“What I feel for you

    falls somewhere between

the unyielding

   love and loyalty

   of true and lifelong friends

and the deliciously dark,

   indecent lust

   of a heated one-night stand.”

“My heart is not captured easily. I am

disinterested in small talk,

disillusioned with love, and too focused

on my dreams and aspirations to

lend anybody my attention for long.

But if we make that connection,

if you find your way into my heart,



I will fall for you like gravity has

let go of the earth.”

“Listen, a rebound isn’t the answer. The solution to a broken heart isn’t finding something else to seal the wound, but falling back in love with your solitary self. It is relearning how to enjoy the company of your thoughts, and trust in your capability to navigate a life on your own.”

“This heart of mine has

only two settings:
nothing at all or too much.

There is no in between.”

“Let’s leave this minute, wherever you like. We could sail the Atlantic, sleep under the Northern Lights, or lock a padlock on the Pont des Arts in Paris. We could watch the sunset in Santorini, or go fine dining in Florence. I don’t mind. So long as you’re with me.”

“Once a deep and powerful connection

between two people has been made

they become a vital part of each

other’s lives and there is no separating

them. No measure of distance or duration

of silence can prevent the outbreak of

smiles and laughter or the strong

desire to leap into each other’s arms

when they come together once more.”

“Today marks the day I return home to myself. That I begin the long journey that will be learning to trust in my own power again—to engage life, be light, and stand confidently in my own skin. And when I arrive, I will move gently through each dark, narrow room, and proudly draw back the curtains.”

“And you said,

‘Never forget me’ 


as if the coast

could forget the ocean


or the lung

could forget the breath


or the earth

could forget the sun.”

“It was a privilege to love you, and it was a privilege to let you go. Both helped shape me into the person I have become.”

“You’re important to me. I think if there’s anything that will last forever, it’s that. Whether we separate, stay in touch or rarely speak again, you will always be that little someone I really do care for, that I would sacrifice everything for to protect and keep safe.”
