“When people make you feel unwanted, don’t leave to make them feel sad or guilty, they won’t. Leave because you no longer have a reason to stay. Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. What’s meant to be will end up good and what’s not - won’t. Love is worth fighting for, but sometimes you can’t be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don’t you just have to move on and realize what you gave them was more than they were willing to give you and more than they deserve.”

““Despite how open, peaceful, and loving you attempt to be, people can only meet you as deeply as they have met themselves.”

“Tell them I was the warmest place you knew and that you turned me cold.”

“I didn’t want us to end up like this. This is exactly what I was afraid of. I didn’t want us to act like strangers, or maybe even less because we can’t even hold eye contact, because we can’t ever talk again, because we can’t ever know each other again. And maybe I loved you so much that I wish we hadn’t fallen in love, just so I could have kept you by my side, even if it wasn’t as a lover.”

“Don’t act like you’re so understanding. You’re not allowed to be mad at me for not confiding in you when, when I do happen to do so, you only think about yourself.”

“Eventually you’ll end up where you need to be, with who you’re meant to be with, and doing what you should be doing. Patience is the key.”

“She was addictingly nice to cuddle with. It could be 3 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon on the sofa with nothing but the sound of her breathing and the cool February breeze swifting through the window and then gliding at our tangled skin. She smelled nice most of the time, even without the cologne, which she often shared with me so we can sniff each other when there was nothing else to do but cuddle. And I love the way she smiles when she’s in my arms and my legs are on top of her legs and she’s happy and I’m happy and that’s all we could ever be when the rest of the world feels warm and lovely and all I know is I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Right there in the miracle of her arms, every day, forever, always.”
