We could have been happy. I know that, and it is perhaps the hardest thing to know.
— Ally Condie, Matched
What if I never forget you? What if, all my life, when I meet someone new, I can never fall for them because they aren't you?
I’ll watch you fall in love with someone else and pretend I’m not screaming for you to choose me.
When your crush is a friend and very clingy but all you can do is act like any other clingy friend while deep down inside you are dying in happiness and hoping that maybe someday she will see you. Funny thing is she knows you have a crush on her.
sometimes it seems as though you feel the same way.
and i think about it a little and i can’t breathe, because what if i’m right? could you imagine?
sun-drenched kisses in a golden hour;
but what if i’m wrong?
i would never jeopardize what we have.
i couldn’t stand it if you left.
We never dated, but I can't get over you. I think about you every night time, every time someone else tries to hold me. I've gotten over 2 years relationships quicker than this, and I don't know what it is about you, about us, maybe it was the fact that we never gotten an opportunity to be as great as I know we could be, but god, I cannot stop thinking about you. The only way I'd be able to is if we tried and it didn't work, because then I'd know for sure, but right now I don't, so..
I'm heartbroken from someone who never even owned my heart.
you’re the first person i think of when i wake up, and the last person i think of when i go to bed.
it's an art, you know. loving someone you can't have? it's an art. it's a way to convince yourself that, even if you can't confess to them, you're capable of caring enough to want to wake up in the morning. it's a testament to all of the pain you've been through. tells you that the map you've followed all your life, with all of its twists and turns and roadblocks, has lead you right where you need to be: here, alive, loving. loving. loving. and yeah, maybe you can say it to them, those three words. you can't really mean it, though, and that's what hurts, right? you can tell them, "i love you. i hope you're happy and healthy. you deserve it." you can tell them, "you're my favorite person. i love you so much." you can tell them, "you're the best friend i've ever had. i love you." no matter what, you can shower them with love. pray they understand. and if they don't? the heart beating in your chest is a consolation, isn't it?
One of the most painful experiences is realizing that love alone is not enough.
“you. it will always be you. don’t you get that? if i had the choice between you and a million things i’ve always wanted, i would choose you every single time.”
