they see my father's fortune.
I, will have poetry in my life.
And adventure. And love. Love above all.

and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture.
Love-like there has never been in a play."

You can't see what's happening
to the people around you...
you can't see that you're about to fall."

is knowing that if I could do it all over again,
I would."

when you're hurt and who help
you feel not so lonely...
they're always worth being scared for,

People that build their houses in your heart."

you are the only one for me."

the way I feel when I'm with you."

an hour to like someone
and a day to love someone...

someone you have grown to love..."

"Love is when the thoughts of but one person fill your heart,
when they mean more than life to you,
when you know that you would do anything for them

Desire is when you ache to see them and touch them,
when they cause your body to burn and tremble.
Desire does not demand love before it can ensnare you,
but desire with love creates a powerful bond!"

and they are still there to catch you,
you have the most precious gift in the world-
true friendship."

"Sometimes the one you love turns out to be the one who hurts you the most,
and the friend who takes you into his arms and cries when you cry
turns out to be the love you never knew you wanted."

"People tell me they're in love and I ask them one question.
'Why?' Not why as in 'what the heck are you doing?' but more 'what are you in love with?'
I know that if they can name specific parts of someone that they are in love with then they are not in love.
When they are in love, the answer is, 'I dunno. I just am, all of them.
I love every little inch of physical, spiritual and mental part of them.'"

"Never shall I forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend as you shall always find me yours."

Life doesn't leave that many choices."
~Erica Jong~

"Some friends are forever.
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.
This is forever friendship.
When you're down, and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit
and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.
Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times.
If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows.
If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.
Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.
And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete, because you need not worry.
You have a forever friend for life, and forever has no end."
~Anonymous~

who can stop your tears

just know that you have forever changed me."

friend in immense pain,
would rather be the one
experiencing the pain than

"I woke up crying again, and I don't know what to do.
Maybe you'll understand.
I'm so sick of feeling this way.
I'm so sick of being alone.
I would cry and count the stars if it meant
that I wouldn't be so lonely.
I'm trying to make sense of meaningless bullshit
and I know I'm failing miserably.
Somebody please help me get through this.
I've helped everybody,
and I don't know how to help myself."

"Let me sleep. For when I sleep I dream that you are here.
You're mine. And all my fears are left behind.
I float. On air. The nightingale sings gentle lullabies.
So let me close my eyes. And sleep a chance to dream.
So I can see the face I long to touch. To kiss.
But only dreams can bring me this.
So let the moon shine softly on the boy I long to see.
And maybe when he dreams, he'll dream of me.
I'll hide beneath the clouds, and whisper to the evening stars.
They tell me love is just a dream away. A dream away.
So let the moon shine softly on the boy I long to see.
And maybe when he dreams, he'll dream of me."

but I'm afraid no one else loves you like I did,
and I love you too much to leave you alone like that,
no matter how much you deserve it."

"You see? That is just like you, Harry.
You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you!"
~"When Harry Met Sally"~

"You know how someone's appearance can change the longer you know them? How a really attractive person, if you don't like them, can become more and more ugly. Where someone you wouldn't have noticed, that you wouldn't look at more than once, if you love them can become the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. All you want to do is be near them. I love Abby. It doesn't matter what she looks like." ~"The Truth About Cats and Dogs"~

"You live and you breathe and then you die. In between, if you're lucky, you fall in love. Some loves stay forever, others are lost in only a day. But its still there, underneath all the hurt and pride and years. If it's true love, it's never forgotten. So when someone says they're in love, don't tell them they can't be. Don't say they're too young, or it's too soon. Love knows no age or length of time. Love is a feeling, deep in your heart, that squeezes you tight and you never want to let it go."

"You can't hurt someone unless you really mean something to them."

"How can you just be friends with someone
when every time you look at them
it makes you want them more?"

"If we discovered that we had only five minutes left to say all we wanted to say,
every telephone booth would be occupied by people calling other people to stammer that they loved them."
~Christopher Morley~

"And I'm still here, waiting here, to catch you if you fall.
I don't know why I care so much when I shouldn't care at all."

"I'm not supposed to love you,
I'm not supposed to care,
I'm not supposed to live my life,
wishing you were there.
I'm not supposed to wonder
where you are or what you do,
I'm sorry I just can't help myself,
I fell in love with you."

"Once I loved you, sometimes I miss you,
always I'll remember you, never will I forget you."

"If I had never met you, I wouldn't like you.
If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you.
If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you.
But I did, I do and I will."

"If you don't understand my silence,
you wouldn't understand my words."

"Don't want to leave,
but we both know sometimes it's better to go.
Somehow I know we'll meet again,
not sure quite where and I don't know just when
you're in my heart, so until then, smile,
don't want to cry saying goodbye."
~"The Muppets"~
