  • And All You Want Is Something I Can't Be

     You killed my heart just to see if I will rise above your anger and above your lies.

    Some people laugh, some people cry. Some people live, some people die. Some people run, right into the fire. Some people hide their every desire. But we are the lovers and if you don't believe me then just look into my eyes because the heart never lies. Some people fight, some people fall. Others pretend they don't care at all. If you wanna fight I'll stand right beside you. The day that you fall I'll be right behind you to pick up the pieces. I know you believe me when you look into my eyes because the heart never lies.

    "Sometimes I feel there's a hole inside of me; An emptiness that at times seems to burn I have this dream of being whole. Not going to bed each night wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing, I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me and I want to be seen."

    "He stopped. He shrugged and smiled- he was alive for a moment and it was the strangest smile she had ever seen: it held secret amusement, and heartbreak, and an infinite bitterness."


    005.
    She loved the way he smelled; she loved the rough texture of his hands upon her and the wrinkles around his eyes whenever he laughed. She loved the way he stared at her as she got off work, leaning against the truck in the parking lot, one leg crossed over the other. She loved everything about it.

    006.
    Graciously, she sleeps and walks alone on a lonely beat. She trips, falls into it all and I wish I bite my lip and call her away from you my little one.


    007.
    "And when I came in with tears in my eyes, you always knew whether I needed you to hold me or just let me be. I don't know how you knew, but you did, and you made it easier for me."

    008.
    She was giving the world  so much that she couldn't see and she needed someone to show her who she could be. And she tried to survive wearing her heart on her sleeve and I needed you to believe. You had your dreams, I have mine. You had your fears, I was fine. You showed me what I couldn't find, when two different worlds collide. She was in her room, watching from far away. She was given a role, never knew just when to play. And she tried to survive living her life on her own, always afraid of the throne. You're going to need the strength to find home.

    June: Time for what?
    Johnny: For you and me to get married.

    You don't love me the way that I love you
    because if you did you would not do the things you do.

    "I love her because she moves in her own way."

    "I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."


    013.
    In the instant their lips first met, there was a flicker of something almost electrical that made him believe the feeling would last forever.

    You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, seen centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... Made me want to turn away and never look down again. But to see the way that mankind loves... I mean, you could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So, yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan, is... I think I love you. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange — no gifts, no goods, no demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me, too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.


    015.
    You wanna know what the truth is? I still love you and I probably will love you for a very long time but I cant just be your buddy because as much as I enjoy the concept of being "just friends," in reality its a bizarre form of torture and I'm just not willing to participate in it. So right now what I wanna do is just move on and get over you and the only way for me to do that is to be not around you anymore.

    Listen to your heart
    And let it blow your world apart
    Then you must go it alone
    And keep searching for home
    Remember nothing's ever set in stone

    A philosopher once asked, "Are we human because we gaze at the stars or do we gaze at the stars because we are human?" Pointless really. Do the stars gaze back? Now that's a question.

    Love is like the wild rose-briar;
    Friendship like the holly-tree.
    The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms,
    But which will bloom most constantly?

  • Cradle to the Grave

       This post is dedicated to my very best friend. We've been best friends since we were born, literally. Our moms were sorority sisters in college and our dads were fraternity brothers. Our dads own an architecture company together, and our moms run a catering business together.

    We could only wonder how she would be able to dust herself off and start over again. Yet, we know we couldn't bear for her not, and felt almost optimistic that ever after all of her struggles, she would someday meet her man, her equal. A man with the same charisma, love of life, and humanity that she possessed. In the mean time, she'd have her friends and the knowledge that she deserved the world.

  • Love Story

    Turns out, I have the most amazing boyfriend in the world. I know there are some of you out there (male and female) who would probably disagree because of how amazing your significant others are, but let me be for now ;)

    He and I have been together for five consecutive years. We have never broken up, taken a break, or even threatened to do so, and we have never strayed. We started dating freshman year, even though there had been a flirtation and a best friendship there since the previous summer. This past summer travelled across Europe together, just him and I, and we stayed in a castle in Ireland for two weeks. Even though he knows that I love simplistic gestures that hold meaning (such as calling at 7 am singing one of my favourite songs just so that's the first thing I hear when I wake up), he will every now and then do something so unbelievably amazing that I think I am falling in love all over again.

    Thank you to everyone who commented :) I guess I owe you my story.

    So my boyfriend and I play this game where every time we end our conversations, we end it with a quote. It can be from a book, a movie, a TV show, lyrics from a song, etc. Just absolutely anything. It's not always mushy stuff either - the occasional line from "The Simpsons" or "Lenore: The Cute Little Dead Girl" will slip in. We've been doing it since we started dating. I honestly do not remember how it became a ritual or why, but it's something that I think is unique to our relationship.

    I walked into my room the other day and saw a fairy pinata hanging from my ceiling where one of my plants usually hangs. I have a very large room, so he knew that to open it, me swinging something wouldn't be dangerous or lead to things in my room breaking. He wasn't in my room at the time, I should mention. I noticed his baseball bat on my bed and it had a note on it that simply said, "Swing me. You won't be disappointed" So I swung the bat and broke the pinata. All of these little colored pieces of paper poured out of the pinata and on each one was a quote that I had ended our conversation with since the beginning of our relationship five years ago. I didn't even attempt to count how many there were and I am still continuing to go through each one. Each one was handwritten as well, so it must have taken him ages.

    I really do have the best boyfriend on the planet.

    Since I'm in a very loving mood, I'm going to create my own poll.
    What is the most romantic gesture anyone has ever done for you
    ?

    This post is dedicated to Taylor Swift's new song "Love Story" which I am currently
    obsessed with <3

    We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts. I'm standing there on a balcony of summer air. See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. See you make your way through the crowd and say hello. Little did I know that you were Romeo.

     izzie

    You were throwing pebbles and my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet," and I was crying on the staircase begging you please don't go and I said, "Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone, I'll be waiting. All there is left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. It's a love story, baby, just say yes."

    ryan and rachel notebook

    So I sneak out to the garden to see you, we keep quiet because we're dead if they knew. So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while because you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter and my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" but you were everything to me.

    Ghoststill

    I was begging you please don't go and I said, 'Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel. This love is difficult but it's real. Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess. It's a love story, baby, just say yes.'

    taylorweb_304

    I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around. My faith in you is fading. When I met you on the outskirts of town, I said, "Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone. I keep waiting for you but you never come. Is this in my head? I don't know what to think."

    large_love1

     He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring. "Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone. I love you and that's all I really know. I talked to your dad, you'll pick a white dress. It's a love story, baby, just say yes."

  • Eyelash Wishes

     Sorry it's taken so long for an update. This week was my first week of university - frosh week. So far so good. I think I'm going to like living in residence, even though I know that it is going to take me at least a semester to figure out where everything is and the easy way to get to them.

    Jenny was a poor girl, living in a rich world. She named her baby Hope when she was just fourteen. She was hoping for a better world for this little girl but the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. When she gets that call, Hope is too far gone. Her baby is on the way, with nothing left inside. Together we cry.

    I am walking on to the place of the light.
    And the things I see with the starlight sight.
    In the dance of the fires in the flames I see,
    Under raven skies she will stay with me.

    People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
    There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

    Guy: Jealous?
    Girl: Jealous of what? The only big thing about you is your ego.

    We're standing on the edge of something, do we stay or do we run? It's obvious that everything has changed. My head can't seem to figure out why my heart is full of doubt, maybe we're just tired of the game. I guess you never know what's going to happen so you do the best you can. Following your soul might bring  you back or it might have another plan. Please don't let it fly away.

    Cowboys ride into sunsets, the good guy always gets the girl. Cinderella has just fit a glass slipper that changed her world. We all know the stories, we all know the fairytales, we all get the glory for making it for ourselves. From the beginning we're all looking for a happy ending, every dream of winning, every love we've been in.

    No one gives you a guilty thought.

  • Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose


    Sorry it's been so long since an update. I guess I'm feeling like most other posters on here - unmotivated. It's summer and there's one month left before I leave for university so I'm just trying to enjoy it as much as I can, as well as save as much money as I can. I am not quitting this site whatsoever, though.

    She's been there, God knows, she's been there. She has seen and done it all. She's a woman, she knows how to dish it out or take it all. Her heart is as soft as feathers and still she weathers stormy skies and she's a sparrow when she's broken but she's an eagle when she flies.



    We all, we all wear dignity. It covers the strong, the weak. We all, we all wear dignity, even the last, the lost, the least. Step into a spacious place where pride and right will give way yo the least of these, to know the face of who a man can be.


     
    "Maybe the truth is, there's a little bit of loser in all of us. Being happy isn't having everything in your life be perfect. Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things."



    They say the sky is falling, are the angels coming too? I'm gonna catch them when they come, catch them as they fall.



    "Ruins stood for what was lost, and yet there were beautiful-peaceful, historic, intellectual. Not tragic or regrettable. Lena tried to keep hers that way too, and she succeeded to some extent. Why not celebrate what you had rather than spend your time mourning its passing? There could be joy in things that ended."



    And as she turns away his eyes lost in her back. His feet continue down some ancient railroad track. And right then, right there he sees that he's done wrong. And as he opens his eyes, realizes that she's gone.


     
    "She glared at him, feeling the o
    ld frustration. Sometimes in his presence she felt the deepest connection to him, and other times she felt completely alone-as though any bond to him was her own bitter imagination."



    A little boy, alone, he relies on fairytales and the moon is his castle late tonight. Smiling down upon our war, it's funny when you're far away. But Mr. Moon why are you laughing at me? You cannot blame us for lying to you. You cannot blame us for crying to you. Why you laughing at me, Mr. Moon? The wiser man roams the world, looks back upon his days. The moon is a wonder late tonight. Smiling from above our world, it's easy when you're far away. But Mr. Moon why you laughing at me? You don't need me. You don't want me. Leave me be while I sleep. You cannot blame us for lying to you and you run away, you run away. Daytime. But, the night just brings us back together. You cannot blame us for crying to you no, no. It's time we laughed at you, Mr. Moon.



    My love is like a blanket that get
    s a little bit too warm sometimes. I wanna wrap somebody in it who can hold me in his arms because when it got a little too hot in there, he was always stepping out for air and he froze.



    "Looking back, it was the thing in his life that shamed him the most: the times he was purposefully, calculatingly mean to Alice. It was those moments, and there had been many of them, that indicated to him that he was not a good person. He got mad at her for many things, but it was alwas really for the same thing: that she possessed his l
    ove and he couldn't seem to get it back. She didn't deserve it, which was to say she deserved better"



    Yesterday he looked at me with a tear in his eye and said, "I'll always tell you you're my friend. I hope I don't have to lie because it's clear you love another man" and I said, "You're damn right."



    I just heard the world is breaking down into bits again. Tell me what am I to do? And you just want me to stay here so I'm just gonna stay here. Home, the last resort. Build a castle with an iron door, lock the window, pull the shades, the hazed out sun won't help anyway. If the world is crumbling down, I don't wanna be alone.
