You should’ve loved me truthfully instead of filling my head with broken promises. You should’ve loved me boldly, instead of picking at everything that was wrong with us. You should’ve loved me honestly, instead of giving me false hope every damn day.

Someday, you are going to find someone who holds your hand through the good and the bad. Someday, you are going to find someone who has a permanent mark on your heart, and who recognizes how special and bright your heart is.

Life is made for falling in love. For the tender touch of a hand that you want to hold for the rest of your life. Life is made for messed up sheets and delicious touches that send fireworks up your spine. Life is made for saying ‘I love you’ and not being scared of the response you’ll get back.

You get intense hot flashes. Because the anxiety can be so intense, you sometimes will feel like every bone in your body is on fire.

You missed out on
the masterpiece of you and me
when you said goodbye.

On the days you miss him
say goodbye to all that you lost, but
don’t forget to say hello to what you have.

The day you leave her, don’t look back on your rearview mirror as you pull away. She will be standing in her driveway trying to hold her heart together.

A kiss can say a lot about two people and their feelings towards one another. If you kiss him and feel absolutely numb, he may not be the perfect person for you.

You will get heartbroken again. And just like the first time, you will survive it.

Dogs love only two things more than they love you: playing fetch and food.

All it takes is a glance. A simple ‘hello’. All it takes is a flutter of a heart or a handshake that feels so much like a kiss.

Isn’t it cruel how time seems to change everything except for our love affair with the past.
