I couldn’t stop the world from spinning when you left it quietly one night, I thought I would give up finally on this life, But then I saw the sunrise one fine morning, And I decided to stay here after I spent all night mourning.

A sparkling December has passed, and an upcoming lonely February fills me with fear.

I’ve never given my heart a chance to speak, ’cause it always spoke so quietly and the sounds in my life were so deafening.

We’re humans, though we’re not the only ones who feel emotions, we’re the only ones that get damaged by them.

I don’t like the way it feels inadequate, I don’t want to fill your head with words I don’t know if I’ll ever find the courage to say again and again.

After a while I realized that I was more in love with our memories than the people we had become because of each other.

He still makes me breathless, after all these years. I took a different path to avoid running into him, but every road leads to him in the end.

Ask people what they want in this life and see how differently they answer that question.

They say that everyone can fall in love, but not everyone can stay in it.

You’re ‘expected’ to swallow the hurt and the pain with a smile.

I keep hearing your farewell words over and over again, hoping one day I’ll forget how it felt to watch you walk away with your own heart in pieces and so was mine.

I’ll try to understand things you don’t want anyone to understand. I’ll try to understand you.

Compete only with yourself.

How dull would this world be if everybody looked the same? So “perfect”?

I hope you have the inner strength to face the battles inside your head and heart that you don’t let anybody see.

Here’s to all the love you gave and deserve but never got in return.

I’m the choices I made, I’m the pool of tears on the table, I’m the sad songs in your playlist

I think the bravest thing one can do is let someone love them.
