True love cannot be defined by any means. It is a cluster of adjectives. It's crazy, passionate, complicated, painful - but most importantly, true love is real. It's that feeling of being inexplicably drawn to another person. Love isn't about finding someone who you can escape reality with, it's about finding someone who makes reality worthwhile.

&& I wish I could give my friends a reason when they say
"Why do you keep trying? Why don’t you move on?"

She felt the urge to scream, but her cry got caught in her throat. She wanted to cry, to show him how much he hurt her, but the tears wouldn't fall. She needed to end this, but the words couldn't come out. She wasn't strong enough. She wasn't ready to let him go.

"I've heard that it's possible to grow up. I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope, against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope."

I've been dancing on the tops of buildings at the top of my lungs, I'm singing you a song, "Don't you leave me alone." My bones were shattered, my pride lay shattered. Well, I'll trample my pride until the whole world dances with me.

Love isn't what your friends or family think; it's what you think. Love isn't anyone else's problem but the peoples in love. Love isn't based upon sex. Love is based upon two people who are exactly alike. Who needs money or cars when you have love? A relationship isn't perfect; it has its good times & its bad times, & when you argue, you make up no matter how bad it is. Cheating is forgivable, but if you love the person like you say you do, there is no reason to cheat because they are the only person you need. Love is forever even if you break up; if you loved the person when you break up, you still will. Love isn't about age; age is just a number. It's about how you treat each other, not how old they are. Love hurts & sometimes relationships don't work out & you will cry, but you will find true love one day. You'll never know when love is going to hit you, & when it hits you, it will hit hard. Once it hits, its hard to get back up again. Love hurts, but it's worth the pain.

It's hard to live, laugh, & love
when all I want to do is die, cry, & hate.

Because I love the way you're smiling at me. When you know it's true; I'm still in love with you. And I love the way you're really trying not to let me see you're still in love with me too. I am way too proud to verbalize my feelings & you are way too mean if you just let this brew. It's a complicated hand that you've been dealing; time to win me over, fold & make your move. Smooth some calm over this situation. I can't get past the way I feel for you. It's the little things that make this worth the effort. It's the small little insignificant things you do, that make me love the way you're glancing over at me.

So when August skies scream for the wind, will you remember your jacket for me to lay in? 'Cause the grass is damp and your hands are shaking cold. For once in our life we feel a little too old, So we will let our sins lay out on that last summer night. For this urge we can no longer fight. Now I'm a story writing in your skin. Leaving our past behind and letting our future begin. When the flicker of your mouth said "I love you" in the night, I look towards to sky to search for words I thought were right. I have waited 5 long months to hear that. Every thought is moving so fast its hard to know where to begin at. With the smell of grass and August in my hair, I look to the sky.
I answer you with a smile and say " I know, but why..."

Sometimes the strongest people in the morning,
are the people who cry themselves to sleep at night.

It's been a long time since I've been close to you. It's been a long time since I've been sad. It's been awhile since I really spent time with you. Wish I could take back the times that I have. The only thing that you ever really did for me is make me oh so miserable. And the hope that I never see your face again is anything but questionable.

Something always comes from the music, anyway. Came into my life, ripped my blues away. Oh, that stereo is my best friend everyday. Something always comes from the music, anyway.

[ thirteen ]

Want to know why I love you? It's cause you loved me, when I didn't love myself. It's cause you held up my beauty for me to see, it's cause you cared for me unconditionally. It's cause the first time in my life, I didn't have to work so hard at being happy.

[ fourteen ]

I sit and laugh with friends at what we've all been through. But I still catch my breath when someone mentions you. We move on, put those dreams away. Hoping that we'll find them come some rainy day. How could I know that everything would change? Except the way I miss you, come some rainy day.

Empty fields move me so much more than rooms filled up with friends. The way the trees look dead reminds me that there's more to life than living. Maybe giving up isn't bad, but part of letting go of yourself is better.

[ sixteen ]

Don't know how much time has passed. All I know is that it feels like forever but no one ever tells you that forever feels like home, sitting all alone in your head. Because for her, being without him was the same as forgetting how to laugh. It was that unimaginable.

I thought about telling you this, in the quiet of the car, with only the rain drumming overhead. But there are some things you don't have to say. Some things are just understood.
