Sometimes things just fucking hurt.

“Shutting you out was hard. But what’s harder is opening up for anyone else ever again,”

“I could have fallen in love with you with my eyes closed”

“You know when you love someone. It hums through every inch of your body. It makes you smile and laugh and cry. It makes you feel alive, so alive, like nothing can ever touch you. You just feel love.”

“The other day by the sea side, I saw a fish escape the cruel beak of a seagull because she refused to stop struggling, even in the very jaws of death, and I wondered, if I will one day learn to be as brave as that fish.”

“And oh does the love I have for you surpass every other rational thought in my head.”

“when is the right time to stop. when is the right time to stop waiting for something to happen that isn’t going to and quit. when is the right time to stop giving second chances. when is the right time to stop fighting for people who wouldn't fight back for you. when is the right time to put your foot down. when is the right time to stop letting it go. when is the right time to say i have had enough. when is the right time to stop crying. when is the right time to start living for yourself”

“And I’ll listen” she said. “No matter how each word could break every piece of my heart. I’ll taste every reason why you fell in love with someone who’s not me.” she sighed and uttered, “That’s my way of accepting the truth. I just need you to say it. Tell me you don’t want me anymore. Tell me you aren’t going to look back once you leave me alone. For the last time, please be honest with me. Say that you don’t love me anymore.”

“When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you’ll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.”
