Why is it so hard to accept things as they are? Why do we struggle and fight against the inevitable? Is it the knowledge that things could be better? Or is it the hope? The hope that if things were different, we would be different. Better. Stronger. Complete.



Don’t be gentle. Love me, but not gently. I need to know that your desperation, your missing, has been as great as mine. I need to feel in the fervor of your touch that you have longed for this as much as I have. I need to feel how you’ve missed me.




You’re so cute, you make me blush. You brought me back to being nine, the rush of emotions overwhelms me, of something exciting, of something tingling, of something on the verge of explosion. There it goes, my heart took a walk, dance upon sunshine, bask in starlight and took a skip. the revive of childlike faith, oh what powers you hold but do not know. You shouldn’t exist but you do, you’re far from my reach but one day you will be within, with every single cell of my body, I hope.




From red to blue and the colors in between, I see so much of you. Like the colors of your eyes and the chance that we might laugh or that our hearts might die. But I feel lies as you are ripping me apart inside. And all I try, I don’t know how I’m going to make this right. I need to get back my sanity from you. And, no, I don’t know how anyone gets away with this quite like you do.

Love is knowing you will spend every day, of every week, of every month, of every season, of every year for the rest of your life with this person, and thinking, “This is exactly what I want”



I still get lost in your eyes, and it seems that I can't live a day without you. Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away, to a place where I am blinded by the light, but it's not right.


I can't help it, I couldn't stop it if I tried. The same old heartbeat fills the emptiness I have inside. And I've heard that you can't fight love, so I won't complain. Why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on?



Bring me your love, tonight. No, I am not where I belong, So shine a light and guide me home.


“No matter how powerful and real your feelings may be for someone, if that person cannot fully and honestly return them and therefore actively love you back, these feelings mean nothing. Being lonely, being alone, for many people, sucks. I get it, I get it, I get it. But still I have to say that yes, my belief is that being with somebody who makes you feel shitty or doesn’t honor the person you are is worse. Life is hard enough as it is without choosing someone difficult to share it with.You deserve to be with someone who is nice to you all the time.”



I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow. I watched the stars crash in the sea. If I could ask God just one question.. why aren't you here with me tonight? Someday we'll know, if love can move a mountain. Someday we'll know, why the sky is blue. Someday we'll know, why I wasn't meant for you.


Can I see you? Just once more, please? Everything feels so out of place, out of step without you. If I could hide inside your arms, even for just a moment. I’m missing you.




My new favorite place in all the world is buried in your sheets, tangled up in you. My new favorite word is my own name rolling off your lips at a whisper. And when I’m with you it all just melts away. It’s all okay.




I just wanna be where you are tonight. I run in the dark looking for some light. And how will we know if we just don't try? We won't ever know.

I want to be the kind of girl who leaves an everlasting impression. I don’t want to be the type that you’ll forget in a week. I want to be hard to forget. I want to have the kind of impact on someone where they know they’ll never find anyone else who could ever take my place.



Kiss me like you mean it and let me soak your skin into mine. Let me explore you. These stars are here to bring us closer together. Fall with me; we could wake up anywhere we wanted. Tonight, let us be poets. I will write these verses with my fingers. I will paint these memories with my tongue. And as the sunrise chases all of this back into the shadows, I will pretend that we are just two sailors shipwrecked on the shore. 


Cause loving you is the only thing that ever really touched my soul.




I can’t help it. I can’t help caring. I’m forced. I’m too weak to restrain myself from you. I can’t help looking for you in a crowd. I can’t help thinking of you in the middle of night, day, or anytime at all. I can’t help wishing that you would love me. I can’t help waiting until the moment we talk again. I can’t help wanting to be more than just friends. I can’t help the way I love you..although I wish I could. Sometimes I just wonder why I love you the way I do; but I don’t have a reason. I just simply fell in love with you.




Well, now it's etched in stone that I can't survive alone. You have the missing piece that I need so desperately. Yes, I slip away to a day that'll never come.


After all the broken hearts, I’ve finally figured out the problem. I fall in love a little too late. I guard my heart like some kind of castle. I don’t let them in when they want. I wait until they’re long gone, then I realize they were the one I wanted all along.




Loved you first, when we were children. You broke my heart, all that's forgiven. We lost our chance to love one another. We'll love again but just not each other.





Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.




Ninety miles outside Chicago.. can't stop driving, I don't know why. So many questions, I need an answer. Two years later, you're still on my mind.


Two o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind. Can't get no rest, keep walking around. If I pretend that nothing ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep. I can think that we just carried on.



I know you are doubting yourself at the moment. I know you feel unsure and scared. I wish there was a way to make you understand you’ll get through this. I know you will. I believe in you.


“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.”




A drop in the ocean, a change in the weather. I was praying that you and me might end up together. It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert. But I'm holding you closer than most, cause you are my heaven.




I don’t know where we went and why we grew apart.. but you should know, I miss you.

Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before, I know I'll often stop and think about them in my life, I love you more.



Annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. And she says, "The saddest day I came across was when I learned that life goes on without me, without me, without me." And she says, "If everyone has someone else, then I ain't got nobody's love to save me."


What's the point when all I ever want is you?



Have you ever sat in a crowded room where the mumbling secrets that are none too cool? And that constant buzz of the absent love.. this is so much more then you bargained for.


One day we can complete all the things on our to-do list, like spend an entire day in bed together. One day when a new movies is about to hit the theaters, we can watch it the day it comes out. One day whenever you want to go somewhere, I can go with you if you like. One day when you get invited to a party or something, no worries, I can be your date. One day when you’re feeling hungry, I’ll be able to eat food with you. One day whenever you need me, I’ll be right on my way. One day we can just drive & go anywhere we want to. One day I’ll be able to kiss & hug you without worrying about our time being so limited.

I'll pretend that you mean the weather when you ask me how things are. I'll say cold and dry.




Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.


Finally I have found a place into which I fit perfectly, safely, and securely with no doubts, fears, sadness, or tears. This place is filled with happiness and laughter, yet it is spacious enough to allow me the freedom to move around, to live my life, and to be myself. This wonderful place, which I never believed really existed, I have found finally in your arms, in your heart, in your love.




I hope that you will remember me the way I remember you - as someone wonderful, someone perfect.




In the best, most desirable way, you scare me. But I love the way you scare me but it makes me nervous and then I say or do something really stupid so I spend all this energy coming up with ideas to be smart so that you don’t think I’m stupid and those ideas inherently backfire therefore making me look more stupid. It’s a vicious circle, and I’m at the end of my rope because all I really want to do is kiss you and I feel if I don’t kiss you soon I’m gonna explode.




This is the way that we love, like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life, but not together.



Of all the things I've believed in, I just want to get it over with. Tears form behind my eyes, but I do not cry.. counting the days that pass me by. I've been searching deep down in my soul. Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old. It feels like I'm starting all over again, the last three years were just pretend. And I said, goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything I thought I knew. You were the one I loved, the one thing that I tried to hold on to.



And every heartache makes you stronger, but it won't be much longer. You'll find love, you'll find peace, and the you you're meant to be. I know right now that's not the way you feel, but one day you will.



thanks for the feedback lovelies ♥

By some mischief of fate, we might only fall in love once. You know, that one great love old folks refer to. Many lovers may get into our lives, but there is only one person with that one smile, one kiss, one hug and one moment, that our hearts will never replace. That person, usually but sadly, is the one that got away. That’s why, after all the chips are down, we know, just know, that we’ll never fall in love that way again.



Some days, we'll cuddle together on the couch.. wearing sweats and eating the ice-cream that we both like, watching our favorite movie, making and laughing at the jokes that only we understand.. and I realized that this everyday, simple, no-big-deal moment is my kind of happiness.



I hope like hell you're waiting. Everybody's living like they're crazy in love.. I'm a dizzy mess, and everything is so above me, from the floor of any life I lead today.




I don't care what consequence it brings. I have been a fool for lesser things. I want you so bad. I think you ought to know that I intend to hold you for the longest time.

The thing about love, is I never saw it coming. It kinda crept up and took me by surprise. And now there's a voice inside my heart that’s got me wondering.. is this true? I want to hear it one more time.




Gasping for air and sanity. Moon and stars and clouds and night. Out of breath and breathless. Pillows and sheets and blankets and you. I will drown in this bed. They say it’s just like going to sleep.


Nothing is certain anymore. I don't know what in the world is the right thing to do, and so I'm stuck here in a place I don't want to be. I don't want to sit back and watch you be fine without me. I don't want to cry and carry on like I have been doing for the past week. I just want not to want you anymore. I want to, hell I need to, just move on.




There's people here, but you are gone. And I'm fine, still swimming through time. Afraid some days I've reached the shore. Now my heart is like an open door. And the road finally gave me back, but I don't think I'll unpack, because I'm not sure if I live here anymore.

“When someone is in your heart, they’re never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.”



I think of you, sometimes, when I wonder why we’re all here. I think maybe a part of it is so I can be a little light in your sky and give you hope.. because see, that’s what you are to me.


And you never write me letters. And you never sent my sweaters, so I could stay warm when I was without you. Without you, I don’t sleep. Just dream..

 

I want to remember how you’ve made me laugh and sometimes cry, and I never want to forget how special and different you are and how you’ve touched my heart in a way that no one else could.


Sell me out, I'm yesterday's old news. Phrases left on paper, black ink bleeding through the pages where we made our history. Call me foolish, I feel hopeless




The mind may have forgotten, but the body remembers everything - in the melody of a song, in a rip of a dress, in a taste stuck at the tip of your tongue, in the freckled constellation splattered across your light skin, in a look not mean to be a look, in the movement their hips against yours, in a graze between nervous hands, in the loud beat of your beating heart. In one moment, the body remembers everything so vividly, so wildly, as if it were experiencing it the first time and the last time combined - an explosion of sorts that will never seem to leave with time. These things have become pieces of us, that have found a way to stay forever, as much as we deny it ever happened. But the reality is that it was never a figment - in fact, it was our realest dream somehow brought to life.





Listen. There are times when life calls out for a change. A transition. Like the seasons. Our spring was wonderful, but summer is over now and we missed out on autumn. And now all of a sudden, it’s cold, so cold that everything is freezing over. Our love fell asleep, and the snow took it by surprise. But if you fall asleep in the snow, you don’t feel death coming.

 

I remember the days we spent together were not enough. It used to feel like dreaming, except we always woke up. Never thought not having you here now would hurt so much.




I just want someone to say to me "I'll always be there when you wake"





Go back to the place we knew before, retrace our steps to the basement door. I'll ask you if the rain still makes you smile. Like so much time that we spent in the fall it put color in our cheeks while the air turned cold, preceding what became our bitter end.





There's a piece of you that's here with me. It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see. When I sleep, I dream, and it gets me by. I can make believe that you're here tonight.


Falling into sleep. Wearing your shirt because it smelled so sweet. Who could forget, I always liked that best. Or losing my heart every time you sang to me on your guitar, "Lady in Red". I always liked that best.





It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever. I never knew I could hurt like this, and everyday life rolls on like this. I wish I could talk to you for awhile. I wish I could find a way to try not to cry, as time goes by. The hardest thing to do is say bye.


She's trapped inside her room with reruns on the screen, old books and movies. But she can't stop thinking, I want to be innocent again. She stands a stranger in her skin.





And suddenly I felt completely strange, like the distance between us was much greater than what I could see from where I was standing. Like that line, always so clear to me, had somehow shifted, or had never even been where I’d thought it was at all.





Taking steps back through the words I should've said to you; they all got lost, you went away. Well I feel sick, and you just don't care anymore.


They're all part of the list, things that I miss. Things like your funny little laugh, the way you smile, or the way we kiss.

 


I love no one but you, I have discovered. But you are far away and I am here alone. Then this is my life and maybe, however unlikely, I’ll find my way back there. Or maybe, one day, I’ll settle for second best. And on that same day, hell will freeze over, the sun will burn out and the stars will fall from the sky.


No one falls in love by choice. It’s by chance. No one stays in love by chance. It’s by work. And no one falls out of love by chance. It’s by choice.


 


And when I asked you how you’d been I meant I missed you more than I’ve ever missed anything before.

I remember the time you told me about when you were eight, and all those things you said that night that just couldn't wait. I remember the car you were last seen in, and the games we would play, all the times we spilt our coffees and stayed out way too late. I remember the time you sat and told me about your jesus, and how not to look back even if no one believes us, when it hurts so bad sometimes not having you here..

 

Over fall break you're coming down to see me. I know that the distance doesn't make this easy. But when we come together, it makes such a lovely sound. That's why I'd give anything I have to work this out. And everything I ever did didn't matter up 'till now. You make my life worth while, like you've completed me somehow. And when we come together it makes such a lovely sound. That's why I'd give anything I have to work this out. For the first time in my life, I know that I'm in love. I could write a thousand songs about you, they would never be enough. When we come together, it makes such a lovely sound. That's why I'd give anything I have to work this out.

 

Let's be crazy, how 'bout we just get married? Hey baby baby boy, I've loved you from the day that we met. Don't care what mom says, or if we're ready just yet. Because this don't mean a thing if you're not next to me. You're who I wanna wake up to every morning.

 


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.





I’ve dialed your number, half a thousand times, hoping just to hear your voice on the other line. I never had the courage to finally make that call. I’ve been missing you so much, have you been missing me at all?


The first time you fall in love, it changes your life forever, and no matter how hard you try, the feeling never goes away.





Tiny hands, recycled cans, the metal bands I could not stand. The time you cried and threw your crayons across the floor. These are the things I think about when I’m alone without you. I wonder of your whereabouts and hope like hell you’re happy where you are. You used to say that you’re just fine, but I still wonder all the time.




And I don't understand why I sleep all day, and I start to complain that there's no rain. And all I can do is read a book to stay awake, and it rips my life away, but it's a great escape.





It's so easy to get lost inside. A problem that seems so big at the time, it's like a river that's so wide it swallows you whole. While you siting around thinking about what you can't change and worrying about all the wrong things, time's flying by, moving so fast.





She's sitting in her room again, whispering to twinkling stars in the sky, wondering when they'll come down and spirit her away. She always wishes that she could capture the blue of the sky in her pocket, that feeling she gets when the sun shines through the window and gives everything a golden glow. The way the world seems to melt together when the sun starts to hide away. Shattered hopes on the pavement are mere reflections of her tiny heart. And the gleam of satellites soaring across the sky match the faded glow in her eyes.




You know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you, if I could just hold you, tonight.


When I'm coming over Sunday, and I think about you all the time.. I wonder what you're doing, I wonder why you never cry.. when Boston's always raining, and we never ever seemed alive. I sung about you once now, I guess I might as well. But I won't..





Everything is different now. Why are you so distant now? Everything has changed. Yeah, nothing is the same, Since the day you went away, nothing feels at all okay with me


Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

 


When hurt turns red and a piece of your heart is missing. When the cold bites deep and you’ve got that feeling like you just got out of surgery. When the only way to stay sane is to concentrate on anything else but how you feel. When you count the tiles in the ceiling. When you push the earphones closer. When the first day of winter arrives. When you remember every nuance of every word of every time. When all this happens. Embrace it. Feel every feeling. Cry every tear. Sob every sob. Because this is what it feels like to have loved.





I'm wishing the days could go fast, so I could crash.. close my eyes, try to go to sleep and bring you back, but I can't bring you back. No, I can't bring you back.



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 every second of every minute of everyday 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.




Hey, hey now we're almost home. I'm missing you to death but it's all for the best, I know.



And I'll forget the world that I knew, but I swear I won't forget you. If my voice could reach back through the past, I'd whisper in your ear "oh, darling I wish you were here."


"I was waiting for the longest time," she said, "I thought you forgot." "It's hard to forget," I said, "when there is such an empty space when you are gone."




We met more than two years back
It's frighting how time can go by so fast


"Listen to me: If we are truly meant to be, then we will find our way back to each other. It’s as simple as that."




Yeah, we've had our ups and downs.. but we've always worked them out. Babe, am I ever glad we've got this far now. Still I'm lying here tonight, wishing I was by your side. Cause when I'm not there enough, nothing feels right. So I'm coming back to show you that I'll love you the rest of my life.


It's always times like these when I think of you, and wonder if you're ever thinking of me. Cause everything's so wrong, and I don't belong living in your precious memory.




I know there could never have been another. I knew it then and I know it now.


What’s done is done. What goes on, goes on. The days turn into nights, and so much has changed, yet so much remains. There are some things in life you simply cannot run from nor can you deny. Through trials and tribulations, know what’s genuine and true. Learn, look, and see what is the truth before you. See the love that still proves itself true through the chaos. Feel what’s really there, and has never left. Do not be afraid to be true with yourself. You have to start somewhere.





“I don't really know where I'll go or what I'll do when I'm free. All I know is my life would be empty without you in it.”


Don't forget, we've got unfinished business
Stories yet to unfold, tales that must be retold.





Just a picture perfect day that lasts a whole lifetime. And it never ends because all we have to do is hit rewind. So let's just stay in the moment.. smoke some weed, drink some wine, reminisce, talk some shit; forever young is in your mind. Leave a mark they can't erase, neither space nor time. So when the director yells cut, I'll be fine. I'm forever young.





Love to the tips of your fingers, and when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose - don’t run away from it. But you don’t have to chase after it either. You just be patient, and it’ll come to you.



Somehow everything's gonna fall right into place. If we only had a way to make it all fall faster every day..

I know it's a bit sudden okay, but yesterday was a great day. And I'm sitting on the bus, and I realize that none of my great days in my life matter without you. You're the one I want next to me when my dreams come true. You're the one I want next to me if they don't. As long as I have you, nothing else matters.



A sudden change has brought over the breeze, and I'm cold for the first time in months. Keep me warm with your kiss. Keep me warm with your smile and your presence tonight. Please give me one last chance to prove myself, to prove my heart to you. I'm crying out to be in your arms again.





Never knew I could feel like this, like I've never seen the sky before. Want to vanish inside your kiss. Every day I love you more and more. Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing? Telling me to give you everything. Seasons may change, winter to spring. But I love you until the end of time. Come what may, come what may. I will love you until my dying day.





In the short time we spent together, we had what most people can only dream about, and I’m counting the days until I can see you again. Never forget how much I love you.


We were supposed to wake up one day when we were older, holding on forever. But we flew past each other like windows on a train, the flashing of a frame. I can't hold on but I can't let go. A snapshot in my mind of a love that's stuck in time. I saw it slip away.




I wish you would just show up on my doorstep. Not with anything special, just you. And when I’d open the door, you’d smile. And while I’m trying to figure out what the hell you’re doing here, you’d tell me how hard the past months have been, how much you’ve thought about me, how much you regretted everything. And then you’d take me into your arms and ask me to forgive you, and I would without hesitation. Then you’d grab my face and kiss me the way you used to, and everything would be perfect again.


It's getting hard to breathe, hard to be here alone without you. Every part of me is crying out. Oh, you know I want you. But words are not enough to bring you home.





I'm reminiscing about good times and rewinding all these songs. It feels like just yesterday you were lying in my arms. Listen to my words, I'm just trying to be strong. But I have to face the truth and realize that you're gone.


I guess when you’re young, you just believe there will be many people with whom you’ll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times.





What I'm trying to say isn't really new. It's just the things that happen to me when I'm reminded of you. Like when I hear your name or see a place that you've been, or see a picture of your grin or pass a house that you've been in. It sets of something in me that I can't explain, and I really just can't wait to see you again.



Saying goodbyes are always hard. You hug a little tighter, smell a little deeper, attempt to commit the feel of the person to your memory. You want time to stop, but it can’t and you know it can’t. You know that you have to go on. So you cling on for a moment, and press your lips to their cheek and murmur, I’ll see you when I see you.





Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older, then we wouldn’t have to wait so long. And wouldn’t it be nice to live together, in the kind of world where we belong.


If I could have just one wish, I would wish to wake up everyday to the sound of your breath on my neck, the warmth of your lips on my cheek, the touch of your fingers on my skin, and the feel of your heart beating with mine, knowing that I could never find that feeling with anyone other than you.





There was a time when I could say, it's fine to take this day by day. But knowing all we're meant to be, I find each day is killing me.


It was so right, and you might not see that right now, but I do. And if I have to wait until we're both 80 years old for you to see it, then I'll wait. I'm not going anywhere. This is it for me. You're it for me, and I can't pretend to feel any less than I do, I just can't.





Raindrops keep fallin' on my head. But thank God, cause it’s just hiding the tears from my face. Since you’ve been gone, I’m so out of place. And I need you here.


Sentimental music has this great way of taking you back. Somewhere at the same time it takes you forward, so you feel nostalgic and hopeful all at the same time.





I’m sorry, but I love you so much. I hope I do end up with you, because I just can’t take it anymore. You’re always my mind, night and day. You’re such a distraction for me, even being miles and miles away. My future gets brought up often by everyone. What am I doing? Where am I going? I don’t know. I just know I want to be with you. These people here, they don’t get me. They don’t do it for me, they just don’t. I love you. I always have and I always will. I’ve always known it. I’ve always known that you were the one. And I can’t help myself anymore. I want to be with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I’m sick of feeling so lost, so misunderstood, feeling like I don’t belong. When you’re here, it all goes away. I need you. We can make it together, I know it. I have faith in you, in us. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here. I hope you realize one day that it’s me. Because I’m always going to be here. You’re the one.

If you just realize what I just realized, then we'd be perfect for each other, and we'll never find another. Just realize what I just realized, we'd never have to wonder if we missed out on each other.




I really missed you tonight. I miss talking to you, knowing that you get me. And every time I talk to someone else, it just reminds me of how much they don't.





And I need something to help me sleep, when I know you’re not good for me. And I need something I can keep from the empty space in between.


It was that she truly believed you could be fourteen when you learned how love could change the speed your blood ran through you, how it made you dream in kaleidoscope color. It was that she knew she couldn't have loved him this hard, if he hadn't loved her that way, too.






Well, things have been getting kinda heavy these days. Trying to figure out which road to take. There's many decisions to be made, and the only time I feel okay is when I'm in your arms. You've got me missing you all day long. From the second I wake up to the second my day is done. With every breath that I take in, well I'll swear on every inch of my lungs, I'm with you.


So I'll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
It might be my only right




So there goes my life, passing by with every exit sign. It's been so long, sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong. No sleep tonight, I'll keep on driving these dark highway lines. And as the moon fades.. one more night gone, only twenty more days. But I will see you again. I will see you again. A long time from now.



I wake up and think dreams are real. I sleep so I don't have to feel the truth, that you can't ever be the one person that won't ever forget me. Let me sleep some more.


When you have to leave someone you love, someone who makes you feel so entirely and extra complete, it’s as if all the emotional and metaphysical connection becomes all too visceral, and you suddenly have to pull yourselves apart from where you were linked, gut to gut. You bleed into your own hands and know that it’s temporary, that the connection that grew from afar will grow in place again before the next time you see each other, but it’s hard to think of anything besides the distance for the moment.





'All you need is love' is a lie
cause we had a love, but we still said goodbye


I miss the simplicity of just being without trying, while everyone else was striving to be someone. I miss being accepted for who I am with you. I miss how it was natural to hold your hand. How we could feel each other smiling between kisses. How even when I asked for space, you knew enough to never leave. Now that you're gone, I seem to have more space than I know what to do with.





When I sleep, I dream of you. And when I wake, I long to hold you in my arms. If anything, our time apart has only made me more certain that I want to spend my nights by your side, and my days with your heart.





I feel the rhythm in your body
and I know you felt it too
I feel it when you're near me
How could I ever forget you


Look to the past and remember and smile. And maybe tonight I can breathe for awhile. I'm not in the scene, I think I'm falling asleep. But then all that it means is I'll always be dreaming of you.





Most people talk when they have nothing to say. I'm not talking because I have too much to say. None of which I'd want you to hear.


I can't go places, I always see traces of the only thing in life I'll ever need. If I could do all the things I only dream that I could do, I'd still be the girl in love with you.





You've changed so much. I guess that's what happens. I wish you knew how much you've changed me. I wonder if I've changed you, if your life is different because of me.. because mine's different. My God, you taught me so much, and now we don't even talk to each other. I guess that's what happens.




When you love someone, it will always stay there. I have to believe that. Even though we go our separate ways, we still will be connected by this bond, forever. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I know it's a true thing. I know that no matter where you go or who it's with, we will always be connected. And when we look up at the stars, we'll know it was real and it was why we're who we are.




I can sleep forever these days, cause in my dreams I see you again.


You're the brightest star in a pocketful of skies. My colored picture in a world of black and white, my only dream come true in a restless winter night. My dream come true.





I’m just gonna keep my eyes closed. Because this is like that moment in the morning when you first wake up, and you’re still half asleep and everything seems… things are possible, dreams feel true and for that one moment between waking and dreaming anything can be real… and then you open your eyes and the sun hits you and realize - I’m just gonna keep my eyes closed.

 


If you're calling about my heart, it's still yours. I should have listened to it a little more. Then it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I belong.


Sometimes I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry to move forward. There comes a point when it becomes impossible to go back.





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 me and you.





I keep thinking of how much I love talking to you, how good you look when you smile, how much I love your laugh. I day dream about you off and on, replaying our conversations, laughing at funny things you said or did. I’ve memorized your face and the way that you look at me. I catch myself smiling again at what I imagined. I wonder what will happen the next time we’re together. And even though neither of us know what the future holds, I know one thing for sure, you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.



Woke up and wished that I was dead. With an aching in my head, I lay motionless in bed. I thought of you and where you'd gone, and let the world spin madly on.





Most of our lives are a series of images, they pass us by like towns on a highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens, and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.




There are times you can't control your happiness, can't conceal the smile glued to your face. When you haven't seen him for months, when it's been so long, too long. It's the day he comes back, the day you finally see his face after all this time spent alone. It's being in his arms once again, after having no one to hold for so long.


And even the places that he's never been with you seem awful empty without him.





Now I don't know what to be without you around. And we know it's never simple, never easy. Never a clean break, no one here to save me. You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand. And I can't breathe without you, but I have to.



I suck with words, but sometimes words aren't the thing. Love isn't about words, it's about what you do. And what I did, running away, it was stupid. We both know love is a big, scary, evil concept. But if you feel it, it's going to follow you around like a hungry dog. I didn't mean to say that love is a dog. I just mean I'm not going anywhere. I love you. If love beats us up, let's just beat it up right back. We can do this. If you're ready to make the jump, I'll be right there to catch you.





My smile's an open wound without you, and my hands are tied to pages inked to bring you back. Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say. Tonight I'm writing you a million miles away.


Time went by, time flew and everything seemed so easy, so simple, so free, so new, so unique. We went to the movies, we went dancing, we went shopping, we laughed, you cried, we swam, we smoked, we shaved, sometimes for no reason, or for a reason. Yes, sometimes for a reason. I brought you to the academy, I studied for my exams, I listened to your singing, to your hopes, your desires, your music. You listened to mine. We were close, so close, ever so close. We went to the movies, we swam, we laughed. You screamed, sometimes for a reason and sometimes without. Time went by, time flew.





Can't get your memory off my mind,
just want your heartbeat on top of mind
There's something dancing here in the shadows,
and I wish it were us.





I just want him to text me, or call. Or better still, talk to me. I don't want to keep waiting. No matter how many times I tell myself to stop waiting, I still do it.


Do you know you're unlike any other? You'll always be my thunder. And I said, your eyes are the brightest of all the colors. I don't wanna ever love another.





I'll hold a place for you inside, inside my heart for you, and I, I won't forget these tears I cry, with every year that passes by.


When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same. I look at people in love, and some how I feel safer. I don’t know if I can explain that, but they give me hope. And I’m afraid to say it out loud because maybe if life finds out, it’ll try to beat it out of them and that would be a shame. Because, we can all use a little hope sometimes, you know. That feeling that everything’s gonna be okay, and that there’s going to be someone there to help make sure of that.





Let's take our time, let the moment last until it feels right. Holding back, and not getting too carried away. Let the music fade. Cause you are the brightest star, and I'm in love with who you are. And you are the brightest star, and I'm lost without your love.





Don't fight the things I know you want to say to me.
So please, don't make it harder than it has to be.


I can't stand it for another day when you live so many miles away. Nothing here is gonna make me stay. You took me over, let me find a way. I sold my house. I sold my motor, too. All I want is to be next to you. I'd rob a bank, maybe steal a plane. You took me over, think I'm going insane. What can I do? All I want is to be next to you.





I'm so tired of the road baby, driving through the snow. And just maybe you'll sit back, think about the times when we said those words and we looked into each others eyes.



I should've held an after party for all the thoughts I didn't say.





In the air I flew. Through the clouds I fall. And all the things I’ve tried to say were never easy to explain. They were always meant for you , and all the memories that were made for years and years, I’ve chased this day. They were always for you, always for you.



So much has changed. I loved someone a lot, and one day I woke up and I realized what moving on really is. There's such a big difference between getting over something and getting through it. I got through with it all, but if he came up to me and told me that he sincerely loved me, I wouldn't resist that. It's funny how things work out right? You think you'll be best friends with someone forever, and one day you're just not anymore. All I know for sure is that when you love someone, I mean truly love someone, whether it's a friend or boyfriend or girlfriend whatever, you never stop loving them. Think about it. I've moved on, yes. But a part of me will always belong to him, I will always have that part of me that loves him.






I've been waiting for the longest time. I want you to come back. Maybe if the sun would shine, it'd bring my happy back in the dark. So tired of waking up and it's dark. So tired of being stuck on my own here.





I know all your favorite songs, and you tell me about your dreams. I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.



I thought about life, about how we feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears. But we don't let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don't say anything because we're frozen with fear of what those words might do.





When I see you.. the world, it stops, and all that exists for me is you and my eyes staring at you. There's nothing else. No noise, no other people, no thoughts or worries, no yesterday, no tomorrow. The world just stops, and it's a beautiful place and there's only you. Just you, and my eyes staring at you. When you're gone, the world starts again and I don't like it as much. I can live in it, but I don't like it. I just walk around in it, and wait to see you again, and wait for it to stop again. I love it when it stops. It's the best thing I've ever known or ever felt. The best thing, and that is why I stare at you.





I'm looking at you through the glass, don't know how much time has passed. All I know is that it feels like forever. But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head.





Some people want it all, but I don't want nothing at all, if it ain't you. Some people want diamond rings, some just want everything. But everything means nothing, if I ain't got you.


I still believe my feelings
but sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you're close to me
but it ain't close enough
not nearly close enough





It's like a private joke, just meant for us to know. I relate to you naturally, everybody else just fades away.





I have questions for you that I never got the chance to ask.. Do you look like you did back then? Would it make a difference anyway? Do you think of me, when you least expect it - when you're unwrapping a garden hose, or tilting your face to the shower, or making love to someone else? And can you leave it at that, or do you find yourself compulsively sifting through the memories? If I had been the one to leave, would you have written out your heart to me?


I want to be the wind that fills your sails, be the hand that lifts your veil, be the moon that moves your tide, the sun coming up in your eyes, be the wheel that never rusts, be the spark that lights you up, be everything you've been dreaming of and more, so much more, I want to be your everything





And what we got is something special, and what we are is a perfect match. And 3,000 miles can never come between us. No matter what we do, it's always you and me, and it's always me and you.





Do you miss him at the most happy and fulfilling times of your life? Just because you miss him when the world is quiet and you feel alone, doesn't mean you love him. You will miss anyone when you're lonely. It's when your life is going great and you still feel that ache in your heart because he isn't there to see the genuine smile on your face and happiness in your life.



The fight for you is all I've ever known, so come home





If I could tell you one thing, then I'd tell you everything. Probably say that you've been on my mind since we held hands out in the rain, smoking cigarettes to play off all the butterflies I had inside. And now I think that you should know, that you've got everything that I've wanted for so damn long.


I lay there upon my blankets, and in the still of the darkness, I picture you and wonder where you are, what you're doing right now, and wishing whatever it is, I could be a part of it. And in a matter of seconds, just as quickly as the thought came, the silence breaks as I begin to cry.

 


People who are meant to be together always find each other in the end ..right?


And I wonder, are you ever coming back in my life? Cause here I am, so alone. And there's nothing in this world I can do, until you're back here baby.





If parted by a river that was running deep and wide, I'd build a boat to get to you or else I'd drink it dry. Could fill it up right now as the tears fall from my eyes. And you are gone, gone, gone.


You wrapped your arms around me, pressing your body against mine. And in that moment of perfection, I knew we were meant to be. I never wanted you to let go of me.





If I could give everyone one piece of love advice, it would be once you find the one you’ve spent your whole lifetime searching for, don’t give them up without a fight. Never let them just walk right out of your life. Whatever you do, don’t ever let them go. Hold onto them with all that you’ve got, because you have no guarantee that they’ll be back. So, don’t make the mistake I have made. Don’t just watch them leave. It could be the last you ever see them. Don’t look back on it and regret not saying the words you needed to say, or doing the things you needed to do. Because that feeling of regret will never leave you.


You have changed so much that I don't know if I can call you and tell you I care





And it's been ten days without you in my reach, and the only time I've touched you is in my sleep. But time has changed nothing at all. You're still the only one that feels like home.


But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do. And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go, if I knew that someday it would lead me back to you.





I want to wake up in your room, in your bed. I want to wake up to that view in your window, the one that overlooks everything below. I want to wake up in your arms, my skin pressed against yours. I want to shower in your bathroom and wash my face in your sink. I want to make you coffee and have toast with you. I want to read the morning paper with you and drive to work with you. I want to have our photo in a frame at the corner of my desk. I want to come home from work to you. I want to hold you and feel you and love you properly. I want to make dinner with you. I want to do the dishes and sort the laundry with you. I want to get ready for bed with you. I want to fall asleep in your arms, and wake up to you and do everything all over again. I want to be with you.

I miss you, I do. I love you. Everyday I wake up and have this ache in my chest. And sometimes, I just sleep in because I know when I wake up, you’re not gonna be there.





this pretty much sums up how I've felt for the past two years you've been gone. you probably won't ever see this, or know it's me.. but this is for you, every quote speaking right from my heart. lately, it's been harder than ever. don't know why, but this helps me through it I guess.. I miss you and love you so terribly much. you have no idea.

I'm not sure you understand what this means to me, what you do to me. I'm willing to prove that you're the one. I regret to slip away. Now I know it was only you that I've been searching for, been missing all this time.



And this old highway seems to understand, leading me on to somewhere that no one knows my name. I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up, I'm doing all that I can to forget.


Did I ever tell you that I really love you, and I think about you all day? That I really miss you and wish I could kiss you. But why are you so far away? Since you've been gone, I've thought over and over about you inside my head and where I went wrong. Everyday I've been thinking a lot about all of the things you'd say since I went away. I guess I could call you and ask you "How are you?", but I really don't have much to say. So I sit all alone and I stare at the phone, and I hope that you're doing okay.





Take these misunderstandings, and send them back where they came from. Take these misunderstandings, it's hard enough to live life as it is.


And every morning that I wake, I make a point to check the date, in case I slept an extra day. I’ve crossed so many numbers out, but every time I count them there are so much more.




Driving slowly, watching the headlights in the rain. Funny how things change. Think of the good times. Wishing you were still with me. The way it used to be.





All we have left to do now is lay in our beds by ourselves every night. When we were laid right by the beach, the sand on our skin, the hair in your face, the salt on our lips when we kissed. And now I can't forget all of the little things we said with confidence. I was mistold that every good thing we have must come to a bitter end.





"I'm the sort of person that's always dwelling on the destination rather than the journey. Even when I'm in a great situation there's always this moving thought that it all is going to have to end."


Come on love, run with me.. get the hell out of this town, so we can get a better feel for each other. I'll take you back to when you remembered how you used to.. just live your life a little for me. Take the time to let it go. Step away and watch me grow. So, let's get a little closer now. Let's get a little closer now.





Things are so crazy lately, I feel unattached to all my feelings.
And the sad part is, I'm starting to think it's a good thing.





I had the most wonderful feeling once. It's the feeling I just keep trying to find in all the wrong people, just to feel it again. The feeling I've felt for one person, the only time it was real, where I didn't have to try. I want it back.


But it doesn't feel right holding someone else's hand. Together on phone lines and living at two opposite ends. But it scares me to think that you could find takers other than me and better than me.





There's still a little bit of your song in my ear. There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear. You step a little closer to me, so close that I can't see what's going on.





When I saw the break of day, I wished that I could fly away. instead of kneeling in the sand, catching teardrops in my hand. My heart is drenched in wine but you'll be on my mind forever.


I wish that my head was my own notebook. I wish every single one of my thoughts were written down. Okay, it doesn't have to be a notebook. It can be an air sick bag for all I care. I am this person inside my head I could only dream to be. She's so open, so alive, she's so thoughtful and she is brilliant. She dreams of things I cant imagine on seeing. She sees colors, not words or people. She sees rainbows of colors. She is life. She breathes flowers and exhales master pieces of art. She excels in education, music, and art. She is the person I can only be in my head. I'll keep her there. She's safe there. She hasn't been hurt, she hasn't seen pain. In my eyes, there's still hope for her. I bet her heart is full of love and compassion. The kind of compassion that's been torn from my eyes, my heart, and my finger tips. Her lips are untouched and so soft. I could only imagine what she is capable of. I'd probably hate her if she was real. I'd probably find some reason to hate her. And I'd probably tear her, from limb to limb. I'd make her cry, just to watch her mascara run. But, I bet even then, make up smeared, eyes red and puffy, I bet even then she's still beautiful.




I used to be such a burning example, I used to be so original. I used to care, I was being cared for. Made sure I showed it to those that I love. I used to sleep without a single stir


I miss the sound of your voice. The silence seems so loud. Cause there's no one else since I found you. I know it's been so hard, you should know.





My arms reach out for you. Why cant you take them? My heart burns only for you. Can you extinguish it? I love only to be loved by you. Why cant you love me too? I long only to be held and cared for. Why can't it be? Am I to die alone and bitter? What the hell is wrong with me? I no longer wish to love anything. Just cut the heart right out of me. Sometimes I choke on all the false love.






I thought you said that you'd come find me
I thought you said you'd be home by now
I heard you say that you'd come back here
So I wrote to remind you somehow





Throats raw from screaming and I haven't said a word
If your stomach feels weak then I suppose my work here is done


You can stay if you want to, and I'd write to you and tell you how you've always been so special to me. You can stay if you want to, and I'll try to keep you close to me.





I still believe someday you and me will find ourselves in love again. If there's one spark of hope left in my grasp, I'll be holding it with both hands. It's worth the risk of burning to have a second chance.





So I`ll hold you tonight like I would if you were mine to hold forever more. And I'll savor each touch that I wanted so much to feel before. How beautiful it is just to be like this. I wanna be with you.


He's simple yet confusing. His sparkling eyes make me weak at my words, they tremble. Days seem like years in this month of December. The winter coldens me for I have yet to sleep. And never will I give up trying cause you're everything to me.





I don't wanna sing if you're not listening
I don't wanna go anywhere that you don't follow





Love is a funny thing. You expect it to be easy. You expect it to be a world of roses and laughs and perfect moments that you find only in movies. You expect him to always say the right thing, and always know exactly how you feel, or exactly how to react to it. You expect him to calm you down when you're yelling or to chase you when you run away. You expect so much that you feel entirely, and utterly defeated when something doesn't exactly match up with all your plans. But that's the thing, love isn't a plan. It doesn't have a certain beginning and it certainly has no end or visible finish line to those deeply in it. Love happens, and it is so incredibly messy.


 


No sense in looking forward when I can still see you in everything.


I bet you've had a hard time walking into a room full of people on your own, right? Yeah, I know that. I know what it is not to feel like you're in the room until he looks at you or touches your hand or even makes a joke at your expense.




I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard




Every day seems the same to me. I sit around and think about how alone I feel, then I wind up rather enjoying loneliness because it's the comfort of being sad. Sometimes it feels so right, and sometimes I'd like to be around no one for ten straight years. But I know this feeling can't bring me places, and I know I'm losing lots of ground, but to keep up means to get up and why does it have to be the world keeps on changing while I just stay the same? I feel like being down doesn't mean enough to anyone anymore, and I guess the world has made emotion obsolete. And I don't think I feel the same cause after all, who says what happy really means?





Alright, that's it, I've had enough. I'm on my way to you. It's nauseating and I’m sick of waiting for all these pointless calls to go through.





I'm here again, a thousand miles away from you. A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am. I tried so hard, thought I could do this on my own. I've lost so much along the way


We were so charming, but the future was alarming. So on those days home in your car we jerked the steering wheel to the median, joking that we'd end our lives. But we weren't joking all the time.





Sunny days seem to hurt the most. I wear the pain like a heavy coat. I feel you everywhere I go. I see your smile, I see your face, I hear you laughing in the rain. I still can't believe you're gone.





And you brighten up the world with your eyes, and you're so damn lovely when you're on my mind.


And, I feel like I'm standing in the center of a snow globe that some seven year old kid will not stop shaking. I feel like everything around me is going 105 miles an hour, and I'm just stuck standing in the middle of traffic.





I’m trying, I need more time. You’ve gone, I’m just sitting here. You didn’t say anything at all. I’ve got a thousand words for not missing you. Don’t worry, I’m not going to call. I tell myself I’ll forget you. Oh, trust me. I will.





The hardest words to say are the words that mean the most, so I'll bite my tongue until it bleeds and I doubt you'll even know.


So, think about this; we all swallowed micro-sized microphones and they landed right next to our heart. We could keep the speakers in our pockets with the volume all of the way up. Everywhere we went, we grew accustomed to the sound of heartbeats instead of music, cars driving, cars honking, people talking, and put everything on hold. Got to know someone by their heartbeat. When you found someone with the same beat of your heart, and their beat synchronized with yours, that was your true love.





I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
how wonderful life is while you're in the world





Too often we sit back and take what life gives us. Like holding a bad hand of cards, always folding instead of raising the stakes. Never wanna bluff and go for it, afraid that you'll lose all you've got. But you can't win big if you don't bet big.


I've had a million chances to tell you everything.
So, is it smart, to be avoiding you like this?
Cause I don't want to fall in love again.





I wonder when, when I'll finally understand. Why time can wash away love like it was made of sand. And it's wonderful the pain that comes with regret. Sometimes you have to see the beauty in all of this loneliness. The streetlights flicker, and they fade, like every good intention that I've had.





And when I wake up I realize that everything's still wrong
I'm still here and you're still gone
It's not fair





That night we talked, we talked about life, about our times together. Maybe we aren't the same two kids we once were, but some things never change. Some things last, and even though I didn't know what was going to happen to us or where we were going, I just knew I couldn't let you out of my life.


It seems there's always something right there to remind me, like a silly joke or something on the TV. It ain't easy. When I hear our song, I get that same old feeling.





I've tried so hard to forget those past years.
And I hate that I can't see your face, or find the words to say.


Just hear this, and then I'll go..
You gave me more to live for,
more than you'll ever know.





And if all else fails, you can look up at the sky, because it's the same one that shines above you and I. And if all else fails, you can close your eyes and I’ll be right beside you, I’ll be the one by your side.



thank you for all the lovely feedback I've been getting♥

Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away.. and all the things I want to say can find no voice. Then, in silence, I can only hope my eyes will speak my heart.



These few days I have decided to be lazy. They don't move or seem to end at all. And my heart, it is close enough to breaking that it hurts just listening to your songs.


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.



The speaker in this door is blown, so nothing sounds quite right. Taking my time taking this drive; waving this town goodbye. And I drive this ocean road and remember the small of your back, nape of your neck. I remember everything.


He's my kind of rain, like love from a drunken sky, confetti falling down all night. He's my kind of rain, he's the sunset's shadow, he's like rembrandt's light, he's the history that's made at night, he's my lost companion, he's my dreaming tree, together in this brief eternity. Summer days, winter snow.. he's all things to behold.




Remind me again just what you were saying when you walked in the room when the music was playing. When I was lost too, but in my own thoughts. And I could not find you. Tell me your story, I'm listening this time. I can get us some glasses and a bottle of wine. We can sit on the carpet, sit on the table, or sit on the moon. You can reach for my hand. You can say what you like.





You know that feeling? That feeling when you just want the right thing to fall into the right place, not only because it’s right, but because it will mean that such a thing is still possible? I want to believe that.


You're still here in my heart, not just an occasional thought in my head.





Raw love, like raw heartache, could blindside you. It could make you forget what you did not know to focus exclusively on those few pieces you could commit to heart.





Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world.. and that nobody loves them now, and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.


I will sleep another day. I don't really need to anyway. What's the point when my dreams are infected with words you used to say? I will breathe in a moment, as long as I keep my distance. I wouldn't want to go messing anything up.





If you hear a song that makes you cry and you don’t want to cry anymore, you don’t listen to that song anymore. But you can’t get away from yourself. You can’t decide not to see yourself anymore. You can’t decide to turn off the noise in your head.





I remember that time that you told me, you said love is touching souls. Surely you touched mine, cause part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time.


I am the sky and you are the sea
You are the one who colors me




Everyone had a forever, but given a choice, this would be mine. The one that began in this moment, in a kiss that took my breath away, then gave it back - leaving me astounded, amazed, and most of all, alive.


All I ever wanted was for us to have a home and grow old together, but life never asked me what I wanted.






All the books you started reading, all the boys you started seeing, every half completed sentiment that you always meant to say, get stuck inside a memory, like a miracle unfinished and you only feel like going back to where there's no place to stay.


It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.





I had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes to a whole new world that had since been in disguise. But that day will most likely never come for me. And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck to everything you are.


People come into your life and people go. But it’s comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.





But do you miss me? Do you miss our talks? Do you miss our touching and our midnight walks? Do you miss the ocean? Do you miss the sand? Do you miss me at all?


A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind


No one else will know these lonely dreams. No one else will know that part of me.





And the song ends here, cause you're really not near. We haven't said a word in over a year. It just gives me hope, like music gives you rope to hold you right here.


The great thing about music is that it can just take you away. We all know that feeling when we hear a song that instantly catches our attention.. whether it was because the lyrics being sung were the same as thoughts in our head, or the rhythm was enough to just keep us there.. the feeling is wonderful. Music brings us all together. We’re all singing that chorus, knowing we’re not alone. Music can take us back. It can give us hope. Why does music make us feel so invincible? Because there’s no better escape from life.. we know it.

The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says, but rather to what he does not say.


"You’ve got to follow your passion. You’ve got to figure out what it is you love - who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams."





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


I miss you even more than I could have believed. And I was prepared to miss you a good deal. So this letter is just really a sequel of pain. It is incredible how essential to me you have become.





Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.





Wherever I may run, even if it's dumb
I love only you, you are the only one


Now you're here and everything changes. Suddenly life means so much. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and find out this promise is true. I would never have to go back to the day before you.





I watch you from a distance. I remember all of those instances.. when you smile, when you laugh, when you crash, when I'm there to catch you when you fall. And I miss you, and I wish you were here. I stopped breathing when you said you don't care anymore. Tell me that you're doing fine. I still remember every time. And everyone I know will say, that you are always a part of me. And I miss you like you never knew.





So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures, and over-analyze your words. But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard. It's taking everything in me just to forget your sweater so far. And I can honestly say that I never, ever felt this way.


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





We do not do what we want, and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact. Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live.


How fast can you have your bags packed? I'm ready to blow this town. Cause this feeling is getting too hard to explain. And when it seems like months that you and I have been away from each others arms, it's only been days. And I count down seconds til these plane rides will save me from a feeling I feel that's certainly made me. Oh, you know it's certainly made me too upset to describe how when I close my eyes, you're sitting right beside me on this bed here tonight.





I'll find repose in new ways, though I haven't slept in two days, cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone. But drenched in Vanilla twilight, I'll sit on the front porch all night, waist deep in thought. Because when I think of you, I don't feel so alone.


Oh my God, this hurts like hell. And how am I supposed to tell myself that if I keep singing my way through this that one day I'll be fine? One day, I'll be fine. One good thing about the road is that it opens up your eyes. It will make you miss your home and everything that flies in your heart will be as clear as all of heaven's days. Cause I believe that you're not gone. You're right here.





And it won't matter now whatever happens to me. Though the air speaks of all we'll never be, it won't trouble me.


And maybe it's true, I'm falling on you. Maybe there's a chance that you're stuck on me too. So maybe I'm wrong, it's all in my head. Maybe we're afraid of words we both haven't said.





So I stopped watching, I stopped caring. I lost all interest, and I stopped wearing these plastic smiles. I'll wash my hands clean. I'll forget that you forgot about me. And I'll live the life, the big city feeling, cause it's better than suburban dreaming. Living off the friends that hate you, who talk shit on me. Like I don't know who my real friends are anymore. No, I don't know you anymore.


The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.





The Velveteen Rabbit was about how little kids get one toy that they love more than all the others, and even when its fur has been rubbed off, and it’s gone saggy with bits missing, the little child still thinks it’s the most beautiful toy in the world, and can’t bear to be parted from it. That’s how it works, when people really love each other.


I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.


 


We could go to the cinema, big effects and big name stars. We could go to that private view, but, darling, these days, my favorite view is you. Let's just bend the invitation, leave our bikes down at the station, and lose all sense of direction. I'm going to get lost with you.


But I should have known this right from the start.. only hope can keep me together. Love can mend you life, but love can break your heart.





There's always going to be an occasional night when you break down and cry, because you know things will never be the same.
