Just because youre beautiful and perfect its made you conceited.

I told you. You dont love someone because of their looks or their clothes or their car. You love them because they sing a song only your heart can understand.

Its dark now and I am very tired. I love you always. Time is nothing.

My mother... she is beautiful softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.

I was always hungry for love. Just once I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldnt take any more. Just once.

Im lonely. Why do you think I had to learn to act so independent I also get mad too quickly and I hog the covers and my second toe is longer than my big one. My hair has its own zip code. Plus I get certifiably crazy when Ive got PMS. You dont love someone because theyre perfect. You love them in spite of the fact that theyre not.

We cant... he told me.I know I agreed.Then his mouth was on mine again and this time I knew there would be no turning back. There were no walls this time. Our bodies wrapped together as he tried to get my coat off then his shirt then my shirt. ... It really was a lot like when wed fought out on the quad earlier-that same passion and heat. I think at the end of the day the instincts that power fighting and sex arent so different. They all come from an animal side of us. Yet as more and more clothes came off it went beyond just animal passion. It was sweet and wonderful at the same time. When I looked into his eyes I could see without a doubt that he loved me more than anyone else in the world that I was his salvation the same way that he was mine. Id never expected my first time to be in a cabin in the woods but I realized the place didnt matter. The person did. With someone you loved you could be anywhere and it would be incredible. Being in the most luxurious bed in the world wouldnt matter if you were with someone you didnt love.

Ive been in love before its like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day you want more. Youre not addicted yet but you like the sensation and you think you can still control things.You think about the person you love for two minutes then forget them for three hours. But then you get used to that person and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If hes not there you feel like an addict who cant get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need youre willing to do anything for love.- By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

I think I fell in love with her a little bit. Isnt that dumb But it was like I knew her. Like she was my oldest dearest friend. The kind of person you can tell anything to no matter how bad and theyll still love you because they know you. I wanted to go with her. I wanted her to notice me. And then she stopped walking. Under the moon she stopped. And looked at us. She looked at me. Maybe she was trying to tell me something I dont know. She probably didnt even know I was there. But Ill always love her. All my life.

Id learned that some things are best kept secret.
