21 " RegretsTiming is irrelevant when two people are meant for each other. It's what I once believed.But we met during a time when I was such a mess, when I still had so much to figure out. How could I have known how crucial every word, every action was or how losing you would be something I would always regret?If only you could have met me now, how different it would be. How much I have changed. How I have grown. I learned so much from all the mistakes I made with you. I just wish I had made them with someone else. "

22 " Which is why I am not here to tell you tomorrow will be a new day. That the sun will go on shining. Or there are plenty of fish in the sea. What I will tell you is this; it’s okay to be hurting as much as you are. What you are feeling is not only completely valid but necessary—because it makes you so much more human. And though I can’t promise it will get better any time soon, I can tell you that it will—eventually. For now, all you can do is take your time. Take all the time you need. "
23 " Loving YouI saw him the other day. His arms around another girl, his eyes when met with mine - were low in their recognition.I wonder if he remembers what I once told him.I will love you forever.He had smiled at me sadly before giving his reply.But I am so afraid you may one day stop.Now all these years later, I am the one who is afraid. Because I love him, I still do. I haven't stopped, I don't think I can. I don't think I ever will. "
24 " I drew him in my world;I write him in my lines,I want to be his girl,he was never meant as mine.I drew him in my world;He is always on my mind;I draw his every line.It hurts when he's unkind.I drew him in my world;I draw him all the time,but I don't know where to draw the line. "
25 " Losing YouI used to think I couldn't go a day without your smile. Without telling you things and hearing your voice back. "
26 " The End"I don't know what to say," he said."It's okay," she replied, "I know what we are - and I know what we're not. "
27 " Thoughts of YouThere were times when I was with him and it was too much. Does that make sense? When someone stirs a world of emotion in you and it's so intense you can barely stand to be with him.During those moments, I wanted so desperately to leave - to go home, walk into my bedroom, and shut the door behind me. Crawl into bed and lay there in the dark, tracing the outline of my lips with my fingers - replaying everything he said, everything we did. I wanted to be left alone - with nothing other than my thought of him. "
28 " But as I sit and wait and fearand watch the hours go—Everything that happened herehappened long ago. "
29 " There are many words you never said,that others dreamed you someday would;each of us for all our days—will live our lives misunderstood. "
30 " Her eyes, a closed book,her heart, a locked door;she writes melancholylike she's lived it before. "
31 " Yours was the melodyshe wanted to learn;it clung to her lips,in silence it yearned. "
32 " Three summers passedof sun-drenched dreams,of snow white cloudsand you and me. "
33 " I barely know you, she says, voice heavy with sleep. I don't know your favorite color or how you like your coffee. What keeps you up at night or the lullabies that sing you to sleep. I don't know a thing about the first girl you loved, why you stopped loving her or why you still do.I don't know how many millions of cells you are made of and if they have any idea they are a part of something so beautiful and unimaginably perfect.I may not have a clue about any of these things but this--she places her hand on his chest--this I know. "
34 " I still search for you in crowds, in empty fields and soaring clouds. In city lights and passing cars, on winding roads and wishing stars. "
35 " Where are you?” She asked. “I have been searching all my life.” “Stop looking for me,” Love replied, “and I will find you. "
36 " I love you, I do - you have my word. You have all my words. "
37 " The Saddest ThingThere was someone I knew, a long time ago. I was so in love with him I couldn’t see straight. The saddest thing is, he felt the same way about me.It was easy in the beginning. All we had to do was laugh at the same things and love took care of the rest. I had never felt so connected to another person.He would always say it felt as though I was made for him. How glad he was to have met me. We were so sure of what we felt. We should have held tight, onto that certainty.There is never one particular reason why two people are pulled apart. All these years later, I have stopped looking for answers. I know better now, that love is never a guarantee. Not when you have the rest of the world to contend with.Sometimes you have to step back and look at these things from a philosophical standpoint. And I know loving him has taught me something about myself, it has broadened my understanding of the world. And if it has done the same for him, then it wasn’t all in vain. "
38 " I wanted everything because I didn't want anything enough. "
39 " I loved you more than loved allowed "
40 " I still search for you in crowds, in empty fields and soaring clouds.In city lights and passing cars, on winding roads and wishing stars.I wonder where you could be now, for years I’ve not said your name out loud.And longer since I called you mine— time has passed for you and I.But I have learnt to live without, I do not mind— I still love you anyhow.
