"I know how you feel because I’ve been there too. I’ve hated and I’ve loved. I’ve seen my demons root and crawl and my angels branch and soar. I've died within myself and lived a thousand different lives. I too fight the same war and I too am drowning in the puddles of self-consciousness this world created."

"I need you because I know I deserve you but let me fall in love with you one last time before I let go. So I can remember the beautiful imperfection that rattled my bones."

"Suddenly I remembered that laugh, it told a different story, our story."

"She wasn't broken. She was just bent, over the chance of being ignored by the one she loved."

"Death is the easy part, the hard part is living and knowing you could be so much more then you’re willing to be."

"Broken hearts, you can run, you can hide and perhaps the earth is big enough to believe you’re safe. So maybe for a moment you have escaped but hear me, hear me well. Love will find you and it will leave nothing behind."

"The best kind of humans are the ones who stay."

"I kept loving and loving and loving. Every waking hour, I marveled on how these moments would make made me feel. I wanted to love the world and be the change it so deliciously craved."

"Sometimes the most beautiful people are beautifully broken."

"She wildly burned for the one she loved and he stood there watching, hoping he too would catch a blaze from the violence stirring in her heart."

"You’re not a bad person, you’re just a little bit different and I’m a sucker for that."

"Maybe what this is. What we have, is something that will save us from ourselves."

"It’s funny, for all it took was a broken heart and that alone was enough, enough for her to do everything she ever dreamed of."

"Maybe love was meant to save us from ourselves."

"How could I live above the water or breathe under it. How could I swim in darkness consumed in an ocean of you? Falling or flying towards you, losing or finding myself in you and beauty was never the word to catch all that you are. For now I know the means of the infinite and it all starts and ends with you."

"Maybe I hope too much. Maybe I dream too much or maybe I love too much to just give up on you."

"She was broken from moment to moment, watching her world collide she felt lost inside herself. She fell apart for a passion that flamed beneath her. She waited and died a hundred times, it dripped from her pores. The moment she let go, she soared over the stillness like the star she was born to be."

"I arrived, I saw humans and I saw through their faces. Nothing ever changes but the light in their eyes. For I too have buried my demons today, without knowing what might remain beneath the face of tomorrow."

"I had to learn to live without you and I couldn't make sense of it, because I left so much of me inside of you."

"She needed the chaos within her in order to discover the extraordinary no man could ever reach."
