You see... there’s this girl who’s on my mind every second of every day, and she drives me kind of crazy because I don’t really understand the hold she has on me. But she has me in a way no one else ever has and more than anyone else ever will. And this girl... she needed me, and I didn’t think twice about that jump, because getting in deep with her is the only place I ever want to be.

To be blinded by her light while she drowned me in her sea of dark.

You are everything I ever wished I could have.

He’d walked into my store and told me he’d give me anything. To name it and it was done. And the only thing I wanted? I wanted him to stay.

I can’t live without you. I haven’t lived a day without you.

I told you I’m not afraid. Why are you? All I’m asking is that you take a chance on me. Life’s not worth living without taking them.

And be willing to live in peace when there are wars raging all around you.

Every instinct told me I needed to run, that there was something about this beautiful stranger I couldn’t resist.

Live life to the fullest even when it might feel empty.

And it killed me because I could never forget him. Couldn’t because he’d permanently etched himself to me, left a part of himself forever within me. For so many years I’d loved him, but when he’d gone this time, he’d taken a part of me captive too, a piece that could never be retrieved because it would always belong to him...
