't remember why I needed you so bad.

The thing is, I can't remember the last time I just sat down & knew it was all going to be okay.

You will always be the one I want to be in love with at the end of every day.

I traced our names on a fogged up window and watched them fade to nothing, just like we did.
