1 " No matter where my life takes me or yours takes you, I will love you whether there are a thousand miles between us or none at all. "
― Courtney Peppernell , Pillow Thoughts (Pillow Thoughts #1)
2 " Time is valuable. For all the time we've lost by not being together, it has made you the most valuable thing to me. "
3 " Perhaps it’s just easier to smile and pretend everything is fine, rather than admit my heart’s a little swollen from losing something that wasn’t even mine. "
4 " People should fall in love more. Fall in love with the way your coffee swirls as soon as you pour the milk in. Fall in love with the look your dog gives you when you wake up. Fall in love with the rare moment when your cat doesn’t ignore you. Fall in love with the person who tells you to have a good day. Fall in love with the waiter who gives you extra chili fries. Fall in love with sweaters in winter and cold lemonade in summer. Fall in love with the moment your head hits the pillow. Fall in love with talking to someone until 4 a.m. Fall in love with the days you can hit the snooze button over and over again. Fall in love when a lover stares at you for five hours. Fall in love with the stars when they look at you. Fall in love with the sound of someone breathing. Fall in love with the bus if it’s on time or the train if it comes early. Fall in love with everything possible. "
5 " But the world is exhausted, and the only wealth we have left is love. "
6 " The tragedy of what could have been is nearly as crippling as what once was but can never be again. "
7 " Is that why you play the music so loud? A beat to drown out the thoughts, sound so high you cannot think, lyrics so close to home you don’t even blink. "
8 " Be kind to yourself, the way you would be to someone you love. "
9 " If you were a novel, you’d be an adventure of sadness and happiness and love lost in between. "
10 " Before we begin, I’d like to share a story. Once upon a time there was a jellyfish. We’ll call it You. You became lost sometimes You could be a little unsure You tried very hard But sometimes it didn’t feel like enough. I hate to spoil the ending But You is fine You is still here You is going to make it. "
11 " You spend your whole life convincing yourself you are a chapter worth following, and then someone comes along and doesn't want to read the ending, and suddenly the whole story falls apart "
12 " Life is unpredictable, and I’d rather play every card as honestly as I can than have a deck full of regrets and what-ifs. "
13 " I am no more the person that you left than you are the person I miss. "
14 " I understand why people take flight from bridges, I understand why a girl holds a blade to her wrist, I understand why a grown man cries counting all his lists. What I wish for the world to understand is that in these fragile moments, patience and love are needed most. "
15 " Of all the tragedies on this earth, there is none more tragic than a person who cannot see their worth. "
16 " When you take a lover who uncovers all your flaws, listens to the very essence of who you are and embraces you rather than judges you, hold on to this love for a lifetime, as you will never find a love quite as pure. "
17 " I tried to stop loving youso I built walls around my heartand found other namesto whisper in the night.But you carved yourself into my veinswhether you meant to or not.And sometimes I wonderif you remember the way we looked at each otheror maybe you just forgot. "
18 " They say don’t fall in love with writers because their poems are messy and their letters are empty words dressed up to look pretty. But I say fall in love with me because underneath the mess and in between the lines is a heart too full of love that would follow you to any city. "
19 " Life is too short for games unless it’s a game of cards. Don’t text back right away; if you like them, pretend you don’t; and don’t you dare say I love you first. Well screw all that. I will text you back in three seconds; I will tell you that I like you; and if I love you, I’ll tell you every chance I get. Life is unpredictable, and I’d rather play every card as honestly as I can than have a deck full of regrets and what-ifs. "
20 " I loved what we had too. The only difference was that I saw it as forever and you saw it as just for now. "
