In time the hurt began to fade and it was easier to just let it go. At least I thought it was. But in every boy I met in the next few years I found myself looking for you and when the feelings got too strong Id write you another letter. But I never sent them for fear of what I might find. By then youd gone on with your life and I didnt want to think about you loving someone else. I wanted to remember us like we were that summer. I didnt ever want to lose that.

It takes courage to love but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and giving out nothing receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

It isnt possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love ignore it muddle it but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right love is eternal.

Tonight I can write the saddest linesI loved her and sometimes she loved me too.

Promise me youll never forget me because if I thought you would Id never leave.

I wasnt actually in love but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.

To lose balance sometimes for love is part of living a balancedlife.

If shes amazing she wont be easy. If shes easy she wont be amazing. If shes worth it you wont give up. If you give up youre not worthy. ... Truth is everybody is going to hurt you you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

Love can change a person the way a parent can change a baby- awkwardly and often with a great deal of mess.
