in life we do things, some we wish we had never done, some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads. But they all make us who we are and in the end, those experiences shape every detail about us if we were to revers any of them, we wouldn't be at the exact place that we are today. so just live, make mistakes, and have wonderful times but never ever second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly, where it is that you are going.

She loves sweet nothings. They make her

feel like she’s worth something.

"If you die," you said, " so do i," you said. 
and it starts the day you cross the line.
 "Swear I will always be yours and you'll always be mine. 
You'll always be mine, always be mine"

she believed that if she was arguing with him,
it would lessen the fall when she fell in love with him,
but she still fell in love with him.

And I always did have eyes to rival those fairytale princesses.
 I always did say I’d grow up to break hearts

I believe in pink.
I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. 
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. 
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. 
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. 
I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles. 
-Audrey Hepburn

so prove me wrong, show me that you're different ;
 look in my eyes & grab my hand, randomly kiss me,
 smile & make me laugh, joke around with me, 
but most of all just don’t break my heart.

I pass him in the hall and my heart skips a beat. 
I get an uneasy feeling as he smiles.
I give an artifical smile back, something that I have perfected. 
A smile that says "I miss you" in such a way that he can’t understand. 
As he glides by, I wonder if he ever thinks about how we were, 
those nights that we shared. 
He walks out of my view and I go on with my day, 
wondering how things might have been if 
I had just told him that I fell in love with him.

I told them all the great things about you, and there were a lot. I was up there for awhile. I didn't tell them everything, though. I left out the complicated stuff, like how it took losing you forever for me to truly find you. And how finding you turned me into someone else entirely. That's not what they came for. People want to hear that you are great. Not that you were great and also, not so great. They want to know I miss you. Not that I've been missing you, I've fallen for someone else. It's weird though, I feel like the only one who would understand this is you. Anyway, I left that all out and kept it simple. I told them I loved you and that's the truth.

what if the boy holding your hand and the boy 
holding your heart aren't the same one?


¯¯¯

and there's only a few things i've wanted to hold onto.
one being the color of the sky so blue and every feeling 
i've ever felt when i was touching you.

 ¯¯¯

Don't forget what you have learned. 
all you give is returned and if life seems absurd, 
what you need is some laughter.

 ¯¯¯

but the september sky
how it whispered
"i love you"

¯¯¯

i woke up this morning with a funny taste in my head. spackled 
some butter over my whole grain bread. something tastes different,
maybe it's my tongue. something tastes different, suddenly i'm not
so young. i'm just a stranger, even to myself. a re-arranger of the 
proverbial bookshelf. don't be a fool girl, tell him you love him.
don't be a fool girl, you're not above him. i never thought i could 
love anyone but myself. now i know i can't love anyone but you.

¯¯¯


You were the one all along. 
I never wanted to be with anybody except you

¯¯¯

I was born with an enormous need for affection, 
and a terrible need to give it
- Audrey Hepburn
