perfect lasts moments
I knew that it wouldn’t last. It was just a moment, a perfect moment, as time stood still and fleetingly everything fell back into its proper place.
tired pieces hanging-on
I was tired of hanging on, taking the torn pieces to make something whole with them.
believe way persons
If you have just one person believe in you, you'll always find your way
perfect moments believer
The thing is I'm a great believer in the perfect moment. They don't come around that often.
boys firsts hardest
The first boy was always the hardest.
heart pride my-best-friend
Best Friends. And I thought of what she had done all the millions of times I cried to her, collapsing at even the slightest wounding of my heart or pride. So I reached over and pulled her to me, wrapping my arms around her, and held my best friend close, returning so many favors all at once....
scar

He doesn’t love me. He might still love me as I was at fifteen, when I didn’t know any better. When I trusted everyone. I’m not that person any more. He’s just a boy. He was the first to really hurt me, but he’s just a boy. There were a lot of them.

hurt people kind
We were willing to do so much for the people we loved, even if it meant hurting ourselves. Maybe that, in the end, was what love- all kinds- was really about.
eggs broken trying
And trying to break it down this way, to minor and major offenses, maybes and what-ifs, was like arguing over the origin of cracks in a broken egg. It was done. How it happened didn't matter anymore.
crazy trying relax
So I just decided to relax into it, bumpy and crazy as it might be, and try for once to just go along for the ride.
stars light looks
