| 001 And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Being In Your Life Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility
002 All that glitters is not gold, but
we'd find diamonds everywhere
if we'd look with our hearts.
003 Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
004 You’re riding home in your car alone, away from that beautiful boy
who you’d just woken up next to, after sleeping together the night before;
Friday night of that Thanksgiving break. He had ironically texted you at 10,
from a friend’s house out in Eagan; It just so happened you were at a friend’s
a mile away. (Sometimes it’s hard not to believe in fate.) There was no way
the night would possibly end without the two of you meeting up to say hello.
But hello turned into talking for hours, and crashing in the same bed.
The seasons have changed, and changed, and changed again
since the night, years before, you first met, and with each turn so has he, and so have you;
you’re hardly the same people you fell in love with. Nonetheless,
you’ll continue to love each other for the rest of your lives, even after your last breaths.
But still, you know, although bittersweet, it’s time to really say goodbye.
You’re in the shower, home again over winter break, singing,
at the top of your lungs, to the lyrics blaring through the speakers of your sister's iHome:
“Remember all the things we wanted/Now all our memories, they’re haunted/
We were always meant to say goodbye - ”
And although you’re a terrible singer, you can’t help but realize
how perfect the words feel and sound; there’s not a doubt in your mind you and that
beautiful boy were destined to be together, but you also know it wasn’t meant to last forever.
On your list of things you’re thankful for, having experienced a love
like that is at the top, followed by knowing you’re making the right decision
by going your separate ways. " - So I'm already gone."
And you smile to yourself, knowing you’ll both find different,
even deeper loves again, someday.
005 "Every story has an end. But in life, every ending is just a new beginning." -Uptown Girls
006 i am on that 24 hour champagne diet
spillin' while i'm sippin'
i encourage you to try it.
007 Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling
So I got some things to say to you
I've seen it all, so I thought
But I never seen nobody shine the way you do
008 You can never say never
Why we dont know when
Time, time and time again
Younger now then we were before
009 As I was walking through a life one morning
the sun was out, the air was warm, but
Oh, I was cold
And though I must have looked half a person,
to tell the tale, in my own version,
It was only then that I felt whole
010 I wish that my head was my own notebook. I wish every single one of my thoughts were written down. Okay, it doesn't have to be a notebook. It can be an air sick bag for all I care. I am this person inside my head I could only dream to be. She's so open, so alive, she's so thoughtful and she is brilliant. She dreams of things I cant imagine on seeing. She sees colors, not words or people. She sees rainbows of colors. She is life. She breathes flowers and exhales master pieces of art. Her heart is full of love and compassion. I could only imagine what she is capable of. People would probably hate her if she was real. They’d probably find some reason to hate her. And they’d probably tear her, from limb to limb. They’d make her cry, just to watch her mascara run. But, I bet even then, make up smeared, eyes red and puffy, I bet even then she's still beautiful.
011 So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head
I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead
I know what's best for me
But I want you instead
I'll keep on wasting all my time
012 And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
013 Be thankful for every heartbreak, for they come into your life to reveal another layer
of yourself to you, and then leave.
their purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your
ego a little bit…
break your heart open so new light can get in,
make you so desperate and out of control that
you have to transform your life. And you do.
014 He and I had something beautiful
but so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
I loved him so but I let him go
'cause I knew he'd never love me back
015 "But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from,
we can still choose where we go from there.
"
016 I can't eat anything
Without shoving my hands down my throat
And I refuse to meet the world without smearing on makeup
With my hair blinding my eyes
Blinding my eyes
017 I can't keep myself and still keep you too
018 You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
Just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back
Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad
But what's so easy in the evening by the morning's such a drag
019 We loved each other. We still do love each other, & always will.
But we just couldn’t seem to get it together.
We finally got to that point of “enough is enough.”
And it was.
020 Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
-- Marcel Proust

| Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar and did
you miss me while you were looking at
yourself out there
i look at all the pictures of the past..thinking of how the years went by so fast
the dances, the parties, the pictures, the laughs. The shoulders to cry on and cute photographs
The people i've known since way back when
the new kids came every now and then..the friendships you make come and go
but theres alway those few you'll always know.
now as we go our separate ways, i know i'll always remember these days
all my life, I have felt like there was some part of me
missing and I felt that everyone could tell, like there
was some hole in me, and everyone could see through
it, like I wasn't finished or something.
-Boy Meets World
We've all been down this path before
You're trapped in this town
And it wears you down
When we leave today then maybe you'll understand
This constant struggle isn't always in the palm of our hand
maybe we're moving too fast, i don't know.
but for the first time in my life, i don't really care.
-Summerland.
it always comes down to choosing to listen to your heart or your head. choose your heart because it won't be your head that gets hurt in the end
The right thing isn't always real obvious.Sometimes the right thing for one person is the wrong thing for someone else.so.. good luck figuring that out.
-Eclipse
I don’t know what’s in store for us,
I don’t know how long this will last, and I don’t know if we're meant to be.
But I do know that I love being in your arms,
I know that I love being by your side, and I know that
I love you.
I don't love you, I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie but
who could love me? I am out of my mind
throw an old line out to sea to see if I can
catch a dream
-Panic! At The Disco
I miss you most when i'm driving alone
and that song comes on the radio.
You know, the one you always used to
sing to me, no matter how much greif I gave you.
You always sang it and I always smiled
it's been raining since you left me and now I'm drowning in the flood.
You see, I've always been a fighter, but without you I feel like giving up.
Dear Holly, I don't have much time. I don't mean literally, I mean you're out buying ice cream and you'll be home soon. But I have a feeling this is the last letter, because there is only one thing left to tell you. It isn't to go down memory lane or make you buy a lamp, you can take care of yourself without any help from me. It's to tell you how much you move me, how you changed me. You made me a man, by loving me Holly. And for that, I am eternally grateful... literally. If you can promise me anything, promise me that whenever you're sad, or unsure, or you lose complete faith, that you'll try to see yourself through my eyes. Thank you for the honor of being my wife. I'm a man with no regrets. How lucky am I. You made my life, Holly. But I'm just one chapter in yours. There'll be more. I promise. So here it comes, the big one. Don't be afraid to fall in love again. Watch out for that signal, when life as you know it ends. P.S. I will always love you
-PS I Love You
Whatever you go through, it all makes your stronger.
No matter how many tears, or how many screams, or whines.
Even when you think, you're positive it's all making you weaker, and
tearing you down from the inside. But it never does.
It only prepares you for the future.
We drive tonight, and you are by my side.
We're talking about our lives like we've known each other forever.
The time flies by with the sound of your voice.
It's close to paradise with the end surely near,
If I could only stop the car and hold onto you and never let go.
i believe that we are who we choose to be.
nobody is going to come and save you,
you've got to save yourself.
nobody's going to give you anything.
you've got to go out & fight for it.
nobody knows what you want except for you
and nobody will be as sorry as you if you dont get it.
so dont give up on your dreams.
sometimes you have to test someone,
not because you don't trust them, but
to see how much they will sacrifice for
you & sometimes you have to let them go;
not because you suddenly stopped loving
them, but to see if they love you enough
to come back.
You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
I want her to be happy, no matter what that means. I want her to find someone who will treat her with all the love she deserved from me. I want her to meet someone who will see her always as I do now, through Your eyes.
-Bruce Almighty
If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they
take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever
with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?
-Nineteen Minutes
Don’t send me mixed signals
I don’t like the confusion it brings
id rather have the honest truth
even if it hurts...because then
I wouldn’t waste my time depending
on false hope to keep me hanging on..
So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
-Grey's Anatomy | | |
| even with the distance, slowly wearing at your name,
your hands still catch the light the right way
and our hearts still beat the same.
sometimes we take for granted the people in our lives
that mean so much and when we finally realize that,
it can be too late. Take advantage of every minute you have,
hold onto and cherish every second. Have no regrets
and never forget those that made you into who you are.
Just let it die with no goodbyes. Details don't matter; we've both paid the price. Tears in my eyes, you know sometimes it'd be like that, baby. Now every time I see you I pretend I'm fine. When I wanna reach out to you but I turn & I walk & I let it ride. Baby, I must confess, we were bigger than anything. Remember us at our best & don't forget about us.
that's the problem with us. we're both stubborn asses and always want to get our way. we both hate to be wrong and love to be right. but that's the thing about love. no matter what happens, we always come back for each other, one more time.- the notebook
we accept the love we think we deserve.
-- the perks of being a wallflower
Out of all the things I could do with you, I look forward to sleeping with you the most.
Not having sex but more than that - just sleeping in the same bed,
you holding me in your arms and me falling asleep on your chest
and waking up with you, right next to me.
That's what I want. That's what I look forward to.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you
But it isn't always that easy. Sometimes, one thing that would please me the most is simply seeing you. I knew that I'd miss you, I just didn't know I'd miss you as much as I do. I want to share my tears with you. I want to share my love with you. I want to share my happiness with you. I want to share my strength with you, my smiles, my frowns, my joy, my loss, my good days, my bad days, the rain, the sunshine, hot cocoa, and the snowflakes. I want to share my life with you. People can just be best friends but at one point or another, one of them will fall for the other, maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe .. just maybe, forever.
"I want to climb into bed with someone and have them hold me throughout the entire night. I want both of us to be completely naked. No make-up to hide imperfections. I want to feel the intensity and warmth of their breath on the back of my neck without a cotton barrier. I want to feel every jolt of nervousness and doubt as they trace their fingertips over my body. I want to feel every curve and angle underneath their skin as they press their body up against me. I want to be trapped in their embrace. I want to be suffocated with the scent of them surrounding me; the roughness of a man’s hands as he traces lines over my own skin, taking pieces of me away and giving me mismatched pieces of himself to treasure and hoard for eternity. I want to close my eyes and feel nothing, think of nothing, but him and the way I fit perfectly into his arms, how we surely must have been created from the same mold. I want his body wrapped around me so tightly that I can only just catch my breath. I want my skin to tingle with his movements as he fidgets in his sleep, excited simply by the prospect of feeling his hands on me. I want him to bury his face into my neck, my hair, and tell me that he adores me. I want him to whisper words of devotion into my ear as I drift off into sleep, and I want him to continue hours after my breathing has deepened and my body relaxed. I want to wake up in the morning and squeeze my eyes shut, lying as silently still as possible so as not to wake him, just to prolong that precious moment. I want to belong and share and know what it is to love and be loved again without awkwardness or doubt or anxiety. I just need you."
We’re so different.
We’re hot and cold, fire and water.
I’m loud, you’re quiet.
I talk, you listen.
I’m crazy, you’re sane, but that’s why this works…
You fill in my missing pieces and I complete you, and I guess that’s why,
despite the questions and the challenges, I still believe in us and I still believe in this…
and as long as we have each other, I think we’ll be alright.
-Katrina Berning
I do understand the impulse. The impulse to put your hand out and want someone to be there at the end of your reach. To want someone to be close to. To want to kiss or touch even if it's wrong. The point is you can't control these feelings. Even if they're wrong, they're there. They're always there.
Here's a toast. To the good days, the better friends. The ones that you just can'tlive without. The people that have taught you how to party. How to live. How to have a good time just sitting around. Here are to the people that no matter how bad things seem, are going to be there for you. To lean back on and catch you if you fall.
You know, its a little weird,
having people look at me with you &
be like, why the hell is she with him
she could get so much better,
well guess what, what they dont know is,
there isnt any better, and even if there was
i wouldn't want it cause all i want is you
"You may not be her first, her last, or her only.
She loved before she may love again.
But if she loves you now, what else matters?
She's not perfect - you aren't either,
and the two of you may never be perfect together
but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice,
and admit to being human and making mistakes,
hold onto her and give her the most you can.
She may not be thinking about you every second of the day,
but she will give you a part of her
that she knows you can break - her heart.
So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze
and don't expect more than she can give.
Smile when she makes you happy,
let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she's not there."
-Bob Marley

| So is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with
Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish
I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids
the important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments. learn to let go of the past and recognize that every day won’t be sunny. but when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember it’s only in the black of night that you can see the stars. and those stars will lead you back home.
- One Tree Hill
It would be a long while because, quite simply,
I was in love with New York.
I do not mean love in any colloquial way,
I mean that I was in love with the city,
the way you love the first person who ever touches you
and you never love anyone quite that way again.
Lot of people spend their time just floating
We were victims together but lonely
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
Building with bent nails we're falling but holding,
I don't wanna take up any more of your time
- Jack Johnson
but along the way, you make friends. good friends. with people you never knew existed when you were growing up. and you help each other realize that all the things you want to be, you already are.
-- Dawson's Creek
Liesl: What do you do when you stop
loving the person you love?
When they stop loving you?
Maria: Well, you cry a little.
And then you wait for the sun to come up.
It always does.
-The Sound of Music
"The summer when I was seventeen,
I was so full of undifferentiated sensuality that the world
was a great glowing golden fruit around me.
I didn't long for love and nor did I need it,
yet I saw love everywhere without even looking for it.
Everywhere I looked, I saw people delighting in each other.
But I needed no one. I was myself, complete.
At night the summer air breathed onto my face with
such promises of bliss that I slept in a deep swoon.
It was caressed by the morning sunlight and
seduced by the long afternoon shadows, and
I lapped it all up in such a daze of sensation that
I couldn't tell where the world ended and I began.
I was so much in love with simply being alive
that I could have kissed the sky."
Here's the truth about forever:
It doesn't exist.
So live everyday as if it's the last time you'll ever see that person.
-- The Truth About Forever, Sarah Dessen
The papercuts the cheating lovers
The coffee's never strong enough
i know you think it's more than just bad luck
I can't help it, I couldn't stop it if I tried.
The same old heartbeat fills the emptiness I have inside
and I've heard that you can't fight love,
so I won't complain.
Why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on?
And dreams came around you in a hazy rain.
You opened your mouth wide to feel them fall.
And I write a letter, from a one-way train.
But I don't think you'll read it at all.
i've got dreams and aspirations
and i'm pretty good at conversations
i've got a heart i want to give
but i need someone to share it with
But I know someday
I'm gonna reach the banks of a distant shore
Where I won't miss you anymore
– Dierks Bentley
And it hurts to want everything
and nothing at the same time.
I want what's yours and I want what's mine.
I want you, but I'm not giving in this time.
Maybe it's our first mistake, and baby, that's alright.
It's crazy how we lost ourselves tonight.
There's a reason why they say that we should give it time,
But time is not enough, and that's the reason why
When you're young, you fall in love.
So since I'm not your everything
How about I'll be nothing, nothing at all to you
Baby I won't shed a tear for you, I won't lose a wink of sleep
'Cause the truth of the matter is replacing you is so easy
i woke up the next morning
with a smile on my face
and a long list of gentlemen
happy to take your place
less trashier much classier
then who you prove to be
how longs it ganna take before
you see that shes no me
She felt a little betrayed and sad, but presently a moving object
came into sight. It was a huge horse-chestnut tree in full bloom
bound for the Champs-Elysées, strapped now into a long truck
and simply shaking with laughter - like a lovely person in an
undignified position yet confident nonetheless of being lovely.
Looking at it with fascination Rosemary identified herself with it,
and laughed cheerfully with it, and everything all at once seemed gorgeous.
-- F. Scott Fitzgerald, 'Tender is the Night'
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
"I won't tell you any more, so you can imagine it,
so you can have it unrehearsed when the time comes,
as it will, as it does come. We will see each other again, Clare.
Until then, live, fully, present in the world, which is so beautiful.
It's dark, now, and I am very tired.
I love you, always. Time is nothing."
-Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife.
"Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to a new understanding
with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile,
leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never ever the same."
-Ravia Weedn
When you lose somebody you think
you've lost the whole world but
that's not the way things turn out in the end.
Eventually, you pick yourself up and
look out the window and once you do,
you see everything that was
there before the world ended is still there.
how do you leave the past behind,
when it keeps finding ways to get into your heart?
-- Rent.
Isn't it strange the places on the map your heart can take you?
And then you figure out sometimes it's okay
to stay still for a while,
you don't have to go everywhere all at once,
you can see a boy & you can love him for a minute
& maybe it's real & maybe it's not,
but sometimes all you have to do is wave back & keep going.
[The Geography Of Girlhood by Kristen Smith]
And all this time, while the world passes us by
What will we leave, but the pages of our lives?
And if we take our time, I bet we can all find
The things worth living for.

| I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out
after awhile, you learn that even
sunshine burns if you get too much.
so you plant your own garden and
decorate your own soul instead of waiting
for someone to bring you flowers.
Im not shooting for a "successful" relationship at this point,
i'm just looking for something that will prevent me from
throwing myself in front of a bus.
i'm keeping my expectations very very low.
The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose, they're still looking for life
i wanted to be the person he told things to. i wanted him to think i was pretty. i wanted him to be reminded of me by stuff i liked - reeses and watching movies and the songs i'd sing - and i wanted him to miss me when we were apart. i wanted him to feel, when we were lying in bed together, like he couldn't imagine anywhere better.
You know what I want more than anything in the world right now? To talk to you, to be with you, this very instant. I want to sit across from you Indian style and look into your eyes and see for myself exactly how they change color in the light. I want to hold your hand in the palm of mine, and trace every line with my fingertips.
I hope that love she gave you,
Was just enough to save you.
You nearly broke my heart,
Just look at what you’re tearing apart
Everybody says you're no good for me
Nothin' but trouble is what you bring
Everybody thinks you're out to get me
Helpless little fool they must think I am
and when we meet, which i’m sure we will,
all that was there will be there still.
i'll let it pass and hold my tongue
and you will think that i’ve moved on.
When it came to looks she was next to none
But loved partying and having too much fun
Then she hooked up with the wrong someone
And he promised everything under the sun
I bet you didn't know that I'm
terrified of the dark, & every time
I think of you, I smile. I bet you
don't know that I hate thunderstorms,
but love dancing in the rain, or how
much I laugh with my friends & how
much I truly enjoy being happy. I
bet you don't know how many tears
I've cried just for you, or how much
I doubt myself every day. I bet you
don't know how ticklish I am or how
I can't make decisions & how
it drives me crazy when you look at me.
how longs it ganna take before
you see that shes no me
i knew better
than to let you break my heart
the soul you'll never see again
won't be showing scars
That night we talked; we talked about life, about our times together.
Maybe we aren't the same two kids we once were, but some things
never change. Some things last, and even though I didn't know what
was going to happen to us or where we were going I just knew
I couldn't let you out of my life.
Don't wanna be like
every other girl in the world
like every other one who wants you
Cuz when I see you, something inside me burns
and then I realize I wanna come first
We don't talk anymore
and I can't understand why.
It's like you gave me wings
then told me it's illegal to fly.
It's a shame you see me hurting and
you don't even know what you did.
Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out I'm nothing without you
"It's never easy to understand why memories hold our hand but people let go."
Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday
When I caught your eye
And we caught onto something, I hold on to the night
You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
"I don't want to date someone just to
date someone. I want to be with a guy who's
going to better my quality of life, better me."
-Blake Lively
How many I told you's
And start overs and shoulders
Have you cried on before
How many promises be honest girl
How many tears you let hit the floor
How many bags you packed
Just to take 'em back
I'm scared because I don't want anyone else to steal your heart; thats what I want to do.
I wish I could give you what youre looking for,
but i dont know what it is. Theres a part of you
that you keep closed off from everyone, including
me. Its as if im not the one your really with.
Your mind is on someone else.
I heard you say you would love for a lifetime
Now you complain a lifetime just doesn't feel right for you
Another casualty of casual love
Another soul out of place, a heart that gave up
Why do we break the promises we make?
Are we living for ourselves?
Don't give up on love and throw it all away.
Now is your chance to take the pieces of your broken heart and make something new, something whole. To pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and scream at the sky you won’t be knocked so far down you can’t get back up again.
All at once
I had it all
But it doesn’t mean anything
Now that you’re gone
"Girls were born knowing how destructive the truth could be. They learned to hold it in, tamp it down, like gunpowder in an old-fashioned gun. Then it exploded in your face, on a November day in the rain."
'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
When you're fifteen and your first kiss
Makes your head spin 'round
But in your life you'll do things greater than
Dating the boy on the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen
And its hard to leave when I havent seen you in so long
And if we had just held out for tomorrow
We might of seen what seemed so far away
We didnt even bother to stay
There it goes I can tell youre gonna keep your eyes to the ground
Waiting for something to finally come around
Tell you that you knew you werent wrong
And its finally time for so long
