there's a difference in what we long for,
what we settle for,
& who we are meant for.

and maybe the best thing to do
is to stop trying to figure out where you're going
& just enjoy where you're at.

but the struggles make you stronger
& the changes make you wiser
& the happiness has a way of taking its sweet time.
life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride.

three little words
they were dying to tell eachother.
no, it wasn't 'i love you',
it was 'we belong together'.

"look, i guarantee there'll be tough times.
i guarantee that at some time,
one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing.
but i also guarantee that if i don't ask you to be mine,
i'll regret it for the rest of my life.
because i know, in my heart,
you're the only one for me."

you make me happier then i ever thought i could be,
& if you let me, i'll spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel the same way.

"i realized that none of my great days in life matter without you. you're the one that i want next to me when my dreams come true. you're the one i want next to me if they don't. as long as i have you, nothing else matters."

& it's allright if you're undecided
or if you're scared that you might like it
or if it's true, i ache for you.
there's no rhyme & there's no reason
you're the secret in the back of my skull.
there's no logic, so please believe me
our love's confusing, but it never gets dull.

pardon my while i throw up.
i guess some people never grow up.
what happened to the salvation you claimed?
it breaks my heart to see how much you've changed.

you grab my attention when you walk into the room.
it could be past midnight, & i'm still thinking of you.
i can't control these feelings you've got me going through.
i want to be yours, but that's up to you.

"in all the years we spent together, i never regretted the fact that i had chosen him and he had chosen me as well."

and if there's no tomorrow,
and all we have is here and now,
i'm happy just to have you and
you're all the love i need somehow.

"people that are meant to be together
always find their way in the end."

it's too late baby there's no turning around
i've got my hands in my pocket
& my head in a cloud. this is how i do,
when i think about you.

let's play a game of whose life sucks the most.
i'll win. i always win.
grey's anatomy

she may be confused about a lot of things,
but she knows the only time she's truely happy
is when she's with him.

when you're dealing with extraordinary people,
sometimes you've got to take a risk.

when it comes to relationships, people are always so scared of the what-if's that they forget what-is. they spend so much time thinking, " what if i get hurt? " & " what if it doesn't work out ? " that they stop thinking about things that are already real. they forget the feeling they get when the person they love walks into the room & the excitment that rushes through them when the phone rings cause it might be the person they are waiting to hear from. never let the fear of what-if stop you from letting yourself take a chance on love, because what if this is the person you're destined to spend the rest of your life with?

"i want to let you in on a secret. i'm not who you think i am. i'm the girl of your dreams masquerading as your best friend. i may not be the one you love today, but i'll let you go for now, hoping one day you'll come back to me. because i think you're worth the wait."

there hasn't been one day since you've left that i haven't fought the urge to put you back into my life.

i know in the back of my mind that i should just move on and try harder to get over you. i guess things weren't meant to be, but you're the only thing that makes me happy. whether it's right or wrong. and i don't have the strength to give up on that just quite yet.

"i love you & i probablly always will.
but we go days without having meaningful conversations.
& i used to miss you so much when that happened.
but it never seemed like you missed me,
& i guess because of that, i stopped missing you."

i need to be with him because
he makes me happy.
do you know how much it takes,
how hard it is to find someone who can make you smile
no matter what mood you're in?
i think that's all it comes down to,
being with the person
who makes you continuously happy.
even if it means waiting.
so i think i'd rather wait forever
than give up on happiness.

stop thinking of what could go wrong
& think of what could go right.

maybe it's not about the happy ending.
maybe it's aboout the story.

it's okay that you're with her.
i want you to know that it's okay.
i'm happy for both of you.
& maybe that doesn't mean anything to you,
but it means a lot to me.
it means that for the first time,
i'm not selfish.
i have put someone else's happiness,
your happiness,
above my own.

i just keep telling myself that there will be a significant moment when i finally know what to do.

i want him to be happy,
no matter what that means or takes.
i want him to find someone
who will treat him like he deserves,
& love him with all they've got.
i want him to meet someone who will see him
like i always have.

"absence makes the heart go fonder
but it sure mkaes the rest of you lonely."
Charlie Brown

"though we adore men individually,
we agree that as a group,
they are stupid."
-Mary Poppins

getting over you was the hardest thing i ever  had to do and i don't think i can do it again.

why did i smile when i hurt inside?
said it was okay when i knew it was a lie.

the hardest part of waking up in the morning is remembering what you had been trying so hard to forget last night.

"you and i are gonna be okay. you know that, right? we may not be as happy as you always dreamed we would be, but for the first time, let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is we are. and that will be better, okay? i think that will be better."

it's just a horrible, uneasy feeling saying goodbye to someone you care that much about.

you deserve to be with somebody who makes you happy.
somebody who doesn't complicate your life.
somebody who won't hurt you.

someone out there was meant to be the love of your life. the one you can tell your dreams to. he'll smile at you when you tell him, but he'll never laugh at you. he'll brush the hair out of your face. he'll stare at you during a movie, even though he paid eight dollars to go see it. he'll call you to tell you goodnight before you get into bed or just because he was thinking about you. he'll look into your eyes and tell you that you're the most beautiful girl he has ever met, and for the first time in your life, you believe it.

"you live in a world of black & white and i see little pieces of gray. that's the difference between you and me. that's what made me fall in love with you and that's what's tearing us apart."

you never asked me to wait for you, & i don't even know if you want me to. heck, i don't evenknow if i want to. but something is telling me that when you come back, i'm going to be exactly what you want, and you will realize i have been here all this time. and you will wonder why you didn't want ma all along. and somehow, that will bring us to our happily ever after.

in the end, it's worked out cause we both want it to. as long as you two have that, you'll be able to make it through anything.

he really does make everything okay & i couldn't ask for anything more than that.

you're right. i said, "kiss me baby-sweetie, kill the relationship with the person i care about more than anyone in the world, and make me miserable for the rest of my horrible life." that's what i said.

Shawn: you know, he used to tell me how wonderful you were, but guys always say great things about their girlfriends until they break up. that's when the truth comes out. you know, i've waited 15 years to find out what he really things about you. do you wanna know what he thinks about you now that you've broken up?
Topanga: no. shawn i don't wanna talk about him.
Shawn: now that you've broken up, he still tells me how wonderful you are.

how lucky am i to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

you said hello.
where the hell have you been?
i said i feel like i've been off to war.
& i may never be the same again.

you do your thing and i do my thing. you are you and i am i. and if, in the end, we end up together, it's beautiful.

but i guess that's just the way it is. and love doesn't always work. that's life. that's how it is here. but when you find love, i guess it's really beautiful. or at least that's what i read in magazines. and i don't know as much about it as i say i do, but i know that there's a reason why everybody wants it so much. it's the closest thing we have to magic, and i'm not giving up.

sometimes, you will forgive someone simply because you still want them in your life.

if someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. oh sure, it seems obvious now, but you'd be amazed at how many people don't think of it when it's relevant. seriously, just punch them in the face and go get some ice cream.

love wins. love always wins.

"it's like he's driving a car, okay. and i just wanna be in the passenger seat, but he's locked the door and i have to hold onto the bumper. you know, i'm not even asking for him to open the door for me, just leave it unlocked and say come in. but no, he didn't do that. so i'm hanging onto the bumper and life goes on and the car goes on and i get really badly bruised and am hitting potholes and it hurts, i mean it really hurts. and yesterday, i had to let go of the bumper because it hurts too much... it hurts too much."

"i think the easiest way to lose someone is to want it too badly."

i'm not crazy, i'm just a little unwell
i know, right now you can't tell.
but stay a while & maybe then you'll see
a different side of me.
i'm not crazy, i'm just a little impaired
i know, right now you don't care.
but soon enough you're gonna think of me
& how i used to be.

let go of what kills you.
hold on to what keeps you breathing.

i don't think you're leaving.
you're running.
& what i can't figure out is,
are you running to something you want?
or are you running from something
you're afraid to want?

& i'd give up forever to touch you
cause i know that you feel me somehow.
you're the closest to heaven that i'll ever be
& i don't want to go home right now.

i hope you;re doing fine out there with me, cause i'm not doing so good without you. the things i thought you 'd never know about me were the things i guess you always understood.

things will get worse before they get better. but when they do, remember who put you down & who helped you up.

i have hope that you will keep your love for the world even though it beats you down everyday.

do whatever makes you happy,
but do it now.
live life for the moment
because everyting else is uncertain.

maybe i wasn't asking you to love me. maybe i was asking you to understand. because for so long, i've been hurt. and for so long you've ignored it. and maybe it's bad timing, or maybe you just don't care. i've been here all along waiting, waiting for you to notice. waiting for you to care. waiting for you to say that you've been waiting too. and you haven't. and maybe you never will or maybe you're just afraid to. but it still hurts all he same. and in the end, i'm the one that's left broken. and when i lay down to sleep, i'm still the one crying. so screw the bad timing. i've loved you then, like i love you now, like i probablly always will.

J: I  was scared.
D: Of what?
J: Of going backwards.
D: That's what i represent to you?
J: No, not you. us. i started this year thinking that i had to say goodbye to you, but i was wrong. You're a huge part of my life- past, present and future- and i have to start getting used to that because, you make my life better, not worse.

if he's the one you want, the one you love
and the only one who can make you happy,
then no matter how long it takes
and no matter what people say,
you should keep waiting.

sometimes, we just need to get out,
get away & momentairly forget everything
in order to realize that what we have
really isn't all that bad.

to see you walk away caught me by surprise
i guess you meant more to me than i realized.
i wish i could go back, but what's done is done
so now i guess it's time that we try to move on.

blame it on the weather
but i'm a mess.
& this february darkness has me hating everyone.
& i need your comfort,
but this drama makes me sick.
& the longer i lay here
i know it's harder to get up without you.

"you don't know what you've got till it's gone. that's true sometimes. usually, you don't know what you've got till it's not yours anymore. you don't know what you've got till someone else has it."

maybe it's the only way we can finally stand on our own. you know, to hurt each other so much that we have no choice but to let go. maybe otherwise we never would.

"i have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silent hurt more."
C.S. Lewis

i can tell you one thing,
we're not better on our own.
i'm tired of running from my feelings.
are you listening?
and i won't go saying that we're okay
when we're lost without each other.

let's be honest.
sometimes, there's nothing harder in life
than being happy for someone else.

i feel lonely every single day of my life
but i'm ashamed to admit that
to the people who love me.

"i miss everything.
i miss talking to him, hearing about his day.
i miss hearing his laugh
i miss getting his letters.
writing him letters.
i miss his eyes & the smell of his hair.
& the way his breath tasted.
i miss everything.
i miss knowing he was around.
because it helped me to know that he was around.
that someone like him exsisted.
i guess most of all,
i miss knowing i would see him again.
i always thought i'd see him again."

somtimes, finding the love of your life
means changing the life that you loved.

i need you.
i don't know why
but every now and then in my life
for no reason at all,
i need you.

it's just funny that we used to be so close.
& it's the fact that you can't even look at me anymore
that hurts the most.

trust me. i know how i feels to cry in the shower so no one can hear you. waiting for everyone to be asleep so you can fall apart. for everything to hurt so bad you just want it all to end. i know exactly how it feels.

see, there's a feeling on the inside that says
i don't want you to be better off without me.

"do you ever wake up from a really good dream and just try and get back to sleep? or you have the flu and promise yourself you'll appreciate normal so much more if you could just get back to it? that's the way i feel. i just want things to go back to the way they were."

it hurts me so much & i'm not quite sure why i care anymore.

if you love something let it go
& if it comes back then that's how you know.
i got to the stop light
then i made four rights
now i'm back where i started
& you're back in my life.
the further i go the closer i get back to you
i say i've moved on 'till i'm reminded of you
can somebody help me
help me get out of this circle.

because for me, it's always been you.

i know you don't think you did me wrong.
& i can't stay mad for long.
keep a hold of what you just let go.
you're just somebody i used to know.

unlike her, i was there for you through the tough times,
when you actually needed a best friend.
maybe it doesn't
mean anything to you anymore,
maybe it never did
but it meant a lot to me,
you mean a lot to me and you still do.

"i definately feel a lot more comfortable with myself & care a lot less about what other people think of me because i've learned when you're in the public eye , people will take every opportunity to criticize you, whether you deserve it or not . every girl goes through that in one way or another . it's just a part of life . i had every insecurity a high school girl faces & i'm not saying i'm completely over all of that , but it's never as bad as we make it . i have so much respect for girls who are totally happy with themselves."

in the end,
we only regret the chances we didn't take,
the relationships we were afraid to have 
& the decisions we waited too long to make.

I don't know what it is. I just cry sometimes.
Maybe I'm just so oblivious
to the things going on around me,
that I don't realize that I'm hurting as much as I am.
so when the tears stream down my face
and I don't have anything to say,
don't ask me why I'm crying.
because I simply don't know.

"i love you.
you annoy me as much as possible,
but i want to spend every little irritating minute with you.
i love you."

there's been a lot of ups and downs, but ultimately, at the end of the day, that's what makes you who you are. we all know how to laugh, we all know how to cry, and we all know how to love. we all know heartbreak, but the world keeps on moving, and we keep moving along with it. and everything we expierience makes us realize how beautiful life truly is.

dont't pick up the phone, don't bother to look in my direction.
i should have seen it all along.
it's boys like you that make me think i'm better off home on a saturday night
with all my doors locked up tight.
i won't be thinking about you, baby.
forget everything you thought you knew about me.

"what happened to us, you know? I don't know who I am anymore. Or how I got here. I miss who I used to be."

"in the last few days, you've made me feel alive.
you made me feel beautiful & intelligent & wanted.
& no matter how hard i try,
i'll never be able to tell you how much that's meant to me."

boy, i miss your smile.
but i miss mine even more.

because he has been a major part of your life, of course you'll miss him; it's perfectly normal. it's like getting a tooth pulled out; after the dentist pulls it out you're relieved. but how many times does your tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was? probably a hundred times a day. just because it was hurting you does not mean you don't notice it. it leaves a gap, & sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. it's going to take awhile, but it takes time. should you have kept the tooth? no, because it was causing you pain. pulling the tooth was the right decision, but it's going to hurt.

everything's changing now that people are forgetting who they are.
everyone wants to fit in
& when they finally get the chance to,
they leave the people they care about
for the people that don't care about them.

you can always tell when two people are best friends
cause they’re always having way more fun than
it makes sense for them to be having.
