“Maybe we’ll meet again, when we’re slightly older and our minds less hectic, and I’ll be right for you and you’ll be right for me. But right now I am chaos to your thoughts and you are poison to my heart.”

“No matter how busy someone is, if they love you and care they will find a way to make time for you. Even the smallest text message or quickest phone call can say a thousand words”

“Abuse can feel like love…Why?”

“Because pain in the body quiets the pain in the head. It feels good, like a kill switch for your brain.”

It sounds like a lullaby, and then it sounds like a pack of wolves, and then it sounds like a slaughterhouse, and then it sounds like a motel room and a married man saying I love you and the shower is running at the same time. It makes her teeth ache and her heart rattle.

“If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.”

“Ich hab dich so geliebt, weil wir das gleiche hassten.”

“Remembering is painful, it’s difficult, but it can be inspiring and it can give wisdom.”

“Wirkliche Einsamkeit hat nicht unbedingt etwas damit zu tun, wie alleine man ist.”

“Some names will always taste bitter.”

“Man kann jemanden noch so lieben. Doch man liebt ihn nie so stark, wie man ihn später vermisst.”
