There was a silence between them for a moment, and she wondered if all women, when in love, were torn between two impulses, a longing to throw modesty and reserve to the winds and confess everything, and an equal determination to conceal the love forever, to be cool, aloof, utterly detatched, to die rather than admit a thing so personal, so intimate.--Daphne DuMaurier

Don't string a girl along. She's liable to tell you what she thinks of the situation.

I want us to be able to live our lives and experience things apart from each other, but at the end of the day, I would want to be able to fall asleep knowing that our lives are intertwined in a way that only we can understand.
--Sam M.

Someday someone might come into your life and love you the way you've always wanted. If your someday was yesterday, learn. If your someday is tomorrow, hope. If your someday is today, cherish

You make me melt
like a popsicle on
the Fourth of July
-Little Rascals

its crazy. its like finding something you havent been looking for & have always wanted. there might be fireworks or harmony, but you just feel it without words or sparks. it can be a bumpy road & not always perfect. but in the end love is worth the wait

Love is... Love is being a thousand miles away - and still be able to picture his eyes. Love is walking into a crowed room of people - and know he's in the room, because you get that feeling. Love is when you're lying in your bed at night falling asleep - and pretending he's lying right there next to you. Love is when he walks into the room - and you forget to breathe, your heart stops for that spilt second, you get that rush. Love is missing him -before he leaves. Love is never thinking you could have these kinds of feelings - and have them for him. Love is more than just butterflies - it's indescribable. (erika)

it’s you who i have thought of when i am at
my weakest & you who have pulled me through
- Sarah Dessen

We'll turn this better thing to the best of all we can offer just a rogue kiss, tangled tongues and lips.- Dave matthews band

and it was through falling flat-on-my-butt in love with him that i realized the most important thing about first love: as deep as it is for you at the time, its only a teaser for even more amazing things to come. and whether first love ends dramatically or hurtfully or simply, eventually all the emotional fog surrounding it clears and we can see that first love is so special because its one of the few experiences in life when we follow only our heart- not reason, not "rules", not what other people say. maybe thats why we all hold on to our first love in some way - why we miss it or long for it, want to reclaim or redo it. because first love opens our eyes to that feeling thats everyones been talking about, singing about, writing about. it makes you feel like you've crossed over from not knowing, to knowing. with first love, everything is new - and the possibilities it awakens in you are exhilarating.

Listen to me, I know that its scary as hell to let another person touch that part of you, but if you do, its worth it

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives. -C.S. Lewis

love is when you tell a guy
that you like his shirt & he
wears it everyday

If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Oh sure, it seems obvious now, but you'd be amazed at how many people don't think of it when it's relevent. Seriously, just punch them in the face and go get some ice cream

anything worth while is everything worth waiting for

Sometimes a person lets go just because their fingers are too tired of holding on. They’ll always love you though -no matter what

Carrie: Sure, now that I’m with someone else, now that I’m leaving, it’s different. You know who he is?
Girls : Who?
Carrie: The Boy Who Cried Love, that’s what. Just like in the fable. It’s too little, too late.
Charlotte: Love? He said he loved you?
Carrie: No it’s – it’s – it’s an allegory. Look, my point is, he’s been doing this for years, years. And I’m done with it.

We don't know what can happen. I mean, the guy touched you and you saw into his soul. How do we know what happens if he kisses you? -Roswell

How to get over love: Say goodbye but never say hello again; Forget but never regret; Pick the pieces up but never fix them; Feel the pain but never keep it; Move on

If you think I’ve given up on you, you’re crazy. And if you think I don’t love you, then you’re just wrong.
