What is the opposite of two? A lonely me, a lonely you.
~Richard Wilbur

Have you ever been hurt and the place tries to heal a bit, and you just pull the scar off of it over and over again.
~Rosa Parks

Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.
~Author Unknown

Count the garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall. Count your life with smiles and not the tears that roll.
~Author Unknown

Ask me why I keep on loving you when it's clear that you don't feel the same way for me... the problem is that as much as I can't force you to love me, I can't force myself to stop loving you.
~Author Unknown

I am tired, Beloved,
of chafing my heart against
the want of you;
of squeezing it into little inkdrops,
And posting it.
~Amy Lowell, "The Letter"

"Over and Over

What is it with my heart and falling over and over?

As a 23 year old, you would think that I would have learned something about love by now, wouldn't you?

Au contraire! Instead my heart has become used to the exquisite pain of love. The aching, the butterflies and the rejection...
Never quite making it onto the pitch.
A permanent spectator to a warm-up gig

As an otherwise very well functioning human being, I find myself full of catacombs of lost loves.

The dull ache of loneliness eating away, eating, eating...
Until one day you don't notice the gaping hole inside.
Then, unexpectedly something triggers you,
a word, an expression, a look
And back you are transported to the one behind you.

The tears again want to fall,
but they are stubbornly clinging to my eyes
And I am again left asking "why me?"

Self pity overtakes me as I feel the same things,
over and over...

Love, loss, death, all intertwined
But all I want is to be intertwined with you.

a heart, once broken, cannot be fully mended,
it heals, but the scars are left behind
and each time, it remembers the pain,
and old wounds are renewed."
