When I was with him, I didn't have to be perfect, or even try for perfect. He already knew my secrets, the things I'd kept hidden from everyone else, so I could just be myself. Which shouldn't have been such a big deal. But it was.

I guess a big part of growing up is dealing with regret; swallowing your pride. There are some things in life you can`t go back & change, no matter how much you want to
003.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past,
you cant go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

He`s that guy that you would want to hang out with even if you weren`t dating him. & he`s cute in that kinda way that`s sorta like.. you know in the movies, that guy you want the girl to end up with that everybody pretends isn`t cute, but he really is.

It`s sad how some of us live so far in the past & refuse to move on. It`s sad how so many of us try to move on, but can`t & just go back to the past. It`s sad how many of us finally do move on, get hurt, & go right back into the past.

Nobody wants to hear this, but sometimes the person you want most, is the person you`re best without.

I think your heart grows back bigger. You know.. once it gets the crap beaten out of it.

It`s those moments when you drive around in a car full of friends around a town too small for you. Where you gasp for beath between each laugh. It`s about those moments where you get high off of just breathing in so deep, you feel your lungs getting cold. For a second, that split second, you don`t care. You don`t care about school, about parents, about money, about rules, or broken hearts. Who you care about are the kids sitting next to you.

Sometimes I want to take my fist & punch him right in the face & yet at the same time, I want to hold him close & never let go.

You be the prince and I'll be the princess. It's a love story ... baby just say yes <3.
011.
I wish that I could make you understand
that I'm not angry with you. A little bitter,
maybe, and clearly still heartbroken.
but darling, I could never hate you.
012.
I have this fear that one day
you'll finally get a good look
at me & I'm going to disappoint
you cause you'll see that I'm not
as strong or as good as you
think I am. & I'm afraid that it
will change the way you think about me.

Because he has been a major part of your life,
of course you'll miss him; it's perfectly normal.
It's like getting a tooth pulled out; after the dentist
pulls it out you're relieved. But how many times
does your tongue run itself over the spot where
the tooth once was? Probably a hundred times a day.
Just because it was hurting you does not mean
you don't notice it. It leaves a gap, & sometimes
you see yourself missing it terribly. It's going to take
awhile, but it takes time. Should you have kept the
tooth? No, because it was causing you pain.
Pulling the tooth was the right decision,
but it's going to hurt.

to offer a girl friendship when love is in her heart
is like giving a loaf of bread
to one who’s dying of thirst
015.
He`ll only break your heart, it`s a fact.
& even though I warn you, even though I
guarantee you that the boy will only hurt
you terribly, you`ll still pursue him,
ain`t love grand?
