and if you really need him, fate won’t let you lose him. fate will bring him back. it may not be soon, but he’ll come back.

even after all this time,
the sun never says to the earth,
"you owe me."
look what happens
with a love like that;
it lights the whole sky. 

we are born with these funny notions inside of us,
and one of those notions tells us that we are supposed
to hide the way we feel about each other.
everyone wants to know if they are loved, cared for, or needed,
and anyone who doesn't has something wrong with them.

while art might be the melody society hums to itself,
artists are the bass notes. you only notice them
when they're gone

maybe your first love is the one that sticks with you
because it's the only person who will always receive all of you.
after that, you learn better. but most of all, no matter what,
a piece of you forever remains left behind in the heart of the one you loved -
a piece no future lover could ever get. that piece holds innocence,
the belief that love really can last forever. it holds both friendship and pain,
trial and error, that one kiss you'll never get back. it holds youth
and everything you thought love would be. everything that was proven wrong.

you are in some songs that still get played on the radio
when the DJ is feeling nostalgic. you are in a book
you once lent me (never returned) with yellowed pages.
you are in trees when i touch them, even ones without
names carved into them. you are in the way someone on the street
laughs as i pass them. you are in a box i keep filled with letters.
you are in a ring i no longer wear. and every day,
you each get a moment to haunt me.

every day, i'm gonna get up and live.
i'm going to breathe, laugh, and even smile.
and maybe one day, i'll have a reason to

Reading all this, one person comes to mind. It may change from time to time. Or it may have been the same for a while now. Every quote, every love song reminds you of him. Stop fooling yourself. You love that boy.

i wish i knew how
to quit you.
-- Brokeback Mountain 

the heart is the only part of the body
that can say yes when your tongue says no,
and say no when your tongue says yes. 

I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn't deserve it.
Because they are all you have. Because any attention
is better than no attention. For exactly the same reason,
it sometimes satisfying to cut yourself and bleed.
On those grey days where eight in the morning looks no different from noon
and nothing has happened and nothing is going to happen
and you are washing a glass in the sink and it breaks -
accidentally - and punctures your skin. And then there is this shocking red,
the brightest thing in the day, so vibrant it buzzes, this blood of yours.
That is okay sometimes because at least you know you're alive.
-- Running with Scissors

'Trying to see eye to eye, but it's like we're both blind

There are certain things in life that are better off unknown;

things you wish you never asked, never saw, never heard,

or never even felt

 

I want a person who comes into my life by accident,

and stays on purpose.

 

Take the risk, forget the fall,
If it's what you want. Its worth it all

 

She's banged up. mentally and emotionally.
literally and metaphorically. but every day
she walks outside with a smile on her face.
because that’s who she is.

 

write for those women who do not speak,
for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified,
because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves.
we've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't.
-- Audre Lorde

 

It's funny how no matter how different our stories or

situations are, we all can relate to quotes and each other

 

 

 

 

 

You can't waste time over missing something in the past.

Life changes, people grow up and grow apart, and you accept that.

Yet you still can't stop thinking of how good it used to be;

afraid you'd never experience it again, afraid you've already 

lived it and already lost it

 

And I'm leaning on the fence between past and present tense. And I'm losing all those stupid games I swore I'd never play.

 

For the first time in a week, I have not thought of you, I haven't wanted to talk to you anymore. It's because I am finally letting go of you. I know you can't go a day without talking to me. In then end, I know I'll be okay without you

 

As I held that door knob in my hand all I could think about was how much I didn't want to turn it and walk out of his door forever, but that's exactly what I did.

 

 

You're my first real thought of the day,

you're the last thing on my mind when I go to bed.

Everything in between is meaningless without you.

Tell me how I'm supposed to live this way?

 

It's usually the small things that count. like when
you stare at me from across the room. those
things make me live a little bit more.

 

I've run from these feelings for so long
Telling my heart I didn't need you
Pretending I was better off alone
But I know that it's just a lie
So afraid to take a chance again
So afraid of what I'd feel inside

 

A stolen glance is probably the oldest trick known,
yet definitely the most obvious sign of hidden admiration.

 

And she said baby don't worry about it, it's happened many times. You're just like all the other

 

I found a new best friend in hatred, that says it's too damn late to save this. You're so good at making bad decisions, but even better at burning bridges.

 

When I fell to the floor tonight, I was so scared,

I was so terrified. Then I saw you, and I promised

myself that if I could just get up, I'd walk over to you,

I'd tell you how much I need you and how much I

want you, and how nothing else matters.

+ Nathan Scott

 

As happens sometimes a moment settled

and hovered and remained for much more

than a moment. And sound stopped and

movement stopped for much, much more

than a moment. And then the moment was gone. 

+ Lucas Scott

 

Here's my philosophy on dating. It's important to have

somebody that can make you laugh, somebody you can trust,

somebody that, y'know, turns you on... And it's really, really

important that these three people don't know each other. 

+ Brooke Davis

 

 

 

 

" Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze us,
they're supposed to help us discover who we are."
-- Bernice Johnson Reagon --

People never learn anything by being told,
they have to find out for themselves.

A smile never goes out of style.
Wear yours every day.

Yeah, I do talk to other guys. I laugh with other guys, and I hug other guys. But don't you doubt for a second that any of them mean as much to me as you do.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

Sometimes the feelings we start to have again are feelings that never really went away in the first place.

"Never compare yourself to another woman (or get threatened). If you pretend not to notice her, he’ll see your confidence in yourself and then he’ll be intrigued with you. Suddenly she won’t look so good. She only has as much power as you give her."

The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget

The truth is I gave my heart away a long time ago, my whole heart, and I never really got it back.

I get the best feeling in the world
when you say hi or smile at me because
I know for a split second I crossed your mind.

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”
- Bob Marley

You got the whole world in the palm of your hand, but it doesn't mean a thing if you're not next to her

You know what hurts? You believed in his words, when he himself didn't.

 If you find somebody you can love, you can't let that get away. 

And then there's that one moment..the moment when you've

figured out just how much you've really let go, how much you've

grown. it takes you back a step & it makes you think. it's that

moment when you can't look back yet you can't seem to look too

far into the future. it's the moment you realize you're living for

yourself & no one else. never let go of that moment.

 

For once, I wish something between us would just
happen, good or bad. I wish you had something
to tell me; if I should keep holding on or just
let go.

People want to hear songs with the

words they're afraid to say.

 

Sometimes you might find what you are looking

for in the person you thought you never would.

 

You owe it to the people who hate you, who disrespect you & who put you down because  they are the ones who have made you who you are today;
for keeping your head up and not  breaking down when they want you to.

I don't care how far you are from me, or how long
it's been since we've talked. I don't care how mad
I got at you, or how mad you've been at me.
You're still what matters most to me, and I'm
never going to give that up.

There are some things that I'll never understand. I'll never understand the goosebumps I get when first stepping into hot water. I'll never understand the dreams I have with strangers in them, people I've never met or seen. I'll never understand how a person can keep going back to the ones who hurt them. But what I do understand is that once we do understand everything, the world loses its shine. Curiosity killed the cat, but the cat had nine lives

you gotta fight your bad days to deserve your best days

I'm down on my knees and I'll ask you to dance. Hold my hand and just take a chance. And this could be our parking lot romance. I'll jump in the car and I just can't wait. This is the best, yes, the best first date, I've ever had.

Maybe I will never be all the things that I'd like to be. Now is not the time to cry, now's the time to find out why. I think you're the same as me, we see things they'll never see; You and I are gonna live forever..

when somebody hurts you they take power over you, if you don't forgive them then they keep the power.
forgive him, baby, and after you forgive him, forgive yourself.

you know what i think we are most afraid of? not knowing. not knowing whether it's all really worth it. not knowing if you should give up or keep fighting. not knowing why you do the things you do; not knowing the purpose. it's like when you're little and you touch the stove and get burned, because you didn't really know that it was hot. not knowing has always hurt us, from the very beginning.

There's something in us called the subconscious that we're completely unaware of. It practically dominates our lives, and we don't even know it.

Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you've ever imagined. And even when truth is more cruel than any lie

We close our eyes when we kiss, dream, and cry because our bodies know true beauty isn't seen. Only felt.

Not even your parents know you well enough to
know how well you hide. They won't see the pain
you're in. You hide it so well behind your pretty
face. No one can ever tell how much you're feeling
out of place

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

because we all can use a little hope sometimes, you know?
that feeling that everything is gonna be okay, and that there's gonna be someone there to help make sure of that.

you will never become who you
want to be if you keep blaming
everyone else for who you are

I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting,
challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous

You can’t love anyone that way more than once in your lifetime. It’s too hard and it hurts too much when it ends. The first boy is always the hardest to get over

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. -oth

Forgiveness is never easy. Bitterness is easy, Hatred is easy. But forgiveness, that is a tough one. Sometimes people say things they don't mean or do things they can't take back. Sometimes we do things we can't take back. We're all afraid of something. I was afraid, i was dying. But in the face of great despair, i had an epiphany........... What i have done is who i am. But what i have done is not who i will be. Its been nearly 37 million seconds 10,000 hours, 14 months................. Since i realized what i have done is not who i can be. Unburden yourself from the mistakes of the past. And when you do, your heart grows stronger, i should know. Mine was supposed to go out long time ago. But it doesn't mea that what you have done is forgotten and what you have done remembers
-one tree hill<3

She hasn't looked at another boy in the same way; not since she met him at least.

sometimes, all you can do is not think not wonder; not obsess; not imagine.
sometimes you have to just breathe. breathe in, breathe out

Well, what I don't get is why do we exist? I don't mean how, but why.' I watched the fireflies of his thoughts orbit his head. He said, 'we exist because we exist. . .we could imagine all sorts of universes like this one, but this is the one that happened."

As long as I still feel something, it's not over. And believe me, sometimes I wish it was. But it's not. I can feel it.

I didn't change. I'm still the girl who sits around and laughs at dumb things, and walks with the biggest smile on her face. You're just mad because, frankly, i got tired of the bullshit and don't give a damn anymore. You're just mad because i'm not sitting home on a Friday night anymore wondering where you are, or who you're with. Sweetie, you're just mad that i finally moved on.

If you think I’ve given up on you, you’re crazy 
and if you think I don’t love you, then you’re just wrong.

i loved you before i knew your name.

I'm north and south, and I'll probably never have it all figured out but what I know is I wasn't meant to walk this world without you.

Something has been taken away from you, and you're numb. No wonder you're so afraid of ending up alone. Because the day you are, you're going to have to look inside yourself, and see what I've known for a long time: there's nothing there.

I love that feeling. You know, the one you get when you take a deep breath and suddenly everything feels like it's going to be okay. When you're hopeless as can be, and life is going nowhere, there's those moments we have every now and then where we just stop, and we get this feeling, that can't be described, but you just.. you just feel like everything really is going to be okay. Like the world stopped spinning for a second, and everything was clear.

I saw you today and realized how far apart we've grown. I know I should talk to you, and ask how you're doing and I really wish I could. But it just occurred to me that we're strangers now. You don't know me anymore, much less want to, and it's okay. You've moved on, I know that every thing's different now.

Yes, I know what I've done and I regret it every day. If I could make things right, you know I'd find a way.

You are every reason, every hope, and ever dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, every day we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. And, my darling, you will always be mine.

It's because of you. she's gonna break up with the next guy because of you. And the guy after that. She's gonna keep doing it because for some reason, you're the one she's supposed to be with.

If you expect the worst, the worst will happen. You are your own stress, your own anger, your own saddness, your own frustration. If you let things bother you, they will. So don't let them. Just be happy. Nothing in life is easy, so make the best of it all. Don't dwell on the negatives

The longer you wait for something, the more you appreciate when you finally get it.

When the remembering was done, the forgetting could begin.

i didn’t come here to tell you that i can’t live without you. i can live without you. i just don’t want to.

love doesn’t hurt, so i know i’m not falling in love. i’m just falling to pieces.

You can't help who you love. You're not supposed to

Even if you think the flame has died, there's at least one lyric that'll hit that last hot spot, and then you'll find yourself as fucked as you were the day you lied and said you never wanted to see him again.

Bad stuff does happen sometimes. Always remember that, but remember that you have to move on, somehow. You just pick up your head and stare at something beautiful like the sky, or the ocean, and you’ll move the hell on.

I can control myself: I won't let myself give in to you.

It's like getting lost between blankets and sheets; the way our arms and legs intertwine. It's like the wind in the trees; the way your words blow right through me. It's like the waves in the ocean crashing to shore; the way you crashed into me out of nowhere."

Lightning doesn't often strike the same place twice. It's a once in a lifetime thing. Even if it feels like the shock is coming over and over again. Eventually the pain will go away, the shock will wear off. And you start to heal yourself. To recover from something you never saw coming. But, sometimes the odds are in your favor. If you're in just the right place at just the right time you can take a hell of a hit, and still have a shot at surviving.

I remember the feeling. The electricity running through my body, and the adrenaline, the fireworks, the peace, the happiness, the way it felt to be infinite and the day it all went away.

And all I ever wanted was all I ever needed. And every time I look at you.
I know that you're the man who could love me like no other
And hate me like no other and want to see this face look into you forever

I will always carry you in my heart
You'll always be my shooting star
Autumn days will fade away, but memories will always stay the same
I'm hoping you will never change, don't ever change

There comes a time when you're infatuated with a single soul. For this person, you'd do anything, and not think twice about it. But when asked why, you have no answer. You'll try you're whole life to understand, how he can affect you as much as he does. But you'll never find out, and no matter how badly you hate it, or how much it hurts, you will love this person without regrets, for the rest of your life.

For any one of us, our forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now.
You never know for sure, so you'd better make every second count

You know those people who can predict when change is coming in their life? I'm not one of them. Change has a way of just walking up and punching me in the face

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

your smile is seriously the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. honestly,
it can brighten up my whole day. just looking at your beautiful face makes me want to
pull you into my arms and hold you there forever.

You don't realize how much it means to me when you say that you remembe
