Your smile says your happy, but it's cheaper than your words.
& your silence speaks so clearly, but I swear I'll make this work

As he took my hand in the dark, I wasn't
lost anymore. I was free and I was his.

It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It's just that I think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universes way of providing contrast, you know? There has to be a few holes in the road, because that's just how life is.
~The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

Admit it. She's getting to you You're
finding out that you don't like being without her.

we're going to have to accept
the fact that people stay in our hearts,
even if they don't stay in our lives.

One of the hardest things in life
is having words in your heart that you cannot even explain.

Old feelings never really leave you;
they just kind of fade away.
People come and go into your life -
& there's nothing you can do.

67% of Americans say "I love you"
23% actually mean it

You don't always win your battles,
but it's good to know you fought.

A second chance doesn't mean anything unless you learned from your first

Appreciate what you have & who you have,
because the future can take it all away from you.

There’s no past tense in love:
you do, you don’t, or you never did.

He says things a little too well
and comes off a little too cute

Every girl needs a best friend to help her laugh,
when she thinks she'll never smile again

I know you won’t miss me.
You’ll be just fine.
I’m the one who will have trouble
keeping you off my mind.

We can spend our live letting the world tell us who we are.
Sane or insane. Saints or sex addicts. Heroes or victims.
Letting history tell us how good or bad we are.
Letting our past decide our future.
Or we can decide for ourselves.
Maybe it’s our job to invent something better.

If I had a snowflake for every time I thought of you,
we'd have a really white Christmas.

I’m not asking
to be someone’s
entire world.
All I want is to matter.

i wanna stand out in a crowd for you.

i wanna make your world better 
than it's ever been.

I'll let you be in my dreams

if I can be in yours.

~Bob Dylan



He's the king of mixed signals,
and I'm the queen of second thoughts

I know a lot about cars.

"Man who live in glass house should change in basement"
"Man who run in front of car get tired"
"Man who run behind car get exhausted"

One day in heaven, the Lord decided He would visit the earth and take a stroll.
Walking down the road, He encountered a man who was crying.
The Lord asked the man, "Why are you crying, my son?"
The man said that he was blind and had never seen a
sunset.
The Lord touched the man who could then see... and he was happy.
As the Lord walked further, He met another man crying and asked, "Why are you crying my son?"
The man was born a cripple and was never able to walk.
The Lord touched him and he could walk... and he was happy.
Farther down the road, the Lord met another man who was crying and asked, "Why are you crying, my son?"
The man said, "Lord I'm a high school band director."
....... and the Lord sat down and cried with him.

Back to Quotes
Maybe one day, along the way

you'll think of me
and you'll be smiling.

maybe one day, you'll remember.



I'm an easy girl to love,

but the hardest person to keep loving
you gave me back something i thought i'd lost..
feelings i thought I'd never feel again..



I'm forever changed
By someone I never knew



I am a work in progress.
Dressed in the fabric of a world unfolding.
Offering me intricate patterns of questions.
Rhythms that never come clean
and strengths that you still haven't seen.



"I like to be with you, but the real you.

The one I got all crushed out on, you know?

I don't want to see you change.
I like you.

And I like the fact that somebody like you sees something in me



We were all born beautiful
It's the things we do that make us ugly



we're only young once.
lets fuck it up right.

.

people should take their, "I want you to like me," stickers off of their foreheads
and put them where they'd really do some good
- on their mirrors.

It still hurts when I think that once,
he was almost mine.



Don’t threaten me with what you think I feel.
If you could read my mind, you would be in tears.



Remember when we first met?
We laughed & smiled together.
 It was a perfect moment &,
 we didn't even know each other.



I was the girl who didn’t know what she wanted. So I ran. I ran from you and all your love, afraid that admitting I fell for you would only hurt me When running only hurt us more.
