I did not write this passage, but rather found it and liked it. I can relate to most of this as well. Hope you enjoy reading...
(minor spelling and grammatical errors have been revised from the original)
You know what's sad about love?
It's when you happen to know that there's just no hope for you being together, yet you still pray to make it work...
It's when your mind says let go, but your heart says hold on...
And most of all, it's when no matter how you try to forget them you just can't because of the fact that you still love them and you just don't know why...
Try loving someone you've loved before and you'll realize that it will either lead to the same thing that happened before...or something worse. Not easy is it?
But why not try loving someone who doesn't love you back...
it's either you see yourself giving up or dying daily..
"If you love and get hurt, love more. If you love more and get hurt more, love even more. If you love even more and get hurt even more, love some more until it hurts no more..."
-William Shakespeare
The gauge of how much you truly treasure something or someone is not how happy you are with them, but how sad you are when you lose them.
One grows distant from another not because of indifference, but because of fear.
There's the fear that the hurt gets greater as one gets closer, a recognition of the tendency to fall deeply, and consequently drown in a quicksand of stupid irrationalities.
Sometimes, what drives one away is not the absence of emotion, but the overwhelming presence of it.
Falling in love is never a decision, always by chance.
Staying in love is never a chance, always by choice.
And falling out of love is never a choice, always a decision.
Attraction comes to us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a choice.
You see, fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen. We may meet someone by chance, but loving and staying with that someone is still a choice.
Just because my eyes don't have tears, it doesn't mean my heart doesn't cry.
Just because you always see me strong, it doesn't mean there's nothing wrong.
Sometimes I choose to pretend I'm happy so I don't have to explain to people who would never even understand.
Smiling is always easier than explaining to everyone why I am sad.
It's never the tears that measure the pain, sometimes, it's the smile we fake.
A person who truly loves you is someone who sees the pain in your eyes while everyone else still believes in the smile on your face.
The person you love most has the best capacity to make you the happiest person in the world, and may give you the worst heartache you could never have imagined.
Time can heal wounds, but it can never get back what we once had and lost.
Time can not tell when or how we will move on after all is said and done.
God gives us time, and fate brings us to the one we love, but sometimes we forget to value this gift he gives us. So learn to treasure the ones you choose to love now, because when they go, there won't be time to have them back.
In life, I have done every way of fighting, heard every painful truth, been in every heartbreaking scene, and felt every dreadful feeling.
I thought going through it all would make me realize that I have to stop the fight at least to save a little for myself. But you know what's funny?
I seem to be so tired of it all, but I still can't just quit no matter how hard it is. And I have to continue hoping that one day I'll be able to find someone who could love me not just "right" but "real."
Love is like giving someone a gun, having them point it at your heart, and trusting them to never pull the trigger.
I don't know why we all hang onto something we know we're better off letting go of. It's like we're scared to lose what we don't even really have.
Some of us say we'd rather have that 'something' than absolutely 'nothing.' But the truth is: to have it halfway is harder than not having it at all.
I want to know someone who could ease the pain that I have, someone who could hold me tight, the one who will never let me go...till every teardrop that has fallen, and every strength that I have has passed until I can no longer move. The one who lays me down in my bed, sings me a lullaby till I fall asleep, and whispers beside me, "I will never leave you, angel of mine."
Time may take us apart. Space may keep us apart. Rumors and hurts may break us down, yet no matter where life leads us, I'll always be here and I'll never stop caring...
