The couples that are meant to be, are the ones who go through everything that is meant to tear them apart, and come out stronger.

Not all heroes come swooping in to rescue a damsel in distress. I think the greatest heroes are the ones that inspire us, the ones that help us recognize the hero within ourselves.
I loved the way I could feel him deep in my soul.
Not trusting him and him not being trustworthy are two different things.
In a world filled with envy and greed, we have dared to find love. We have dared to be vulnerable. And that is worth fighting for.
Some people will never love you no matter how hard you try and some people will love you without you having to try at all.
Love. The only emotion that could twist you into such a knot that you could no longer distinguish between wanting to be with someone and wanting to destroy everything you shared. Love. The only emotion that could break the same person it had healed.
It's like you're the house I never had, the security of walls I never had. I always had to keep my own bricks so tight because there was nothing else to protect me, until I met you.
Until you, I never realized that people could change us. That we could find more within ourselves, that we always have more to give when we find people we want to give things to.
He’ll never be able to hide his feelings for you when he sees you. That’s the thing with enduring love. It can stay buried, you can deny it, but once you are near that person, those feelings pull you together like a magnetic bond.
He was always right beside me, but we were never in the same place.
I had been so afraid to open my heart to her, because I had been abandoned, neglected and very hurt, but she showed me that even though love can hurt, it can also heal.
It's never the right time if it's the wrong person.
Closure. This was a word that humans used a lot. They told themselves there had to be some sort of ritualistic ending in order to close the chapter and move on, but I wondered if chapters ever really closed, because each one was dependent on the one before.
No matter how many times we get hurt by love, we still crave it, and those who act like they don't are just wounded and frightened of being hurt again.
Maybe my fear wasn’t that he couldn’t sustain emotional intimacy, but that he could. Maybe the scariest relationships were the ones where both people wanted to be close.
I wanted to keep him there to hold me up, to rely on, to remind me that there were places we found in other people that were safer than any walls could keep us.
Love should be easy. Life is hard. Relationships are complicated. But the love, that’s the one thing we should be able to count on.
I wanted to keep him there to hold me up, to rely on, to remind that there were places we found in other people that were safer than any walls could keep us.
Maybe we love people forever. Maybe some relationships were derailed by time and circumstance, but somewhere in the background there was a place where that love still existed, where you were still those two people in that time.
It’s hard to let go, especially after you’ve invested a few years. It’s hard to let go of who we imagined someone else was too. You loved him so you overlooked all the thing that were obvious to everyone around you. We all do it.
Sometimes when we least expect it, love gives us a second chance.
You can never go back the way you came.
Humans often thought the glass was empty when there was still more in there. I guess if you reached deep enough, you could find something even when there seemed to be nothing left.I always did.
Don’t blame yourself. You believed what he told you, because you trusted him. You’re a warm, open, trusting person. And you’re trustworthy. Trustworthy people like us always get screwed, because we expect other people to be like us. Don’t let his bad behavior make you question yourself.
I can’t reconcile who he was, the man who was so kind and loving and considerate, with who he is now. I know the truth is who I’m seeing now, but I keep hoping the former man will come back. It’s like I love someone who doesn’t even exist.
Humans were always trying to fit in. Many of them didn’t feel like they belonged. When someone came along and was brave enough to show the truth of who they were, flaws and all, it could inspire others to accept themselves as they were.
Sometimes I miss you, which is strange, because you weren't at all the way I remember you.
I wanted to push away the very thing I wanted. Have you ever had that feeling? Was it because you were so afraid that you wouldn’t get it? Or because you were afraid you would, but deep down didn’t feel you deserved it?
I didn't want to go down a road I'd already been on. Why was it so hard to turn away from something that was already gone?
Hope can have sharp edges as it leaves you.
Sometimes the beginnings of relationships are the hardest. People always say the beginning is the easiest, but two people trying to let their guards down and be open to intimacy can be hard too.
He couldn't give me what I wanted, because he didn't have it to give. I saw an ideal of him and kept trying to get him to fit that mold because I didn't want to let go of the illusion of who he was.
He was the wall I broke myself against. As I tried to tear down his walls, I was freed from my own.
I think sometimes we fall in love just because it feels so good to love someone, to desire them, to yearn for another human being, to cross the boundary of aloneness that is part of human existence.
All I wanted was to merge with the same person who had broken me, thinking that he was the only one who could fill in all the little crevices making me feel whole again.
As I observed him sitting there, a heavy look in his eyes, I longed to reach behind that barrier and pull out the warm, sensitive, passionate man I knew was trapped inside. There was nothing worse than feeling someone’s potential.
Sometimes you have to go back to the beginning to see how you want your story to end.
I think when we love people we offer them the opportunity to break the barriers that prevent them from finding the love they deserve.
Go where the silence says something good.
So often, we don’t see the beauty in ourselves. If we keep observing our reflection in the distorted mirrors of bad relationships, we start believing we are ugly and unlovable. And the flaws aren’t in how we look, but in whose eyes we’re seeing ourselves through.
Relationships don't break you; they reveal you.
