‘ it is only once in awhile that you see someone whose electricity and presence matches your at that moment. ’ ‘ we could have been happy. i know that, and it is perhaps the hardest thing to know. ’ ‘ i mean, i hope you’re happy, but the sky is still the sky without you and i’m not surprised by that anymore. ’ ‘ that didn’t happen, of course. things never happened the way i imagined them. ’ ‘ we need never be hopeless because we can never be irreparably broken. ’ ‘ i still catch myself feeling sad about things that don’t matter anymore. ’ ‘ i used to think i was tough, but then i realized i wasn’t. i was fragile and i wore thick fucking armor. and i hurt people so they couldn’t hurt me. and i thought that was what being tough was, but it isn’t. ’ ‘ perhaps one did not want to be loved as much as to be understood. ’ ‘ i tried so hard to be everything you wanted, i forgot who i was. ’ ‘ is anyone anywhere happy? ’ ‘ we didn’t talk about anything heavy or light. ’ ‘ we were just there together and that was enough. ’ ‘ i looked and looked at you and i knew, as clearly as i know that i will die, that i loved you more than anything i had ever seen or imagined on earth. ’ ‘ you think ‘okay, i get it, i’m prepared for the worst,’ but you hold out that small hope, see, and that’s what fucks you up. that’s what kills you. ’ ‘ i belong to moments. not to people. ’ ‘ loving you was the easiest thing i ever did, even when it was hard, it was easy. loving you was like breathing. ’ ‘ the you who you are tonight is the same you i was in love with yesterday. the same you i’ll be in love with tomorrow. ’ ‘ i’ve seen a lot of beautiful things with a heavy heart. ’ ‘ but the heart has its own memory and i have forgotten nothing. ’ ‘ after awhile you could get used to anything. ’ ‘ i crave a dangerous kind of love – one that breaks hearts and bed springs. ’ ‘ just because you love someone, that doesn’t mean your lives will fit together. ’ ‘ there is so much stubborn hope in the human heart. ’ ‘ be patient with me. my heart is heavy. ’ ‘ my heart talks about nothing but you. ’ ‘ i want you by my side so that i never feel alone again. ’ ‘ i think too much. i don’t feel enough. ’ ‘ i might confess that it’s you i love. ’ ‘ maybe some things aren’t supposed to last. maybe they mean more that way. ’ ‘ i was supposed to be having the time of my life. ’ ‘ i hope i’ll always believe in love even if love shames me and tries to destroy me. i’ll hope i’ll want to start again. ’ ‘ what does it mean to mourn what never happened? ’ ‘ i’m awfully difficult but i do know when i love someone and i’ve loved you ever since i can remember. ’ ‘ the sad truth is that the truth is sad and that what you want does not matter. ’ ‘ you can’t leave yet. i’m not finished falling in love with you. ’ ‘ i’m not sorry for who i had to become in order to survive. ’ ‘ i didn’t necessarily feel like dying, but i’d been feeling a lot like not being alive. ’ ‘ with me, you’re number one and there isn’t even a number two. ’ ‘ you shouldn’t miss people who don’t miss you, right? ’ ‘ i tried so hard to be everything you wanted, i forgot who i was. ’ ‘ do you know how hard it is to say nothing? when every atom of you strains to do the opposite? ’ ‘ our only kiss was like an accident – a beautiful gasoline rainbow. ’ ‘ that’s what’s so damn difficult about making the decision to leave. whether it’s the right or wrong call, it hurts just the same. ’ ‘ everybody should have to love, and it should last as long as your life does. ’ ‘ loving you was the easiest thing i ever did. even when it was hard, it was easy. loving you was like breathing. ’ ‘ i love you. i don’t always understand you, but i love you. ’ ‘ how do you go back to being strangers with someone who has seen your soul? ’ ‘ break my heart. break it a thousand times if you like. it was only ever yours to break anyway. ’ ‘ just so you know, i fucking loved you. i fucking loved the daylights out of you. ’ ‘ i hope you find someone you can’t live without. i really do. and i hope you never have to know what it’s like to try and live without them. ’ ‘ i think we almost loved each other, but the only thing i was sure about is that almost wasn’t good enough. ’ ‘ of course i miss you. one minute you were here and now you’re gone. even if i didn’t love you, i’d miss you. and i loved the fuck out of you. ’ ‘ people don’t always get what they deserve in this world. ’ ‘ what if you find your soulmate at the wrong time? ’ ‘ you drink a little too much and try a little too hard and you go home to a cold bed and think, ‘that was fine.’ and your life is a long line of fine. ’ ‘ i was so fucking soft for you and you ruined me. ’ ‘ time will pass; these moods will pass; and i will, eventually, be myself again. ’ ‘ and i’m over it, i’m over it, i promise i’m over it. but it still hurts sometimes. ’ ‘ ‘almost’ is the worst way to love someone. ’ ‘ i don’t know what i think. all i know is that most of the time i would rather be with you than anyone else i know. ’ ‘ you are pretty much the only thing that makes me get up in the morning. ’ ‘ what did my fingers do before i held you? what did my heart do with its love? ’ ‘ it has been a beautiful fight. still is. ’ ‘ stop insisting on clearing your head – clear your fucking heart instead. ’ ‘ too often, the only escape is sleep. ’ ‘ it’s necessary for me sometimes just to be alone and quiet and doing nothing. ’ ‘ you have a place in my heart no one else ever could have. ’ ‘ i do love you – i can’t change that. ’ ‘ come and kiss me and let’s forget. ’ ‘ i don’t ask you to love me always like this, but i ask you to remember. ’ ‘ somewhere inside of me there will always be the person i am tonight. ’ ‘ i used to build dreams about you. ’ ‘ i love you so much, much, much that it just hurts every minute i’m with you. ’ ‘ sometimes people just want to be happy, even if it’s not real. ’ ‘ every nerve in my body could be damaged or numb and i’d still be able to feel you. ’ ‘ i may be in pain, but i am not weak. ’ ‘ you look like a dream i’ve never had before. ’ ‘ you can live a good life without ever knowing real love. ’ ‘ you are as real as anyone, and your doubts make you more real, not less. ’ ‘ the one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person. ’ ‘ the only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open. ’ ‘ it’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. we have no scar to show for happiness. ’ ‘ just for the record, the weather today is calm and sunny, but the air is full of bullshit. ’ ‘ just for the record, the weather today is partly suspicious with chances of betrayal. ’ ‘ just for the record, the weather today is bitter with occasional bits of jealous rage. ’ ‘ the weather today is partly angry, leading to resignation and ultimatums. ’ ‘ for the record, knowing when people are only pretending to like you isn’t such a great skill to have. ’
