"It’s one of the hardest choices in life to decide whether or not to continue fighting. Walk away or try harder, leave or stay. But in the end the things you didn’t do will hurt more than the ones you regret doing. It’ll be the what ifs that will always take your breath away when you have a spare minute to think, and you’ll wonder “what could’ve happened if I’d taken the chance?” It’ll be the thought that drives you insane. So start. Start now. Take that chance. Believe in yourself. You can do this."

"I can turn you into poetry, adorn you with pretty words and compare you to the stars and the moon. I can place a crown on top of your head and make you a king between the lines. But I can never turn our story into more than it was: a love gone to waste. I wish I could stop writing about you."

I love him to the point where it hurts,” she explains.

“Whenever I see him talking to other girls, my stomach aches. And when my eyes meet his? Oh, my heart feels like it’s about to rip out of my chest.”

“It’s not healthy, I know. It’s almost like a disease, this love coursing through my veins. It’s going to destroy me, I know it will. But somehow I think it could save me, too.

It doesn’t hurt that you chose her. She’s prettier than me, smarter than me, not broken like me. Her smile is bright like the sun, her eyes are as blue as the sea, and her laugh is like the melody of the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. She’s your favorite book, and I’m just a page of it. She’s really the obvious choice.

I’m happy for the two of you, honestly.

Sometimes I see you holding her, and it looks as if you’re scared to let go. I see her smile up at you, and I can just tell that she’s lost in your eyes. I’m glad that you found love.

It doesn’t hurt that you chose her, but you wanna know what does? The fact that I almost had you. You almost loved me. You held me like that, and I smiled at you the same way she does now. But something happened, and suddenly you’re all I can think about, when to you I’m just a distant memory.
