81 " If you are in love and the love is returned, be grateful. Because if you take love for granted, it will be overturned. "
― Courtney Peppernell , Pillow Thoughts (Pillow Thoughts #1)
82 " It will catch you off guard one day. You’ll be so surprised by it you may even lose your concentration. One moment you are living idly by and the next they are on your mind nearly every moment. You’ll lose sleep over the next time you’ll hear their voice. You might even find yourself daydreaming about a future together. One day you are ordering coffee every morning and the next you can’t even order coffee without thinking about ordering theirs too. "
83 " I thought about kissing you today and yesterday and the day before that. I know I’ll think about kissing you tomorrow and the day after that and some more days after those days. I think about kissing you slowly and tracing my fingers along your lips. I think about kissing you in your car, in the rain, on your doorstep. I think about kissing your dimple, your cheek, your spot. I think about kissing only you not anyone else just you. "
84 " Sometimes your body aches and you feel like lead and it’s easier to pull your covers all the way over your head and pray that you never wake up but it’s very important that you do. So if you don’t feel beautiful when you open your eyes I hope this reminds you that I think you are. Just try to remember this too In the moments you feel alone and every mountain is too great for all the answers left unknown and convinced it is always too late. There is happiness in this life one day these troubles will fade all your strength is in the skyline no matter how heavy your heart weighs. And some days it seems hope and despair take turns but despite all our sadness the sun always returns. I just wanted you to know that I’ll never care. How far you push me away Because when I told you that I would stay, I meant it. And a little damaged But you’re not hopeless I know who you are. I love who you are And that’s why I’ll stay. "
85 " We cannot all be artists and I must admit I do not know how to paint. But if I were to take a palette, all my colors would be of you. "
86 " I will stand by you in every new dayeven when people seem so unkindbecause you are beautiful despite what they sayand you are everything I've wanted to find. "
87 " There are little pieces of happiness and they are scattered through your day. So take a basket with you as you step outside, fill it up with all the little pieces, and bring it back inside. Take a moment, just by yourself, take out all of the pieces, and place them on your shelf. "
88 " I am sorry we are in different states and towns "
89 " My heart is not in my body;it's lying under the castle you burned down. "
90 " Time has no agenda. You can meet someone and love them right away or grow your love over many years. You could have known someone for eternity and they still could not understand your core existence, yet the stranger at the bus stop knows exactly who you are. Time doesn’t mean a thing. Of all the important things you must do today, there is none greater than showing kindness to your heart. For even the brightest make mistakes and the wisest do not have a thing to say. Be gentle with yourself, forgive yourself, even on your darkest day. "
91 " You’re covered in all these broken promises from people who said they would never leave. Sometimes afraid of your own skin and the scars that run deep in your veins. Are you ready Are you ready for someone who could turn you inside out? No one dares to peel back all the layers of your skin All this damage, you’re a mess. Are you ready Are you ready Because I want your damaged skin. "
92 " One day you are going to look at someone and say, “I survived.” There is great satisfaction in that. Even more if the person staring back comes from your mirror. "
93 " That’s the thing about people who are soft. Everyone else thinks they can walk all over them as though they won’t notice. But we do; we notice everything. "
94 " I think if you let me, I'd build an observatory just to show you that all the stars in the universe will never shine as brightly as you. "
95 " One day you are going to look at some and say,"I survived."There is great satisfaction in that. Even more if the person staring back comes from your mirror. "
96 " You are the freckle on my nose and I am the freckle on my back. We share the same space but we will never be together. "
97 " 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. "
98 " It's 3am and I am lying aloneBecause you just hung up the phoneWe've spent half the night arguingBecause you're there and I'm hereBut what else can we doI guess this is growing upWhen things don't work outAnd you fight to hold onUntil you realise that sometimesThe only thing you haveIs to keep moving on "
99 " As song writers, poetry has always played a special role in our lives. We discovered Pillow Thoughts, and it has been one of the most enjoyable books we have read in a long time!” —The Chainsmokers "
100 " I feel as though I am always writing my first draft. As though my life is a series of edits that I never have time to complete. "
