Alles zieht um. Hat es denn Sinn, sich an Vergangenes zu hängen, wenn doch alles im Fluss ist, sogar in den Herzen der Menschen?

Zuneigung ist verschwiegener als Leidenschaft und kommt auf zartere Weise zum Ausdruck.

I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see me looking back at you. - And you weren't.

The world might guess it, and I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope.

The worst of having a romance of any kind is that it leaves one so unromantic.

Every impulse that we strive to strangle broods in the mind and poisons us.

A Lonely Garden by Betty Walters :::::::::::::::: My heart found no warm safe harbor in his breast. The white rose of truth languished; Within, my sad soul bled and knew no sweet rest.

Cupid by Patricia Crandall :::::::::::::::::::: Cupid, remove thy arrow! Is it fated your aim more precise with dove than hawk? Out, out I say! Visit me no more, inflicting hopes and dreams upon my threshold yet, kept behind locked door. In days long since past, I learned the truth, still I wake your muse once more. Is there not more worthy prey than this uncompromising soul of mine? Now, leave me, within withering cocoon, shattered pieces of my broken heart rest 'til night, where, within my spirit finds its desire.

How I Feel by Amanda Reinhardt ::::::::::::::::::: I hope one day You will look at me and realize That everything I say Is truly how I feel inside

Hurt by Angela Napier :::::::::::::::: The pain of rejection is always hard. When the love you offer is unrequited. It hurts to go from day to day. Always thinking of that one special love you'll never have. It feels like you can't go on. you can't even breathe. It hurts to know that the one you love, Doesn't care if you feel like your world is crumbling. It hurts but someday you'll make it through.

This Love Inside Me by Jen :::::::::::::::::::: Gradually the pain will ease But I will not forget The love that I have got for you The love you will not get And when I think about you I know I’ll have to cry Because this love inside me Will never ever die.

When your heart breaks, tears fall from your eyes. Those tears are pieces of your heart chasing after the one you love.

The only consolation of saying goodbye to someone you love is the glimmer of hope that someday after that goodbye there will be another hello.

Having your heart broken is the worst pain you can experince within this life.. and the longest wound to heal.

I will never overcome the never having.

Perhaps you'd be a bit surprised how often, if you knew, a joke, a song, a memory will make me think of you.

Love that we can not have is the one that lasts the longest, hurts the deepest and feels the strongest.

The worst feeling in the world is loving someone, when they don't love you back. Your heart aches every time you see him, knowing that no matter how deep you look into their eyes, trying to reach their heart, you never will.

It's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone, when your heart still does.

Love is a flame, once it is lit, it will continue to burn forever and ... burn you out.

No one knows when they are loved, they only know when they are not.

Love is a journey that many take, but only a few reach their destination.

Love is only Wonderful if the person that you are in love with, loves you just as much.

I am not a tease... I am just a reminder of what you cannot have.

I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. - Yeats

The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right next to them knowing you can't have them.

Who do you turn to when the only person in the world that can stop you from crying, is exactly the one making you cry?

Jealousy is the only vice that gives no pleasure.

A million stars and a million dreams... he is the only star I see and only dream I dream.

Requited love - if you look at it by ways of probability you have to laugh. If probability were concerned not one in a hundred close relationships would ever have happened. Which means there must be more to it than mere probability. And that more is what I lack.

"I am I, and wish I wasn't." - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

"Every year, everything I have ever learned in my lifetime leads back to this: the fires and the black river of loss whose other side is salvation, whose meaning none of us will ever know. To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go." - Mary Oliver

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt. - Shakespeare

If we all discovered that we only had five minutes left to say all that we wanted to say, every telephone booth would be occupied by people calling other people to tell them that they loved them. - Christopher Morley

The brain may devise laws for the blood, but a hot temper leaps o’er a cold decree. - Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Allein sein ist schön, wenn man allein sein will, nicht wenn man es muss.

Love is merely a postponing of the pain to follow it. It's an illusion, a fairy tale that we tell our kids to give them false hope, to teach them how to ACT as though it is real.

It is always insane to feel the friction between your own beliefs and the beliefs of someone that you don't understand. Ask yourself, what is insanity, other than an idea that has yet to be explored or proven by a majority of 'well' people?

You never know how much your youth protects you until it has been sucked away by life's problems.

You know, losing someone you love is really hard. But realizing that you never had a chance with them from the very beginning? It murders the soul. And it doesn't come back. It never comes back.

Kites only climb against the wind.

Maybe it's human nature to want to blend in with the majority. To be seen as 'normal'. Then again .... maybe human nature's got it all backwards.
