" I don’t know if I can accept that it was all a waste of time, though. That all this pain was for nothing. That what we had was never real.”
“Aren’t you listening, doofus? Love doesn’t need to last a lifetime for it to be real. You can’t judge the quality of a love by the length of time it lasts. Everything dies, love included. Sometimes it dies with the person, sometimes it dies on its own. The greatest love story ever told doesn’t have to be about two people who spent their whole life together. It might be about a love that lasted two weeks or two months or two years, but burned brighter and hotter and more brilliantly than any other love before or after. Don’t mourn a failed love; there’s no such thing. All love is equal in the brain.”
“Doesn’t stop from hurting. "
