    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I choose to love you in silence…
    For in silence I find no rejection,

    I choose to love you in loneliness…
    For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

    I choose to adore you from a distance…
    For distance will shield me from pain,

    I choose to kiss you in the wind…
    For the wind is gentler than my lips,

    I choose to hold you in my dreams…
    For in my dreams, you have no end.”

    Ranata Suzuki
    “…the sad part is, that I will probably end up loving you without you for much longer than I loved you when I knew you.
    Some people might find that strange.
    But the truth of it is that the amount of love you feel for someone and the impact they have on you as a person, is in no way relative to the amount of time you have known them.”

    Claudia Gray
    “I meant it when I said I didn’t believe in love at first sight. It takes time to really, truly fall for someone. Yet I believe in a moment. A moment when you glimpse the truth within someone, and they glimpse the truth within you. In that moment, you don’t belong to yourself any longer, not completely. Part of you belongs to him; part of him belongs to you. After that, you can’t take it back, no matter how much you want to, no matter how hard you try.”

    “It’s painful, loving someone from afar.
    Watching them – from the outside.
    The once familiar elements of their life reduced to nothing more than occasional mentions in conversations and faces changing in photographs…..
    They exist to you now as nothing more than living proof that something can still hurt you … with no contact at all.”

    “Not only did
    I love her,
    but I could tell
    the universe loved
    her, too.
    More than others.
    She was different.
    After all; I would
    be a fool not to
    notice the way the
    sunshine played with
    her hair.”
