“They say you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone, but fact is, with you, I always did. Not a day went by I didn’t thank the stars or worship the earth you walked on. That is real loss. To know what you have, to cherish every moment, and then watch it slip away.”

“A relationship should not be measured in months or years. It’s the calibre of the memories that matter. Their impact, their permanence, and the degree to which they change you. I’ve had relationships lasting years I can now scarcely recollect, and hours with others that feel like infinities.”

“Fact is, relationships are complicated. Your feelings and the decisions you ought to make won’t always be clear and sometimes will even conflict. It is OK to feel confused and uncertain. Take all the time you need to come to the right decision. Believe me, the wrong one can ruin you.”

“Home is not where

you are from,



it is where

you belong.



Some of us

travel the whole

world to find it.



Others,

find it in a person.”

“There is a space in my heart I have named after you. I carry it with me everywhere that I go—the awful weight of what almost was.”

“If the person you love makes you question over and over if you are enough, only one thing is certain – they aren’t.”

“Stay. I know it’s probably the wrong thing to do. You and I have gone dark. We are dead in the water. And all we seem to do anymore is dream up new ways to hurt each other. Look, I’m under no illusions. I know this is the end of the line for us. The damage has been done.

We have fallen too far. But for a few more moments, do you think we could just forget all that? Do you think we could dim the lights a little and just lay here together? We have the rest of our lives to go our separate ways, misplace each other’s names, and become strangers again. Stay here for tonight. Let’s be messy and careless. Tomorrow is another day, let’s worry about it then. Curl up into our love. Hit pause on this awfulness. Stay. Won’t you? Just a while longer.”
