I wake up in the middle of the night.

My skin stained with tears.

I turn over only to find that you're still gone.

I can't help but wonder if you're laying awake somewhere, asking yourself why you gave up.

Will I ever awake to find you've come back, to feel your arms around me whispering that everything will be okay?

You told me you'd give me the world.

But what is a world without love?

This will always be one of my favorite quotes:

I'll tell you what love is: it's you at 75 and her at 71, each of you listening for the other's step in the next room, each afraid that a sudden silence, a sudden cry, could mean a lifetime's talk is over." -Brian Moore

This song reminds me of chilly, high school nights on my twin-sized bed. Hands clenched tightly, lips locked, legs entangled, hearts beating rapidly and the brightest of stars glowing through the bedroom window. Love was as real as it could get and his smile, his touch and the sound of his breath was the only thing I needed to get by.

You always used to always tell me:

"Everyday seems like a dream."

"And she combed your hair, and she kissed your teeth
And she made you better than you'd been before
She told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer
And she told you, laughing down to her core, so she would not cry as she lay in your lap. She said "nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer"

She said, "no one is alone the way you are alone"
And you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known.

Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure...
Days like that should last and last and last..."

i was a dreamer,

before you went

and let me down.

"So many people enter and leave your life. Hundreds of people. You have to keep the door open so they can come in. But it also means you have to let them go..."

Bleeeh, Bear

I see your face in my mind as I drive away.

'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.

People are people and sometimes we change our minds.

But it's killing me to see you go after all this time...

'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down

Now I don't know what to be without you around

And we know it's never simple, never easy

Never a clean break, no one here to save me

You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

People are people and sometimes it doesn't work out

Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out

Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I gave everything to a boy who changed his mind.

• you wake up one morning and all the motivation you had to fight for what you loved has disappeared. he won't notice your lack of attention, nor the empty space you've left behind. so you stop trying and you slowly give up, day by day. you leave behind the greatest story, the saddest story and the boy you once wanted to grow old with.
