Misc Love 27...

Every once in while, people step up. They rise above themselves. Sometimes, they fall short. Life is funny sometimes; it can push pretty hard, but if you look close enough, you find hope , in the words of children, in the bars of a song, in the eyes of someone you love... and if you're lucky, I mean if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love, decides to love you back -One Tree Hill

You see, when you know what you want, you know what you want...at least you should.  If you don't know that you want it, then it probably isn't for you. -A. Canady

The only way to appreciate something's value is to distance yourself from it for a while -Megan McCafferty, Charmed Thirds

I'm falling back to you after all that we've been through

We sort of resemble those silent movies, we never say anything but the emotion is there and for some reason, words just aren't needed

Hope was a pathological part of puberty, like acne and surging hormones. You might sound cynical to the world, but that was just a defense mechanism, cover-up coating a zit, because it was too embarassing to admit that in spite of the bum deals you kept getting, you hadn't completely given up. -Jodi Picoult, The Tenth Circle

In first love the soul is taken long before the body; later, the body is taken long before the soul; sometimes the soul is not taken at all. ~ Les  Miserables

The only remedy for love,
is more love.
- Henry David Thore

I'd wanted to stay on that porch with him until the sun shone bright on both of us, but I didn't. I stood up and walked down the steps. I'd rather chase the sun than wait for it. -Markus Zusack, I am the Messenger

"Sometimes you're loved because of your weaknesses," she said.
"What you can't do is sometimes more compelling than what you can."
For a second, I felt hope for myself. But loving for
weaknesses seemed like a weakness in itself.
-Melissa Bank, the girls guide to hunting and fishing

Maybe it's not supposed to end up happily ever after . but for once I want to live in that fairy tale world and feel what it feels like to be loved.

I almost can't believe I'm going to make myself vulnerable to him again. But what is love but the most extreme and exquisite form of risk perception? I know that relationships don't last. And yet, with him, the risk of not being with him is much worse than any other hurt I can imagine. -Megan McCafferty, Charmed Thirds

We all can use a little hope sometimes, you know. That feeling that everything is gonna be okay and that there's gonna be someone there to help make sure of that.-One Tree Hill

I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool. -F. Scott Fitzgerald; The Great Gatsby

its one of those days
where the weather seems to be reading your heart
because inside you can never stay sunny for long
theres always clouds rolling overhead
and the rain comes about as easily as the tears

Dreams, she thought, were like soap bubbles. You could look at them from a distance, and they were lovely. It's when you stuck your face too close that your eyes wound up stinging. -Jodi Picoult, The Tenth Circle

No more camouflage.
I wanna be exposed,
And not be afraid to fall.
-Teddy Geiger

All love that has not friendship for its base is like a mansion built upon the sand. ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

there is so much hurt in this game of searching for a mate,
of testing, trying
& you realize suddenly that you forgot it was a game,
& turn away in tears
-Sylvia Plath, The Unabridge Journals

It's funny how one summer can change everything. It must be something about the heat and the smell of chlorine, fresh cut grass and honeysuckle, asphalt sizzling after late-day thunderstorms, the steam rising while everything drips around it. Something about long, lazy days and whirring air conditioners and bright plastic flip flops from the drugstore thwacking down the street. Something about fall being so close, another year, another Christmas, another beginning. So much in one summer, stirring up like the storms that crest at the end of each day, blowing out all the heat and dirt to leave everything gasping and cool. Everyone can reach back to one summer and lay a finger to it, finding that exact point when everything changed -Sarah Dessen, That Summer
