Sixty-one,

If you hold back feelings because you're afraid of getting hurt, you end up hurting, anyway.
We don’t talk for days and I promise myself I’m mad at you but then you call, or text, and just like that, I don’t care how long its been as long as we're talking.

The static clears; I'm elated.
A corner of your heart is gated.
Sometimes you love, you learn, and you move on. And that’s okay.
Love is the condition in which the happiness
of another person is essential to your own.
I never knew until that moment what it
was like to lose something I never really had.

I like to see people reunited. I like to see people run to each other.
I like the kissing and the crying. I like the impatience. The ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change.
I like the hugging, the bringing together, and the end of missing someone.
It's hard to watch people change right in front of you. But the worst part is remembering who they used to be.

My heart stopped. It just stopped beating. & for the first time in my life, I had that feeling. You know, like the world is moving all around you, all beneath you, all inside you, & you're floating.
Floating in midair. & the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person's eyes. They're connected to yours by some invisible physical force, & they hold you fast while the rest of the world swirls & twirls & falls completely away.

Because the truth is, I can't picture a time I wasn't in love with you.
I always knew you were the one who could look into my eyes & see into my soul.
1 There's something about the look in your eyes,
Something I noticed when the light was just right.
It reminded me twice that I was alive
And it reminded me that you're so worth the fight.
If people talk about you behind your back,
it's because you're already ahead of them.
Love the heart that hurts you, but never hurt the heart that loves you.
No one’s had the best relationships in the past. That’s why they end.

Two of the hardest tests in life:
The patient to wait for the right moment
and the courage to accept
that you've waited for nothing.

That guy didn't know you.
If he did, he wouldn't have walked away.



Missing someone isn't about how long it's been since you've seen them last or the amount of time since you've talked
it's about that very moment when you're doing something
and you wish that they were right there with you.

Well you have that boy.
That boy who you're completely over,
but you still think about before you sleep.
That boy who you avoid talking to,
but still wish he would IM you just once.
That boy who you have to make yourself not think about,
but always wonder if he is thinking about you.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be.

Yeah, we've had our fights and we've put each other through hell. We picked each other up when one of us fell. We'll always be together right, because I honestly don't know where I'd be without you.

The thing about life that I've learned is that you're going to get hurt. You're going to have emotional nights and cry yourself to sleep for hours. You're going to suffer some kind of loss. But you will also have those moments where you heal. Those moments are the best. You feel like you smile for the first time again. You feel like you're alive again. Life just kind of restarts.

After a while you get to a point where you get tired of trying to fix things. It's not giving up, its just realizing that you don't need certain people if they don't need you.
Most people would say, "you mean the world to me"
but the world means nothing to me compared to you.
And just because she comes off strong doesn't mean she didn't fall asleep crying. And even though she acts like nothing's wrong, maybe she is just really good at lying.
Missing someone is your heart's way
of reminding you that you love them.

Sometimes we just have to accept that some people are going to stay in our hearts forever, even if we aren't in theirs.
