thinking term
And I, who have never thought in terms of a life, think to myself that I could make a life out of this.
love-you mean games
They never played games with each other, they never had tow worry where they stood, because if either of them had a moment of wavering, the other would say I love you and would mean it and all doubts were forgiven because in this one case it was found that love conquers all.

Her mind is an unquiet one, words and thoughts and impulses constantly crashing into each other.

You know what happens to girls who loves lost boys? They become lost themselves.
mean hearing intimate
There is something so intimate about saying the truth out loud. There is something so intimate about hearing the truth said. There is something so intimate about sharing the truth, even if you are not entirely sure what it means.

Once the storm comes out, the landscape changes. What you had before is altered in some way. And you have a choice: build something new and better from what is left or abandon it.
song book cities
I will never have a photograph of her to carry around in my pocket. I will never have a letter in her handwriting, or a scrap-book of everything we've done. I will never share an apartment with her in the city. I will never know if we are listening to the same song at the same time. We will not grow old together. I will not be the person she calls when she's in trouble. She will not be the person I call when I have stories to tell. I will never be able to keep anything she's given to me.

Beauty comes naturally, but it's hard to be stunning by accident.

You're giving up. You're slipping into being miserable and if you are being miserable, then it's all about you again. But it's not all about you. Love doesn't work that way.
i-can
You are so close, and I can’t reach you.
real want knows
I am learning that a life isn't real unless someone else knows its reality. And I want my life to be real.
falling-in-love thinking when-you-love-someone
It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason. And maybe I've gotten it backward, maybe it's just because I need a reason that I find myself falling in love with her. But I don't think that's it. I think I would have continued along, oblivious, if I hadn't happened to meet her.
