#longing

"Desiring another person is perhaps the most risky endeavor of all. As soon as you want somebody—really want him—it is as though you have taken a surgical needle and sutured your happiness to the skin of that person, so that any separation will now cause a lacerating injury."

"I'll miss looking through the forest–your green and hazel eyes. I love the way they shimmered and changed shade with your mood, and how I could see the desire in your emerald gaze.-Karen Quan and Jarod Kintz"

"The memory of her love shimmers the way white light ripples gently on the midnight river, and I am currently thirsting to swim in the current that will flow downstream into her wading and waiting arms."

"Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you."

"Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it inflames the great."

"lean in to kiss mein all the placeswhere the acheis the most special."

"You are ice and fire The touch of you burns my hands like snow"

"One of the deepest longings of the human soul is to be seen."

"I don’t know what they are called, the spaces between seconds– but I think of you always in those intervals."

"I will never claim to know what you are thinking. I only hope I am on your mind."

"A pine tree standeth lonelyIn the North on an upland bare;It standeth whitely shroudedWith snow, and sleepeth there.It dreameth of a Palm treeWhich far in the East alone,In the mournful silence standethOn its ridge of burning stone."

"Wanting him to come back before anyone notices part of the world has not moved since he left."

"I am inhabited by a cry. Nightly it flaps outLooking, with its hooks, for something to love."

"We are beautiful because we are sons and daughters of God, not because we look a certain way."

"There’s nothing like that feeling of waiting for a guy. It’s the loneliest feeling in the world. Holding that cell phone in your hand as you take out the trash, use the bathroom, change the litter box. Fearful that the one second you aren’t looking will be when they call. Pathetic. And something I have done as recently as last week."

"Imagination doesn't always make you long for what you cannot have, but rather thrive in what you do not have."

"I want morning and noon and nightfall with you. I want your tears, your smiles, your kisses...the smell of your hair, the taste of your skin, the touch of your breath on my face. I want to see you in the final hour of my life...to lie in your arms as I take my last breath."

"I prayed for all his dreams to come true. I prayed that I would always be able to connect with him--even if I was no longer on earth."

"They say when you are missing someone that they are probably feeling the same, but I don't think it's possible for you to miss me as much as I'm missing you right now"

"Just because I'm not forever by your side doesn't mean that's not precisely where I want to be."
