Only then do I acknowledge that what I'm feeling might be true happiness. Even joy. Over the past several days, when I have felt the beginnings of this emotion tugging at my heart, it has crossed my mind that the key to happiness should not be found in a man. That an independent, strong woman should feel fulfilled and whole on her own. Those things might be true. & Without him in my life, I like to think I could have somehow found contentment. But the truth is, I feel freer with him than I ever did when I was single. I feel more myself with him than without. Maybe true love does that.
-Something Borrow; Emily Griffin

02.

Oh, you should have seen me cry. It was like there was an eighth ocean to be on this earth, and it was to be born from my very own two eyes.

03.

You won't let her. You're so mysterious all the time. Tell me, would it be so dangerous to let her know how much you care? Everybody else knows..
-Spiderman

04.

But that summer had a way of making her smile & feel happier. It was sort of amazing how for those three months she always believed in herself & all that she could do.

05.

You know, I’ve got this theory; there are two kinds of people in the world. There are lyric people and music people. You know, the lyrics people tend to be analytical. You know, all about the meaning of the song. They’re the ones you see with the CD insert out like five minutes after buying it, pouring over the lyrics, interpreting the hell out of everything. Then there’s the music people… who could care less for the lyrics as long as it’s just got, like, a good beat and you could dance to it. I don’t know, sometimes it might be easier to be a music girl and not a lyric girl. But since I’m not, let me just say this: sometimes things find you when you need them to find you. I believe that. And for me, it’s usually song lyrics.
-One Tree Hill

06.

I can't forget what you've forgotten all along.

07.

I'm scared of not being with you.
-A Walk To Remember

08.

I feel like one of those people who is so miserable that they can't be around normal people, like I'll infect the happy people.
-Grey's Anatomy

09.

I've found that the more you try to impress other people, the less impressive you become. The cooler you attempt to look, the more ignorant you seem. The more knowledge you boast about, the more foolish you come off. However, when you find that niche in your personality, you can become comfortable; if you can roll with it & be happy, you'll grow to be confident & sincere. You realize you don't have to prove yourself to other people & for that, they will respect you. & you gained their respect through being & respecting your own person. Once you appreciate all the wondrous things you can do independently, people will gravitate to that self-confidence & maybe, after improving yourself, someone will be inspired, & grow into their own person, too.

10.

I'm so sick of these games. We're in love, but hurting each other just to see how far we can push it is no way for us to prove we have love.

01.

I told them all the great things about you, and there were a lot. I was up there for awhile. I didn't tell them everything, though. I left out the complicated stuff, like how it took losing you forever for me to truly find you. And how finding you turned me into someone else entirely. That's not what they came for. People want to hear that you are great. And you were great. They want to know I miss you. And i do. It's weird though, I feel like the only one who would understand this is you. Anyway, I left that all out and kept it simple. I told them I loved you just like i always have and just like i always will, and that's the truth.

02.

The girl you used to know? She left, just like you did.

03.

I can’t help it. I can’t help caring. I’m forced. I’m too weak to restrain myself from you. I can’t help looking for you in a crowd. I can’t help thinking of you in the middle of night, day, or anytime at all. I can’t help wishing that you would love me. I can’t help waiting until the moment we talk again. I can’t help wanting to be more than just friends. I can’t help the way I love you..although I wish I could. Sometimes I just wonder why I love you the way I do; but I don’t have a reason.

04.

It's when you're having the worst day ever and the touch of his hand makes everything better.

05.

Your first love. You know who I'm talking about, because I bet you read the words, "first love," and that one boy just came to mind. There's nothing like that first boy you were afraid to love. That one boy you knew it was love, despite what others said. That one boy who changed your expectations and that one boy who you compare all the future boys with. Because deep down inside, you knew he was the one. The one who set the standards for love.

06.

Right now, my biggest falter would be growing apart form you. You've changed and I have, too. But we had the time of our lives and I'm wishing I could go back. I think I would have done something different.

07.

Some people are easy to get over. They only take a week or two. But sooner or later, you'll find the one who has changed everything about you, and no matter how hard you try, you can't find the words to say goodbye.

08.

And as you move on, remember me. Remember us and all we used to be. I've seen you cry and I've seen you smile. I'd spend a lifetime with you. I know your fears and you know mine. We've had our doubts, but now we're fine. And I love you, I swear that's true. I cannot live without you.

09.

The magic of first love is the ignorance that it can never end.

10.

I thought I could live in your arms, and spend every moment I had with you. Stay up all night with the stars, confess all the faith that I had in you.

01.

Do you miss him at the most happy and fulfilling times in your life? Just because you miss him when the world is quiet and you feel alone doesn't mean you love him. You will miss anyone when you are lonely. It's when your life is going great and you still feel the ache in your heart because he isn't there to see the genuine smile on your face and happiness in your life.

02.

"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 a 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 then 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

03.

She said, "Do you know what it's like to lose your other half? To be so sad that, when you finally have a reason to smile, it doesn't feel natural anymore?"

04.

Treat him right, okay? He probably doesn't deserve it but I know he needs the best he can get, and if I can't be the one to give it to him, I want you to. I know that every time I look at you, I would love to see you out of his life, but you just have to understand that I loved him for so long and it's going to take me a while to let go of the fact that he's in love with someone else, and I know he loves you. I can tell by the look in his eyes when he sees you that you mean the world to him. He used to look at me with those eyes sometimes. I could've sworn they told me he loved me, too, but things change and I'm learning to accept that. So don't be angry at me if I still cry when I see you two together. You've got to understand that I could've spent the rest of my life with him and wanted nothing more. You've got to understand that I looked forward to seeing him more than anything in the whole world. You've got to understand that I never wanted to let go, but I had to. He hurt too much to keep. So take care of him, okay? He needs it, and even though it kills me to say this... He needs you, too.

05.

I hope someday you’ll find all my quotes, all my words, and read them all. I hope you’ll know that they’re about you, and when you read them, I hope that at least a single tear will run down your pretty face.

06.

They say that everyone has a reason to wake up in the morning and that reason keeps them going. But what happens when you don't have a reason anymore and you can't even remember why you bother waking up?

07.

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.

08.

It just sucks because every time I turn around
there's some stupid memory of you that I'm reminded of.

09.

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

10.

Okay, here it is, your choice... it's simple, her or me, and I'm sure she is really great. But, I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me, choose me, love me.

11.

You don't realize how much it means to me when you say that you remember.

12.

I am finished with you. Look in my eyes, you're killing me. Killing me. All I wanted was you.
-30 Seconds to Mars

13.

So, hi. This is me. A human being, in all of my frailty.
laying myself out for you, that we might walk through this beautiful,
awful, strange thing we call life, together.
-To Write Love On Her Arms.

14.

It's just complicated. I want everything from you. But really, I'd be satisfied with a smile.

15.

According to Greek mytholgy, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. Fearing their powers, Zeus split them into two parts; condemning them to spend the rest of their lives in search of their other halves.

16.

Strange how a single conversation can change you. Or maybe it only seems that way in retrospect. A year passes and you know you feel differently, but you’re not sure what or why or how, so your mind casts back for something that might give that difference shape: a word, a glance, a touch.
-Barack Obama

17.

It made me wonder how many times we forgive just because we don't want to lose someone, even if they don't deserve our forgiveness.

18.

It's like one of those old fashioned movies. It's coming to an end and everyone's screaming at the screen:"TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM." But you can't.

19.

I'm sitting here trying my hardest not to look your way. Not because I don't want to see you, I just know that when I look up, you won't be looking back.

20.

If you have to try and convince yourself you don't care about someone,
you care about them more than you think.

01.

I love you. Don't you see? Don't you understand? You're the love of my life. I can't leave you. But you're constantly leaving me. You walk away when you want, you come back when you want. You stand by everyone, but you leave me. So i'm asking you, if you don't see a future for us, if you're not in this, please. Just end it because I can't. I'm in it. Put me out of my misery.
-Grey's Anatomy

02.

Your picture is up on my wall. It's not even a good picture of you. I've seen better looking boys, but there's just something about that smile on your face that makes my eyes fill with tears. I've always loved that smile.

03.

One of the hardest parts of life is deciding whether to walk away or try harder.

04.

I cant really offer you much; but I can offer you that empty
spot of carpet right next to me. I can offer you late nights
of you and I sitting together. I can share with you my mind,
my words, and my music. And maybe it'll move you, like you move me.

05.

You wrapped your arms around me, pressing your body against mine. And in that moment of perfection, I knew we were meant to be.
I never wanted you to let go of me.

06.

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone,
you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

07.

You do this every time. Every time! Do you have some sort of radar? Like, "Oh, she might be happy. It's time to sweep in and shit all over it!"

08.

I miss the sound of your voice; the loudest thing in my head.

09.

Because sometimes it’s easier to say, "I hate you," than "I miss you, I wish we didn’t fight; I wish you would call me sometimes."

10.

I hate admitting this to myself, but I know that I need you more than you need me and I'm not sure if I'm okay with that.

01.

Just when I think I'm close enough, you take a step backwards.

02.

Forget the air. I'll breathe you instead.

03.

People say that the bad memories cause the most pain. But actually it’s the good ones that drive you insane.

04.

And now every time someone ruffles your hair or asks you to dance, every time the full moon is out,
and every time the sun paints the sky, he'll be all that's on your mind.

05.

We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
-Fredrick Koeing

06.

With my fingertips, I trace on your bare skin all of the things I'd like to say but cannot speak. You mean everything. There are not quite words enough to tell you all the things that you've become for me.

07.

Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you, and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. But life is about who you love. And who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise.

08.

Sometimes it takes hundreds of miles and hours of quiet bus rides to make you remember how much you love someone. I can't sleep. And I miss you. And the city and I haven't been breathing the same. It's never easy, regardless of the season.

09.

"A man who wants to make a relationship work will move mountains to
keep the woman he loves. If he's not calling you to tell you
he loves you and wants you back, it should only be because
he's showing up at your new residence to do it in person...
If he's not doing any of that, he may love you,
he may miss you, but ultimately he's just not that into you.
Stop taking his calls and let him know what it's like to live without you."
- He's Just Not That Into You

10.

You fall in love with someone because of the tilt of his smile, or because he can make you laugh; or in this case, because he made you believe you were the one who could save him.

11.

"Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion."
- Jack Kerouac

12.

i hope you can't sleep and you dream about it. And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it. I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me.

13.

"I can't stay over you. It seems we drive forever but can never get away from here, just one more try. I'm guessing you are over me, I guess it's bravery. Because it's black out the window while you sleep in the passenger seat. So when it's always on your mind but you never speak of the name. It's in your blood and face and I'm certain it's fame. So I stayed out in the car because the weather had gotten to me. But its really these road signs and freeways that I cant take. This can't be how you live. It's like a ball and chain around your waist or this simple state. Your mind's sick again. I'm tasting nothing but 4 words, Please don't leave me."

14.

I see him every day, and I think,
"That guy used to love me.
He used to think about me,
used to stay up daydreaming about me.
Those very arms held me countless times,
and those too-familiar lips issued the very voice that made me melt."
I study his expressionless face as he passes by me, and I think:
"You can hardly tell anymore,
but that kid was my whole life."

15.

If what you're asking is how I debated whether or not to love her the answer is I didn't. Not at all. It just happened. I didn't ever question it; by the time I realized what was happening, it was already done.
-Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby

16.

People think dreams aren't real just because they aren't made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes.

17.

If you ever decide to go, I want a warning. You know, big flashing red lights and one of those clocks that counts down like a bomb in a movie? And there's a whole bunch of colored wires and I'm not sure which is the right one to cut but I guess the green one and then at the last second, no, the red one, then click, it stops with three-tenths of a second left but then you don't leave. Like that, okay?

18.

Tell him yes,” she said. “Even if you are dying of fear, even if you are sorry later, because whatever you do,
you will be sorry all the rest of your life if you say no.
-Love in the Time of Cholera

19.

Hey, I'm well aware of how lucky I am. Like, lottery lucky. He's like nobody else in the world. When I'm with him, it's like...it's like I'm split in two. Half of me is just on fire, going crazy if I'm not touching him. The other half is so still and peaceful, just perfectly content, just knows: this is the one. But he doesn't love me.

20.

Eat the damn chocolate cake, get your hair wet, love someone, dance in those muddy puddles, tell someone off, draw a picture with crayons like you're still 6 years old and then give it to someone who is very important to you. Take a nap, go on vacation, do a cartwheel, make your own recipe, dance like no one sees you, paint each nail a different color, take a bubble bath, laugh at a corny joke. Get on that table and dance, pick strawberries, take a jog, plant a garden, make an ugly shirt and wear it all day. Learn a new language, write a song, date someone you wouldn't usually go for, make a scrap book, go on a picnic, relax in the sun, make your own home video, kiss the un-kissed, hug the un-hugged, love the unloved, and live your life to the fullest. So at the end of the day. You'll have no regrets, no sorrows, no disappointments.

21.

"Just because someone's pretty, doesn't mean she's decent or vice versa. I'm not into appearances. I like flaws; I think they make things interesting."
-The Truth About Forever

22.

"I love you" means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you even when you're in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you're down, not just when you're fun to be with. "I love you" means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go.

23.

The truth is, I was afraid of the immensity of your love.
I just wanted you to know. You asked me if I miss you,
of course I miss you. It's all I do.

24.

What's not fair is that you act as if your life has ended. Be sad. Be angry. Shit, be anything, but don't ever behave so reprehensibly towards the people who clearly love you. Have your emotional crisis, but don't cut them out. Fucking things up once in awhile is inevitable. But how you choose to deal with those fuckups is not fated. You have free will, and be grateful that you do. Now. Move on, and find a better way of dealing with your issues.

25.

I don't want to remember you.
Because remembering you means you'll be gone.
Remembering means I won't have you in my life.
I never want to have to remember you.
