I've fallen

Though I hardly even know you

I've fallen head over heels, I hope you know how it feels,

But I know you haven't got a clue 

Just how hard I've fallen over you

Count your blessings

For every occasional wonderful person, there's a chock full of self-involved, stubborn, douche bags who just never learn. What I mean is ignorance casts a shadow over the potential to be wonderful. Disregard the size or the amount of troubles a person has. The fact is, we are all carrying a heavy burden and that is enough consolation, enough reason to smile. So shatter your pride and count your blessings, because even something as small as a smile can take on a ripple effect that can travel oceans.

You've got a smile

You’ve got a smile that could fuel a thousand city blocks and still keep shining. 

I miss making that smile appear right before my eyes.

I've been giving up

I've been giving up on people too easily. If they don't call, if they don't try — then I don't. It's not fair to lay the blame on them when I'm not calling either. I'm just as much at fault. I've got a lot of resentment for old friends — for letting me go without a fight. I just want someone to call and say, "I miss you, how are you?" I just want to call someone and say, "I miss you, I'm sorry." I want to be brave enough to stay in one place.

Say what you mean

Girl: Your new girlfriend? She's pretty. (I bet she stole your heart)

Boy: Yeah...she is. (But you're still the most beautiful girl I know)

Girl: I heard she's funny and amazing. (All the things I wasn't)

Boy: She sure is. (But nothing compared to you)

Girl: I bet you know everything about her by now.

(Like how you knew just everything about me)

Boy: Only the stuff that count. (I can't remember what she says when I think of you)

Girl: Well, I hope you guys last. (Cause we never did)

Boy: I hope we do too. (What happened to me and you?)

Girl: Well, I gotta go. (Before I start to cry)

Boy: Yeah, me too. (I hope you don't cry)

Girl: Bye. (I still love you)

Boy: Later. (I never stopped)

I have faith

I have faith in love. They say to fall in love, you have to take a leap. There’s something incredibly exciting about that.

Go home

“Go home, look in the mirror, and tell yourself you are beautiful. Because I know that is SO fucking hard to do. But every single one of you are individuals and beautiful.”

— John O’Callaghan

I would rather

I would rather be ashes than dust; I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dryrot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

— Jack London

Every inch

She walked into the break room and sat across from me. As she began to speak; her tank top fashioned a shadow upon her collarbone. It was at that moment, I realized under her uniform and all her clothes, she held the most beautiful and mesmerizing body I would ever lay my eyes on, and I knew I wanted to kiss every inch of it.
