| He showed me that you can find the good in anybody if you just give them a chance- benefit of the doubt. Sometimes people disappoint you, sometimes they surprise you, but you never really get to know them until you listen to what's in their heart.
Now I don't like using words like forever, but I will love you til the end of today. And in the morning when I remember everything that you are, I know I'll fall for you all over again.
The truth is, there is no line. There's only your life, how you mess it up, and who is there to save you. Or who isn't."
-Mitch Albom
And so, while the rest of the world went on unaware, drinking their coffee, reading the sports page, and picking up their dry cleaning, I leaned forward and kissed him, making a choice that would change everything. Maybe somewhere there was a ripple, a bit of a jump, some small shift in the universe, barely noticeable. I didn't feel it then. I felt only him kissing me back, easing into the sunlight as I lost myself in the taste of him and felt the world go on, just as it always had, all around us.
There's a big fucking world out there. It's messy and it's chaotic and it's never what you expect. It's okay to be scared but you can't let your fears turn you into an asshole, not when it comes to the people that love you, the people that need you.
There were golden moments, in a golden summer. When every day was perfect and you knew it could go on forever.
- The Wonder Years
No one knows what the result will be when two people meet, and no one knows when they fall in love if they will always be able to stay that way; but to feel that at all, even for a minute, to find love and connection in a world gone mad, in my book, those are the lucky ones.
Love comes when manipulation stops. When you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
You gave me the sun and I gave you the light. You gave me the moon and I gave you the night. I'd do for you what you'd do for me. You can ask for anything.
But love, I've come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in things we do for each other everyday.
In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you, and take your grief and make it my own. When you cry, I cry, and when you hurt, I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods of tears and despair and make it through the potholed streets of life.
-Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
I think it's okay that you're the only one that gets me, and I love how I can't breathe quite right as you slowly whisper in my ear, "Beautiful, you owe me a dance tonight."
Before we met, I was as lost as a person could be, and yet you saw something in me that somehow gave me direction again.
-Nicholas Sparks, Nights in Rodanthe
I don't know what the future holds, but I do know how much your love excites me and how happy I feel when I'm with you. And from this day forward, that's more than enough.
Because I just have to tell you, I'm not so sure what I'd do without you. I know it's cold outside, but this late night is just no fun without you, and I just wanted to say thanks; you're the only reason I've smiled in days.
Wherever life takes us, I want it to be with you, or until tomorrow.
-Boy Meets World
I was thinking about how it drives me crazy just to feel your hand in mine and how simple that is.
So there's this boy. We argue a lot. He makes fun of me, laughs at me, laughs with me. He hugs me and he listens to me when I'm sad. He handles me when I'm mad. Sometimes he just gives me this look--the look--and it makes everything so much better.
Your eyes are brighter than the sun; they make me see that you're the one. Your smile takes my breath away and leaves me with nothing to say.
He's the type of guy who makes fun of me and when I go to walk away, he pulls me back into his arms and says, "You know I love you, baby."
He knew the exact way to put a smile on my face. It was nice to know that I knew I could trust him, too. There were no hidden motives or lies behind the truth. It was just what it was.
Someday you're going to meet someone who drives you mad, who you're going to fight with and laugh with. Someone who you'll do insane things for; someone, who is going to turn your life upside down.
Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle, rather a great reminder of just how strong true love can be.
I see something in you. Something nobody sees. I see yellow and blue; yeah, the sunshine and the sea. When I think of love I think of you. It's my favorite thing to do.
You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.
I didn't know your name, not even the color of your eyes, but when I saw you, I knew we were meant to be something great.
I was leaning on you, lacing both of our hands when I made up my mind that I wasn't going to give up on you, ever.
There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single throbbing, flashing moment.
-Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever
Sooner or later we begin to understand that love is more than verses on Valentine's Day or romance in the movies. We begin to know love is here and now, real and true--the most important thing in our lives.

She doesn't care if you call her and wake her up in the middle of the night. She hates arguing but you know she's good at it. She's terrified of the dark, but when she thinks of you, she smiles. She laughs at your jokes, even if they're dumb. She loves the way you stare at her and she wouldn't change it for the world.
I can honestly say that you've been on my mind since I woke up today.
He's the kind of boy with eyes that will make her forget how badly she's been hurt before.
You can see by the way she smiles around him, the way she smells his sweatshirt whenever she wears it, the way she counts minutes until she gets to see him again...she's so crazy about him.
Its the way you've got me head over heels for you; the way you get me...like nothing or no one else ever has.
You know what I love most about us? I love how comfortable we are with each other. I love how we endlessly pick on each other, but we never take the teasing to heart. I love how you laugh like a little boy when I tickle you. I absolutely adore how when I walk away from you when we are fighting, you try to stay mad, but then you run after me. I love you and everything about you. The look in your eyes when we kiss or how you stay up watching me sleep. I love how I can call you anytime I need to and somehow you never cease to make me laugh. I love how you need me as much as I need you. I love how you love me.
How does it feel to know you're everything I need? The butterflies in my stomach...they could bring me to my knees.
-The Spill Canvas
When you ask me what I see in him, all I can do is smile and say everything.
He's
not the captain of the football team, his guitar skills kind of suck,
he's not the hottest guy around, but he's exactly what I want.
So
what? Maybe I'm scared. Maybe I'm scared because you mean more to me
than any other person. You are everything I think about; everything I
want.
I think everybody just needs someone to believe in
them. Someone to think they're beautiful, someone to think they're
amazing. You need that person, and I can be that for you.
Don't waste your time asking why such an amazing thing could happen to you; just let it happen. Don't doubt that you could be loved, just let yourself be loved. If you don't believe you're worth anyone's time, then you won't be. Take yourself seriously and others will too. "Why" is such a wasteful question. Why? Cause that's the way it's supposed to be. That's the only answer you can have. Accept it.
I like cute guys. not neccesarily the hottest guy, but the one that's clumsy and crazy and always makes me smile. You know what I mean? Like he might not be Abercrombie potential, but he still has all my attention. No, not in the show-offy type of way, but in the I'm-totally-cool-with-who-I-am kind of way. Like, he can smile at me and I know we were meant for this, for us. It would be like, he wouldn't always know what to say and when to say it, but he would want to. because sometimes caring enough to try is enough. And for us it would be. He'd be spontaneous, always doing something I would have never expected would make me fall in love. The kind of guy that is so proud to be yours. The kind that has an amazing family that you feel at home with. You know, the kind of guy that is your best friend, but the only person you could ever see yourself with at the same time. He would love me for everything I am, for real, not just say it like everyone else always does. He would mean it and I wouldn't have to think twice to know he was telling the truth. And maybe we'd be exact opposites, but that would make our relationship great. Working at it. Because without the work, it wouldn't really be worth it.
A person doesn't have to be perfect to be exactly what you need.
Those random kisses on my forehead, and the way you smile everytime you see me..that means the world to me.
I feel incredible when i'm around you, and there's nothing that can compare with the way I feel when you're holding me in your arms.
I don't know what it is about you. Maybe it's the way nothing else matters when we're talking, or how you make me smile more than anyone else has. It could be the way you say the right thing at exactly the right time. but whatever it is, I just want you to know that it means everything to me.
I keep thinking about how much I love talking to you. I day-dream about you all the time, replaying pieces of our conversation; laughing at the funny things you said. I've memorized your face. I catch myself smiling again at what I imagine. I wonder what will happen the next time we are together and even though neither of us knows what the future holds, I know one thing for sure; you're the best thing that has ever happened to me.
"If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me."
-The Perks of Being a Wallflower
"I realized that none of my great days in life matter without you. You're the one I want next to me when my dreams come true. You're the one I want next to me if they don't. As long as I have you, nothing else matters."
-One Tree Hill
It's funny how you spend your whole life not knowing someone and as soon as you meet them you can't get them out of your head and every little thing reminds you of them. Just one guy makes your world completely different.

| Enjoy. <333
We'll take the long roads...off into the world where no one goes. We'll pick the right songs. Because i believe these roads were meant for us.
Love takes effort and acceptance. It won't always be a happy ride. You'll cry when you're hurt, you'll be sad when you're ignored. But hold on and always remember: Love hurts when it's real.
For once in my life, I don't have to pretend to be happy...it just happens when I'm with you.
The thing about you is, you're fun. You make me laugh and make me feel more alive. Okay..you make me a little crazy sometimes, but these are the moments in my mind that are crystal clear images of you and I and how we fit together, and it all just makes perfect sense. And I know what I want--I want time with you.
You make me happier than I ever thought I could be, and if you let me, I'll spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel the same way.
-Friends
The one thing I'm scared most about right now is that I'll lose the one thing that makes my heart skip a beat every second of the day. Having him there to hug, to hold, and to kiss makes everything seem so perfect. He's the one who makes me want to wake up in the morning and stay awake at night. I smile and laugh every second I'm with him and it feels like time just stops when he's there with me. I cherish the time I spend with him now because who knows if something would ever happen to break us apart. All I really want is for him to be with me for me, not for any other reason. This is the first time I feel that I cannot screw this up...because if I do, I know he'll just leave, and I'm not letting this one go. He's real, the one that understands me out of every guy out there that I've ever met or known. I'm scared to get hurt again. Too many tears lost, too much time wasted. I hope that he's the boy that's going to be there for me, always. The one who actually keeps his world and his promise.
Maybe we're moving too fast; I don't know. But for the first time in my life...I really don't care.
I was in his arms and he was kissing me, and everything was fine...more than fine, even. Everything was perfect, just because he loved me.
I've gone for too long living like i'm not alive, so I'm gonna start over tonight, beginning with you and I. When this memory fades, I'm gonna make sure it's replaced with chances taken and hope embraced.
With pennies to my name, I remember thinking...I can't sleep, but he's loving me.
I think we're doing just fine. This night couldn't have come at a better time. You need me right now, I'm starting to think I need you too. The darkness of this room makes me feel closer to you.
So this is it...the feeling I've missed. A subtle kind of pain that keeps me from sleep. I try to explain how your touch drives me insane. I can't spend a night without wishing I was with you.
After that night, I don't think I can ever forget how you made me feel and how hours later, I still have the butterflies from when you held my hand.
It seems lately you've become an even bigger part of me. Since when have I been this vulnerable? Since when have I lost all control?
He had one of those rare smiles, with quality of eternal reassurance in it that you may come across four or five times in life.
Any girl can look in your eyes a million times and still not get what I see in one glance.
I was starting to think no one wanted me, but now I can see I was just waiting for you to want me.
So how does it happen, great love? Nobody knows, but what I can tell you is that it happens in the blink of an eye. One moment, you're enjoying your life, the next you're wondering how you ever lived without them.
For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm doing something right. Because when I look at him, it's in there. In everything he does to me, it's there. I don't know what it is, but I know that it is there and it's never going to leave.
He laid with her on her couch with his arms wrapped around her. He said, "Babe, you are so beautiful". Later, finally, she remembered to breathe.
He looked at me, with the same look in his eyes as the first day we met. And I knew, right then, I could never let him look at anyone else that way again.
Pull back the shield between us and I’ll kiss you. Drop your defenses and come into my arms.
There weren't any fireworks or shining stars in our eyes. Just a boy and a girl holding hands and that's all they needed.
It's love. I know it's love. But I wish I could be better for you. I wish I could be what you deserve--perfection. You get angry that I'm so hard on myself, but you would be too. I mean, how did I end up with something so wonderful? How did I get so lucky as to end up with you?
I'm guarded, I'm fragile. But if anyone could ever save me...it'd be you.
He wants to know if I love him. That's all anyone wants from someone else. The knowledge that love is there.
I have this fear that one day you'll finally get a good look at me, and I'm going to disappoint you cause you'll see that I'm not as strong or as good as you think I am.
Your voice is the soundtrack of my summer. Do you know you're unlike any other? You'll always be my thunder.
| | |
| And though I know I've already blown more chances than anyone should
ever get, all I'm asking is that you don't write me off just yet.
I don't mean to sound so young and naive, but I think we've found something good.
Sometimes you gotta quit thinking so much. If it feels right, it probably is. So just go with it.
If you really love someone, you shouldn't have to work at it.
-Vanessa Hudgens
Love comes when manipulation stops. When you think more about
the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare
to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
The two of you... there's something uncanny about the way you are
with each other. I mean- everything. The way you look at each other,
the way she relaxes when you put your hand on her back, the way you
both seem to know what the other is always thinking, it's always struck
me as extraordinary.
It sounds so cliche, but I'm sick of waiting. I don't want to talk and
I don't want to listen. I just want you to put your arm around my waist
and kiss me.
I haven't been this scared in a long time. I'm so unprepared..so here's your valentine. A bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody: this world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful to me.
Love is not a maybe thing. You know when you're in love.
-The Hills
The greatest thing in life is finding someone who knows all of your mistakes and differences, yet still finds you absolutely amazing.
Love is love, no matter how old you are.
So this is it, the feeling that I've missed. A subtle kind of
pain that keeps me from sleep. I try to explain how your touch drives me
insane, I can't spend a night without wishing I was with you.
We got everything we need right here and everything we need is
enough. It's just so easy when the whole world fits inside of your arms.
It's all about the feelings. I just want you to recognize the
difference between what you feel and what's real. That way you don't
look back on life with a bunch of regrets.
I like the way my body feels when it's with yours.
I don't know. I guess I feel different.
Like I've always had this tendency to assume that change,
When it happens, can only be for the worse.
You know?
And lately, I kinda feel like that's not true.
Like whatever's waiting for me out there, may not be that bad.
And even if it is, then not knowing about it
Might actually be the good part.

| Getting what you want is just as difficult as not getting what you
want. Because then you have to figure out what to do with it. Instead
of figuring out what to do without it.
I wanted to kiss him. But of course I didn't. I wondered why I
resisted, when in the past I had always followed my impulse with not
much thought of the consequences. Maybe because it didn't feel like a
game with him, the way it had with so many others before. Maybe
because I had more to lose.
It's good to be scared. It means you have something to lose.
-Grey's Anatomy
