things about things

“I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.”

“The truth is that we are not afraid to love. We are afraid that we will not get back the love we give.”

I think I’m more nervous about who I thought I was going to be, when I was little and thought growing up was easy. She is nowhere near who I am actually becoming.

“I just want someone who will love me when I do not know how to love myself.”

“Please, don’t mind me, I just kill myself sometimes.”

“Its a frightening thought, that in one fraction of a moment you can fall in the kind of love that takes a lifetime to get over.”

“I want the part of you that you refuse to give.”

“When you love someone, you are sure. You don’t need time to decide. You don’t say stop and start over and over, like you’re playing some kind of sport. You know the immensity of what you have and you protect it.”

“Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”

“Eventually soulmates meet, for they have the same hiding place.”

“Once you realize there is life after mistakes, you gain a self-confidence that never goes away.”

“And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”
