"I knew I’d miss you. But the surprising thing is, you never leave me. I never forget a thing. Every kind of love, it seems, is the only one. It doesn’t happen twice. And I never expected that you could have a broken heart and love with it too, so much that it doesn’t seem broken at all." - Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson (via lostinthesounds)
"No matter how hard you try to get over someone, you will still have some sort of feeling for them, remembering the ways things used to be, and how they are now. And you sometimes hope that the new person in their life was still you, and everything was how it used be, erasing all the bad things that happened. Time is supposed to make things better, but in love it doesn’t. Although we have been apart for a while, and now have different loves in our life, I still can’t help wondering how your life is, and when I catch you glancing at me, I can’t help but wonder if your heart beats a little faster, as mine does when I see you." - (via thelovewhisperer)
"So you think that you’re a failure, do you? Well, you probably are. What’s wrong with that? In the first place, if you’ve any sense at all you must have learned by now that we pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. Go ahead and fail. But fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. A mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. Embrace failure! Seek it out. Learn to love it. That may be the only way any of us will ever be free." - Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins (via lostinthesounds)

"This is how it was with him. So easy to lose myself. Let all the walls down and forget about everything. He really was everything to me. My beginning and end." - Jus Accardo, Toxic (via simply-quotes)
"The truth was, he now belonged only to my past, and it was time I began to accept it, as much as it hurt to do so." - Tammara Webber, Easy (via simply-quotes)
