The Girl You Chase

“you are not a graveyard

“The bravest thing you could ever do is let someone hurt you and still talk beautiful about them.”

“I was like a patient who cannot tell the doctor where it hurts, only that it does.”

“Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.”

It would be easier not to love her. To pretend that it all means nothing. Save myself the inevitable heartbreak that comes from loving a girl like her. A girl who’s too good for you. But god she smiles and I blow it. The way she looks with her hair undone under the soft light of the computer screen is a work of art. If Da Vinci have of seen her he would have spent his entire life trying to capture her beauty. She touched my hand and a wildfire is lit inside me, something untameable with a mind of its own. What I’m trying to say is maybe I will love her. Maybe she’s worth the risk.

“Sometimes I feel so – I don’t know – lonely. The kind of helpless feeling when everything you’re used to has been ripped away. Like there’s no more gravity, and I’m left to drift in outer space with no idea where I’m going.” - Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“Sometimes you grow up in the space of a minute.”

“It takes great deal of courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still learn to love it.”
