"He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song,
I thought that love would last forever: 'I was wrong'

The stars are not wanted now, put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good."- From Funeral Blues, W.H. Auden.

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands- e.e.  cummings

You are all that I am holding on to.
You are all that is holding me back.

"There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love."
-Oscar Wilde.

"Sometimes you just need someone. Someone to make you smile when you're sad, someone to tell you you're beautiful, someone to look forward to seeing you everyday. Someone to call you every night, someone to say I love you and mean it. Sometimes you just need someone, anyone.
For me, most of the time that someone is you."- My blog.

the easiest way to lose something is to want it too badly.

Just for the record... Xanga celebrities make me LOL.
The world's gone mad. Absolutley stark raving mad.

Quotes, anyone?

"No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater...The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that's the key. It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot."- This Lullaby, Sarah Dessen.

"Because sometimes you have something you need to say but you can't because the words won't come out or you get scared or you feel stupid, so if you could write a song and sing it then you could say what you need to say and it would be beautiful and people would listen and you wouldn't make a complete idiot out of yourself, but all of us can't be songwriters so some of us will never be able to say what we're thinking or what we want other people to know what we're thinking so we'll never get the chance to make things right again ever." -Gilmore Girls

"Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment. Which is pretty amazing, when you actually think about it."-Just Listen, Sarah Dessen

"I'm terrified of everything. The past, and nothing living up to it. The present, and who's lying and who's breaking and who needs me to save them. The future, and whether I'll be like this always."- Mine (Credit if you take!)

"The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself."-Mark Twain

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."-David Viscott, How to Live with Another Person

"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."-Robert Frost

"It is a little disconcerting to figure out, that after everything I wished for so fervently and everything I prayed for so ardently, it all came down to my own self-esteem. My desire to be loved encompassed even my desire to be perfect, and in the end, it feels like I am neither, it feels as if both are just out of my grasp. And it's almost like the darkness is taunting me, because I can't sleep properly and I think about it all the time. I've learnt that no matter how much you love or trust someone, there's no way of guaranteeing that they won't abuse that trust, or hurt you, whether they do it accidentally or not. And sometimes, without knowing it, you can become your own worst enemy, and sometimes you need to step back and see that maybe it isn't everybody else that's the problem. Maybe it's just you, and maybe getting hurt was the only way the world could open your eyes.
Maybe loving yourself is the most important thing."- Mine (Credit if you take!)

"Lovers who love truly do not write down their happiness." Anatole France

"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves, or rather loved in spite of ourselves." - Victor Hugo

"For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'"- John Greenleaf Whittier

"If I know what love is, it is because of you"- Herman Hesse

“Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.”- Herman Hesse

"That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.”- Never Been Kissed

"Even if you think the flame has died, there's at least one lyric that'll hit that last hot spot, and then you'll find yourself as fucked as you were the day you lied and said you never wanted to see her again."-John Mayer

"Some of us think that holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go."- Herman Hesse

Currently Listening Avenue Q (2003 Original Broadway Cast) By Jeff Marx, Robert Lopez, John Tartaglia, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Avenue Q There's a fine, fine line see related

hello world, i think you're charming.

There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
there's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.
There's a fine, fine line between love... and a waste of time.

There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
and there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
but there's a fine, fine line between love... and a waste of your time.

And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore. I don't think that you even know what you're looking for. For my own sanity, I've got to close the door and walk away...

There's a fine, fine line between together and not.
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...
There's a fine, fine line between love... and a waste of time.

Luke: Noah, you didn't have to come back here; but since you did, can we not play games? I'm really sick of games.
Noah: Actually, that's why I wanted to come back and talk to you. I... I wanna be straight... (Luke scoffs) I can't believe I just said that.
Luke: Well, it's the truth.
Noah: The truth? The truth is that I kissed you.
Luke: I know, I was there.
Noah: You're right. It wasn't a joke. I kissed you because... I wanted to.

Noah: Is that why my heart is beating so fast?
Luke: Just breathe.
Noah: I'll try
(They kiss)

Noah: I love you. I am so in love with you.

[Yes, I'm obsessed with Nuke's story on ATWT.
We don't even get it here in the UK.]

Rory: [to Jess, on the phone] Jess, is that you? Jess, I'm pretty sure it's you and I'm pretty sure you've been calling and not saying anything but wanna say something. Hello? You're not going to talk? Fine, I'll talk. You didn't handle things right at all. You could've talked to me. You could've told me that you were having trouble in school and weren't going to graduate, and that your dad had been there, but you didn't. And you ended up not taking me to my prom and not coming to my graduation and leaving again without saying goodbye again, and that's fine, I get it, but that's it for me. I'm going to Europe tomorrow and I'm going to Yale and I'm moving on. And I'm not going to pine. I hope you didn't think I was going to pine, okay? I think... I think I may have loved you, but I just need to let it go. So, that's it, I guess. Um, I hope you're good. I want you to be good, and, um, okay, so, goodbye. That word sounds really lame and stupid right now, but there it is. Goodbye.

Cause I want you, and I feel you crawling underneath my skin; like a hunger, like a burning to find a place I've never been. Now I'm broken, and I'm faded- I'm half the man I thought I would be. But you can have what's left of me.- Nick Lachey

"I saw him, and it was like a cold day in August. It was unexpected, and it hurt, and I wished things were how they were supposed to be; not cold or hostile or numb.
Just me and Jack under the tree by the courtyard, me and Jack playing in the woods late at night, me and Jack drawing songs and singing pictures, me and Jack, me and Jack… my beautiful, wonderful Jack.

Oh God, it hurt.

I hadn’t known that emotional aching for someone could hurt in such a physical way. It ached somewhere in the recesses of my chest cavity and I couldn't sleep and every word I said came out hollow.

I missed him the way I’d have missed my right arm, I missed him in the way that looking for his eyes in the hallways became a favourite game that I always lost, and his picture on my wall became my only confidante. I missed him and I loved him, in a totally selfish way that said although it’d be kinder to let him go, it felt like too big a sacrifice to even begin to release me grip.

I found it hard to believe that he didn’t know; I found it impossible to comprehend that he could be walking around whole, when all I felt was empty and hollow and numb. It was inconceivable that he could be feeling okay, or fine, when I felt so entirely bereft. Love wasn't supposed to work that way, and it hurt so much, and why, God, why wasn't he suffering?

It was the hardest thing to realise he had meant what he said.
He really didn't love me anymore, and maybe he never had." - Me

You may not sing the right line, you might mix up the words,

but it's the most heartfelt lyric that I think I ever heard.

You constantly amaze me, despite what we've been through,

so you don't have to be perfect; you just have to be you.
