one.
Because these humans could hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire? I didn't know why I had yearned after it so desperately. All I knew was that, now that I had it, it was worth every ounce of risk and agony it had cost. It was better than I'd imagined, it was everything.

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 ; Jodi Picoult « )

three.
Perhaps this is how girls fall - not in some crime of enchantment at the hands of a wicked ne'er-do-well, a grand before and after in which they are innocent victims who have no say in the matter. Perhaps they simply are kissed and want to kiss back. Perhaps they even kiss first. And why should they not?

You have to know your own truth and stick to it. And
never despair. Never give up. There's always hope.

Some people say falling in love is a kind of madness
whenever it happens. If that's so, all I can say is I
would rather be mad than sane.
( » Postcards from No Mans Land ; Aidan Chambers « )

six.
It was sort of the pattern to my life - I'd never been strong enough to deal with the things outside my control, to attack enemies or outrun them. To avoid the pain. Always human and weak, the only thing I'd ever been able to do was keep going. Endure. Survive.
( » Breaking Dawn ; Stephanie Meyer « )

seven.
All my friends ask me why I'm so hung up on you
after all the stuff you put me through. It's hard to
explain, and I wish they could realize what it's like
to look at you through my eyes.

eight.
I gotta keep believing if I'm gonna get over you.
I gotta keep moving; I've done all that I can do.
I gotta believe it, and we both know the truth.
Goodbye Mr. Beautiful, you're someone I never knew.

nine.
When you feel your hearts guarded, and you see the
breaks started, and when the clouds have all departed,
you'll be right here with me. When your tears are dry
from crying, and the world has turned to silence, and
when the clouds have all departed, you'll be right with me.

I went from relationship to relationship, job to job, city to city, looking for some sense of identity or purpose, some feeling that my life had finally kicked in. I knew I had talent, but I didn't know at what. I knew I had intelligence but I was too frantic to apply it to my own circumstances. I went into therapy several times, but it rarely made an impact. I sank deeper & deeper into my own neurotic patterns, seeking relief in food, drugs, people, or whatever else I could find to distract me from myself.

The most striking thing about beautiful churches, to me, is
that they were mostly designed by people who were inspired
by a belief in something larger and more important than
themselves, & this is how I try to lead my own life.

Revenge is the confession of pain.

I was always trying to make something happen in my life,
but nothing much happened except all the drama I created
around things not happening.

I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics.
Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart,
or young. They're still princesses. All of us.

But she did love him. I believe it. I know exactly
how it is.To love somebody who doesn't deserve
it. Because they are all you have. Because any
attention is better than no attention.

Your heroes turn out to be assholes and the light in
the tunnel that you're chasing is a train. The singers
in key, the guitars in tune, but the song is slipping away.

If love is the crime, I'm down for it. If love is the
crime let love be the judge; I'll recieve the verdict.

Maybe it's the only way we can finally stand on our own. You
know, to hurt each other so much that we have no choice.

five.
It's funny how you can always tell when a boy likes
someone else, but you can never tell if he likes you.

six.
I asked you what it's like to love, break, and die all in
the same breath. You said it's like walking with silence
in December while a million hearts explode in your chest,
but you don't care enough to feel it.

seven.
Trust is a word all lovers know. The glorious art of
staining souls, my darling. We are not the ones to blame.
The more we have the more we want. And the more
if hurts our hearts, my baby. It always ends up in tears.

eight.
You didn't love her. You just didn't want to be alone.
Or maybe, just maybe, she was good for your ego.
Or maybe, she made you feel better about your
miserable life, but you didn't love her. Because you
don't destroy the person you love.

nine.
I hate being normal; but fear
becoming anything else.

Well it's getting colder and you're getting
distant, and I just keep thinking that I never
wanted it to be like this...

eleven.
Please believe me when I say no one else
could take your place. Can't let the haters
try and tear us apart, cause you're the only
one who holds my heart. <3

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.

When I looked into your eyes, and you
dared to stare right back, you should've said
" Nice to meet you, I'm your other half."

You were my cure and I was your disease.
I was killing you and you were saving me.

I didn't even care. Let them see what happened
when you let yourself care about someone. Let
me be a cautionary tale. Something good should
come out of my crap-ass life.

Love is the only house big enough

When she cries the makeup runs from
her eyes and it spills the truth about how
she feels inside.

Under the streetlight, dancing by herself,
she is waiting for a car to stop, a star to
fall, someone to change her life.

You be the anchor that keeps my
feet on the ground, I'll be the wings
that keep your heart in the clouds.

nine.♥
Is it wrong to assume that you missed me?
Because the look in your eyes says that you're
dying to kiss me. The touch of your lips is tasteful
and forgiving, a part of the past I don't mind reliving.

ten.♥
Back when a hoe was a hoe, a coke was a
coke, and crack was what you were doing
when you were cracking jokes. Back when
a screw was a screw, the wind was all that
blew, and when you said "I'm down with
that", well it meant you had the flu.

We are the middle children of history, raised by telelvision to believe that someday we'll be millionaires and movie stars and rock stars, but we won't. And we're just learning this face, so don't mess with us.
