My mobile phone quit as I tried to let my wife know that I was caught in traffic and would be late for our anniversary dinner.  I wrote a message on my laptop asking other motorists to call her, printed it on a portable ink jet and taped it to my rear windshield.  When I finally arrived home, my wife gave me the longest kiss ever.  "I really think you love me," she said.  "At least 70 people called me and told me so."

One of the worst feelings in the world, is waking up
the morning after he broke up with you, thinking
everything is still amazing and then remembering,
that it's not.

"His heart will stop at the sight of you, or he
doesn't deserve to live. and yes, i am aware of
the contradiction embodied in that sentence."
- Becoming Jane

i can't do this anymore

i can't live like this

 big 48 quote, 22 pic update for yall.

If you can promise me anything,
promise me that whenever you're sad, or unsure,
or you lose complete faith,
that you'll try to see yourself through my eyes
- PS I Love You

I said goodnight L.A, 'cause I'm awake in my room,

I've been up for 38 hours and it doesn't look like sleep's coming soon.

'Cause I can break like a bird or I could swallow the sea.

It seems like the daylight is coming and no one is watching but me.

There's a part of me that's going to be in love with you for the rest of my life.
-Dawson's Creek

Marissa: Who are you?
Ryan: Whoever you want me to be.
[ The OC ]

You are every reason, every hope and every dream, I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. And, my darling, you will always be mine.
[ The Notebook ]

because guys like you are the reason
they made waterproof mascara.

She wants to forget everything about the
times when they were together.
not because she doesn't love him --
but because it hurts too much to remember.

sometimes, you just have to take a step back and realize
whats important in your life, what you can live with,
but more importantly what you can't live without.
-- the hills

i'll just bite my lip,
& pretend i've gotten over you.

so what, maybe i'm scared.
maybe i'm scared because you mean
more to me than any other person.
you are everything i think about;
everything i want.

He just came up to me and kissed me. It didn't matter
who saw, or the fact that we were in the middle of a
crowded hallway. All he said was, "Sorry. I've just
wanted to do that for a really, really long time."

Desperate, I will crawl.

Waiting for so long.

No love, there is no love.
Die for anyone. What have I become?

me , classic nixon ;)

i'll grab the wheel and i'll point it west; pack the good and leave the rest. i'll find the missing piece. you said i wouldn't get too far on a tank of gas and an empty heart, but i got everything i'll ever need. i got this old guitar and a brand new set of strings.

It's not the end of the world. In fact, it's not even the end of the summer.
But thank god the TV is on 'cause there's no way we could know anything that’s going down
or how we're supposed to be feeling about it.
I can't tell you how much I wish we could shut up and smile.

Every night before I go to bed;
I turn on my radio and just listen.
I listen for the songs that remind me
of you and I; so I’ll go to bed
with nothing but a smile on my face.

Sometimes you just can`t tell someone how you feel.
Not because you don`t trust them, & not because you
think they will think you`re weird, but because you can
never really find the right words to make them understand.

i just got so hurt, really hurt;
& sometimes when that happens,
something inside just shuts off.

i felt someone staring at me, so i looked over, and its you.
the person i thought i could avoid forever.
the person i finally thought i could be able to stop loving.
it's you, and my heart flips like it always does;
because it's you...still you.

"I hate to be the one to break it to you, but rock and roll can't actually save the world."
"See, I disagree. Walk into any club on the strip tonight, and just look at the kids.

Look into their eyes. I mean they're all looking for something to believe in,

and I think that music can be the thing to change the world."

as I stand here looking at you,

I wonder if there will ever be a day when I will get over your smile.

when I will let go of the hugs you gave me, that I continue to feel.

a day when I forget the words you said to me,

but I know whatever happens to us,

I know I could never get over, let go, or forget about you.

it was more than love she felt for him. 

it was the feeling she got every single time his name was said,

or when he brushed by her in the hall or held her hand. 

he was the boy she changed for, the boy she would have
dropped anything and everything just to spend a night
with him. he was always the center of her world,
but she couldn't seem to grasp the concept
that she was never the center of his.

you can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks or even months over-analyzing a situation,

trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened..

or you can just leave the pieces on the floor, and move the fuck on.

No. you don’t get it. I love you. I do. It’s just, love isn’t enough. - everykissyougive

and i've got a 20 dollar bill that says your up late at night

starting fist fights versus fences in your own backyard

wearing your black eye like a badge of honor
soaking in sympathy from friends who never loved you
half as much as me.

There’s no reason to break up. All those unreasonable excuses; why break up when you know you still have feelings for that person? You’re just hurting yourself & the person you love. You know you still feel for them, yet you won't admit it. You don't love them anymore, you say? Well then let go. Why can't you let go? Stop noticing what they do or say all the time, quit glancing over when they're around, stop thinking back to things that they said to you or done with you. Cant? That’s when you know you're not over them completely yet. You try to keep yourself busy with homework & try talking to other people, but does it really work? If not, you're either stupid or you're dumb. Why? Obviously you still have feelings for them. Let someone know when you care about them; tell them if you love them. Tell them if you miss them. Chances don't come to you; you go find them. Trust & believe. If you think you have feelings for them, trust your feelings & believe you do, because you do.

What are we looking at when we're looking at love?
Eskimos have hundreds of words for snow, because they understand snow,

but for six billion different kinds of emotion,

we only have one word.. love.

Why is that? Because we don't have a clue.

being without you, well it takes a lot of getting used to
I guess I should learn to live with it, but I really don't want to.

You weren’t just my first love;

You were my only love.

My one and only love. – everykissyougive

At least three weeks of bottled up tears came pouring out last night.

My head pounded & my eyes hurt.

It wasn`t like I needed to cry for three weeks;

I have actually been happy for awhile,

but everything just built up too high & caused me to crash again -

just when I was starting to do so good.

AND WHAT EXACTLY iS A BROKEN HEART?
A broken heart is forcing yourself to hang up the phone after
you have dialed the first three digits to his phone number.
A broken heart is the cold shattering feeling you receive
when you hear his name.

A broken heart is when you are crying yourself to sleep

every night and yet crying more and more each morning.

A broken heart is glancing at the pictures of the two of you,

and then quickly turning your attention to something else, to avoid your tears.

A broken heart is screaming and begging for a second chance inside.
A broken heart is the emptiness and heart wrenching feeling
you encounter when you see him with his new girlfriend ..

A broken heart is knowing that no matter what you do or say to yourself,
you can't fool your heart into believing that you will in fact "be alright.". . 

A broken heart is listening to that one song that
makes you break down, over and over again.

A broken heart sometimes means.. not wanting to go on.

I’m better as a memory than as your man. – kenny chesney

and all i know is i feel lost without you. "i miss you" is not enough.

 Sing along, one last song. There's nothing left to do and secretly, I'm still missing you. - "A Story of Memories" by Alex Kaneko

loves it.

lucas:  i never meant to hurt you.
brooke:  that doesn't really matter,
because in the end it all just hurts the same.
-- one tree hill

i wanted you to fight for me!  i wanted you to say that
there is no one else you would rather be with,
and that you would rather be alone than without me.
-- one tree hill

Sometimes I have to wonder; did you ever love me like you said you did? Because I fell in love with you & every word you said & now that it's all over. Do you ever still think about me? Because I do. My heart is exactly where you left it. I try not to think about you because I know you don't. I try to move on because I know that I'm only hurting myself. I put on a fake smile everyday because I know that no matter how pretty I make myself look, you will never see me the same.

Breakdown. I can't take this. I need somewhere to go. I need you. I'm so restless. I don't know what to do. Cause we've had our rough times, been fighting all night. And now we're just slipping away. So if you'll give me this chance to make the wrongs right, to say, "don't, don't, don't walk away". I promise I won't let you down if you take my hand tonight. I promise we'll be just fine this time, if you take my hand tonight.

I know we broke up over eight months ago, but it feels like yesterday. Because you know why? Because I still can’t find all those little pieces you smashed my heart into. It still aches as much as it did the minute you said goodbye. And with every hello, it happens all over again. But I keep coming back for you. I can’t give up on us regardless of how long ago you did. – everykissyougive totally true.

It's those unsaid goodbyes and the
millions of lies. And the fact that you just
don't care. Hurt and regret, I shouldn't
let you get to me, but you do.

So now you’re going to walk away? Well, let me help you. I’ll shove these fake apologies of yours down your throat and pretend to care about your regrets. Will you do the same for me? – everykissyougive

i'm stretching but you're just out of reach,
you should know i'm ready
when you're ready for me
- Yours to Hold by Skillet

I wanna taste you one more time again.
I'm all over you. I'm not over you.
This life is way too short to get caught up
in all this stuff when I just want you to love me back.

I can't just sit here and have coffee with you. I love you.  I know the other night didn't mean for you what it did for me, but I haven't stopped thinking about you since it happened, and not because it was great- which it was- but because it was right.  It was so right, and you might not see that right now, but I do, and if I have to wait until we're both 80 years old for you to see it, then I'll wait.  I'm not going anywhere. This is it for me. You're it for me, and I can't pretend to feel any less than I do, I just can't.

I wonder where you are
and if the pain ends when you die.
And I wonder if there was
some better way to say goodbye.

everytime i see him, i can't help but think
"i wonder if he still thinks i'm pretty" – so true.

Wake up and smell the break-up. – taylor swift.

Break up.. and breakdown. – sex and the city

you didn’t love that boy too much

you loved him too well

and at our age some people

just don’t know what to do with that

if you didn’t love him.. this would have never

happened. But you did & accepting that love

& everything that followed is part of letting go..
