“Perhaps it’s just easier to smile and pretend everything is fine, rather than admit my heart’s a little swollen from losing something that wasn’t even mine.”

I think if you let me, I’d build an observatory just to show you that all the stars in the universe will never shine as brightly as you.

Then I am reminded that life will continue on, regardless of whether I choose to board the train or stay on the platform.

By existing you are planting softness in soil that has turned hard. There is no need to surrender your existence. You are doing just fine by even existing at all.

I’ve been thinking about our forever, how memories fade but the light in our eyes stays.

I am no more the person that you left than you are the person I miss.

You achieve all your dreams by facing your fears. By experiencing the doubt and the disbelief and choosing to carry on anyway.

So I’ll stand here for you In the wind and the rain And I’ll be the lighthouse you need.

The tragedy of what could have been is nearly as crippling as what once was but can never be again.

I have been a little off balance since the day I met you. This is because I had never known what it is like to be perfectly aligned.

Love makes us both happy and sad and there is not a soul alive that has been able to understand why.

Is that why you play the music so loud? A beat to drown out the thoughts, sound so high you cannot think, lyrics so close to home you don’t even blink.

I am the universe, and every possibility belongs to me.

You will always be my destination, my home, my whole heart.

Listen as I promise, you deserve everything, especially to love again.

She is the kind of girl who makes the smallest moments seem like your greatest adventure.

We should kiss. Not because you passed my way by chance but because you stopped and I haven’t been the same since.
