“I would like for you to hold me a little closer, love me a little harder, and promise me that you’ll always be there.” She whispered to him. He cupped her cheek, gently pulling her face up so he could look her in the eyes. “I’ll love you every day for the rest of our lives. I’ll always be here when you want me, when you need me, and the rare days when you can’t stand to be around me; I’ll be here.” He replied, brushing his lips against hers.

“How beautiful it must be to be born a rose.”

“Don’t worry, sometimes I don’t recognize me either.”

The thing is, I don’t need you or anyone else to love me. I love myself as I am and I don’t need approval for being who I am.”

I often wonder what the stars dream about

“You’re beautiful. You’re strong. You’re smart. You’re capable. You’re enough. You will endure and accomplish, I promise.”

“I don’t compete with other people. I’m too busy building myself up and focusing on my success for my future.”

“If only you could love me without restriction or conditions, like I love you.”

“Some days I just want to tell everyone to fuck off. I’m not mad at them, but I’d like to be alone for awhile without having to explain myself.”

“If you break my heart, I’m not afraid to break your bones.”

“I want you to feed my soul, hold my heart, and treasure my being; not my body.”

“It’s both a blessing and a curse to be a happy person with a sad soul, because it makes it harder to be understood.”

“I will never forget the look in your eyes when I said, ‘I do’.”

“She is a volcanic diamond; a treasure so rare and beautiful that few brave the dangers to reach her.”
