“I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart.”

Love is fragile. And we’re not always its best caretakers. We just muddle through and do the best we can. And hope this fragile thing survives against all odds.

In our time together, you claimed a special place in my heart, one I’ll carry with me forever and that no one can ever replace.

Listen to me, I’m in love with you. If you stay I promise there’s no safer place in the world than with me. You don’t have to be scared. I love you, please stay.

I want to wake up with you beside me in the mornings. I want to spend my evenings looking at you across the dinner table. I want to share every mundane detail of my day with you and hear every detail of yours. I want to laugh with you and fall asleep with you in my arms.

When I look in the mirror, I know I’m looking at someone who isn’t sure she deserves to be loved at all.

You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words, that matter.

Dreams are always crushing when they don’t come true.

Tell me everything. Write everything down. That way, we will be with each other all the time even if we’re not with each other at all.

It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.

Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that.

When her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever.

The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it.

Traveling has less to do with seeing things than experiencing them.

What it’s like to be a parent: It’s one of the hardest things you’ll ever do but in exchange it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.

We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created.

I knew even then how rare that kind of love is. Only the luckiest people get to experience it at all.

Hurt’s a reason to change, but all the hurt in the world don’t change facts.

Pain is a treasure, for it contains mercies.

Trust is important. But once a promise is broken ‘sorry’ means nothing.

Run at walls, break into new possibilities.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

Why should some people have such a hard time during their few years on this earth?

I’ve learned that waiting is the most difficult bit, and I want to get used to the feeling, knowing that you’re with me, even when you’re not by my side.

I’m so used to being used. So I love when you call unexpected, Cause I hate when the moment is expected.
