• You make me nostalgic for a love that hasn't even happened yet.
  • Great, real, true love should feel like an inside joke that only you and them can laugh at. No matter what the world does to either of you.
  • When I don't know how I'm supposed to feel, you're the only person that can remind me.
  • I chased my dreams until I caught them.

I chased my thoughts until I I stopped thinking. And I chased my heart until I found you.

  • And I must wonder how many times we have unconsciously, in dreams or nightmares, reached for each other's hands and never even known.
  • If you can take the sadness and despair the world gives you and breathe it back out as love and hope, breathe some back to me.
  • If at the end all this, we discover ourselves again and again, then you cannot look at me and say that any moment was wasted, that any teardrop didn't matter.
  • If you find them, tell them all you have said and heard before you found them.

Tell them what rules you invented for yourself along the way. Explain how you could never do certain things and how jealous you are of them, for being able to do them.

Tell them how happy you are that now, you can do those things, because they're there.

Tell them about the first thing that made you smile and the last thing that made you cry.

If you find them, tell them everything.

  • If you ever wake up, and think that no one needs you, I need you.

If you ever wake up, and think that there's no love, I will always love you. If you ever wake up, and can't find your purpose, I will hold a candle and help you find it. If you ever wake up, and don't know who or why you are, I can tell you. If you ever wake up, and don't know why you bothered, I will remind you. Please remember me, and let me give you reasons.

  • In your darkest moments, there are bright hands reaching for you and a voice whispering, "Please just open your eyes and see me."

Even now, I whisper.

  • I'll take care of you, when your world bends, when the buildings break and I'll find you straight lines that hold you steady.

Because you'll need to take care of me, when my world does the same.

  • I think there are two things everyone has, the one is The Great Sadness and the other is How Weird I Really Am. I think everyone has them but only some of us are brave enough to talk about them.

I don't know if I'm brave but I do know that sometimes I'm sad and sometimes, I worry about how weird I really am and if you do too, that's ok. We'll both be ok. We'll both be weird and sad and ok together.

  • When you love like the last good thing.

When you love and forget every important thing you were going to say. When you love and forget everything.

  • One day you will turn to me and say, "We have become the pronouns in the lyrics of all my favourite songs."
  • I fall into you.

I stand at the edge of you and fall into landscapes of you. Let me hit the ground of you and break apart on you. I am not pushed. I jump.

  • All I can do, if I feel this way, is trust that somewhere in the universe, there's a you that feels the same.
  • I don’t care if the things you say sound corny or like cliches because cliches are usually true. And that’s all that fucking matters right now.
  • It's easy. You just love me with all your heart and soul till the end of time.
  • It's no coincidence. I play that song around you so maybe you'll actually listen to the lyrics for once and know how I feel.
  • To find you and love you for all that you are. That's the reason I was sent to Earth.
  • Anything you can do, we can do better together.
  • So may you find in each other what you came here for. And trust that this is love because it is (love is trust). And tangled lives you may lead but into each other, never apart, till you cannot distinguish between being and being together.
  • You are the best parts of all the songs I love.

And there are thousands in the crowd outside everyday. And everyone's there. And they love me. And I don't care. Because they're not you.

  • To know you like your tongue knows the back of your teeth. That's all I want.
  • Sometimes I touch the things you used to touch, looking for echoes of your fingers.
  • Which is why you make me feel like a moth that's reached the moon
  • I couldn't convince you that the blue you see is the same blue that I see. But maybe that's how lovers know they're meant to love; they see the same blue. And they both know it.
  • I honestly couldn't care less if you like the same bands or you've read the same books. Tell me one original thing, tell me one true, real thing that brings me to my fucking knees that I've never heard before and I'm yours.
  • Let's pretend we're artists and everything we feel is something new to be proud of. Let's take our imaginary friends on a double date and ditch them in a movie and hope they get along while we kiss outside on the sidewalk. Let's take the dreams you mumbled in your sleep and paint a child's nursery. And if we don't finish today, we've always got tomorrow.
  • Making love was never about you and me in a bed. We made love whenever we held hands.
  • If you wonder when I hear that song if I wonder too, I do.
  • Don't worry, I heard you and I'm on my way.
  • I need you to give me the chance to take you for granted.
  • I would set up shop inside your heart and charge the world to love you.
  • I never stopped loving you. Because I never stopped breathing.
  • There are a million ways to bleed. But you are by far my favourite.
  • I pray you're ok. That it's ok. I pray all the parts of you that I remember are still there. I pray that you're happy. Even if it's not with me.
  • You make me want to drink water. Not soda. A salad. Run every morning. Get enough sleep. So when I end, I'll know I had all the time I could get, with you.
  • I spend most of my nights outside, looking for ways to make you smile.
  • There are days when I want to walk up to you and scream in your face

"No one else gets you like I do, now let's get the hell out of here."

  • As the ground shattered below us and the sky was ripped open above us, it became clear that all you and I could ever really hang to, was each other.
  • I would find you down the line with broken wings, pick you up, and swear that you would taste the sky again.
  • I picked up my pieces so I could help you pick up yours.
  • The dirt you and I could share forever would grow a tree so high it'd kiss a star, each leaf a promise, each stem a new beginning.
  • If anyone's going to break this heart, I think it should be you.
  • You were always my dark cloud that let me stare at the sun.
  • And strum my fingers gently across your skin, like I was playing the slowest love song in the world and only you and I could hear it.
  • I thought I'd found my favourite picture of me. Then I realised it was just because you were in it, too.
  • You're so God damn beautiful, I cry, before I begin to write.
  • I fell in love with the way you wrote. How you took the time to say exactly what you meant instead of leaving everything to those inane moments when we’d meet in the street, making strange noises with our mouths in the hope that they’d somehow convey how we felt. You and I were always better written down than standing up.
  • And then my soul saw you and it kind of went "Oh there you are. I've been looking for you."
  • Some will make a moment feel like forever. But the people who really change your life are the ones that make forever, feel like a moment.
  • I miss you sitting next to me. I miss you falling asleep. I miss carrying you to bed. I miss looking at the ceiling and listening to you breathing.
  • Everything will happen and will continue to happen as long as you're here.
  • Somewhere, someone knows the words to the songs you sing.
  • The wall is there because you want it to be there. It stops you because you want it to. When you're ready, it'll fade away. And reveal the dreams beyond.
  • I remember more the time we spent driving nowhere than the fancy dinner.I remember more the time we spent laughing and drawing than when we stepped on stage.I remember more the silence in each others arms than the conversations about how we felt.I remember more of what I didn't expect to remember with you.
  • We can't see it from where we are. But from above, you and I are the same.
  • You need to love you. If you cannot love yourself, no one else can either.
  • Across a park. A stolen glance. A lifetime of wondering if I'd ever see you again.
  • The hardest thing you will ever have to do, is wait.
  • The things we have in common will keep us together. But the differences between you and I, that's what makes life fun.
  • In you I see myself. In you, I see everything. My reflection.
  • You can have the entire world around you and yet still be completely alone.
  • I heard a song today that reminded me of you. And I cried.
