This Is The Real World

“We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment of it.”

“In many ways I’ll miss the good old days.”

“I need a life that isn’t just about needing to escape my life.”

“You can tell how dangerous a person is by the way they hold their anger inside themselves quietly.”

“You know what my dad always says? That love is when all your happiness and all your sadness and all your feelings are dependent upon another person. So I guess I love you”

“I only know you at night, but I have a feeling the morning you is even better.”

“I fell in love with his unchanging soul.”

“I don’t pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me. Love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person. Love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of. Love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”

“You are most powerful when you are most silent. People never expect silence. They expect words, motion, defense, offense, back and forth. They expect to leap into the fray. They are ready, fists up, words hanging leaping from their mouths. Silence? No.”

“There’s a brief moment when you first wake up where you have no memories, a blissful blank slate, a happy emptiness, but it doesn’t last long and you remember exactly where you are and what you are trying to forget.”

“I loved the parts of you that were kind, beautiful soft smiles in fleeting time; ever expanding happiness and creativity. It’s bittersweet darling that you were only so in the absence of me, so what choice did I have but to let you go?”

“love those who treat you well and forget the ones who don’t”

“But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was heartbreak and misery it’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way you’re happy without me.”
