"One day you fall for this boy. And he touches you with his fingers. And he burns holes in your skin with his mouth. And it hurts when you look at him. And it hurts when you don’t. And it feels like someone’s cut you open with a jagged piece of glass. And then you realized you always felt that way."
The Tracey Fragments
But I love these ones:
Just because two people don’t wind up spending their entire lives together doesn’t mean their relationship was a failure.
Ted Michael, Crash Test Love
Someday, we’ll run into each other again, I know it. Maybe I’ll be older and smarter and just plain better. If that happens, that’s when I’ll deserve you. But now, at this moment, you can’t hook your boat to mine, because I’m liable to sink us both.
Gabrielle Zevin, Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life, and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds. The people that believe in you so much, you start to believe in you too. The people that love you, simply for being you. The once in a lifetime kind of people.

Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your memory is a monster; you forget—it doesn’t. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you—and summons them to your recall with will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you.
John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany
I said never apologize for how you feel. No one can control how they feel. The sun doesn’t apologize for being the sun. The rain doesn’t say sorry for falling. Feelings just are.
Iain S. Thomas, Intentional Dissonance
You tried to change didn’t you?
closed your mouth more
tried to be softer
prettier
less volatile, less awake
but even when sleeping you could feel
him travelling away from you in his dreams
so what did you want to do love
split his head open?
you can’t make homes out of human beings
someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love.
Warsan Shire, For Women Who Are Difficult to Love
How odd I can have all this inside me and to you it’s just words.
David Foster Wallace, The Pale King
The last eight times I told you I loved you, they sounded like apologies.
Miles Walser
I suddenly felt traces of the past floating back up from my lungs and feared that I would suffocate
Tablo
You are flowers in my stomach.
Cutting me open nightly, blooming through the cracks of the ribs.
I only want to be the sun for you.
Elke River
When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sand paper. They may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless.
Chris Colfer
Most days I wish I never met you because then I could sleep at night and I wouldn’t have to walk around with the knowledge there was someone like you out there.
Good Will Hunting (1997)
I was satisfied with haiku until I met you,
but now I want a Russian novel,
a 50-page description of you sleeping.
Unknown
The best feeling in the world is knowing your presence and absence both mean something to someone.

One of the cruelest things you can do to another person is pretend you care about them more than you really do.
Douglas Coupland
The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.
Alan Watts
Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
There were things I wanted to tell him. But I knew they would hurt him. So I buried them, and let them hurt me.
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Critical theory looked at this way of looking at society and said, yes, there is progress, but it’s progress “from the slingshot to the atomic bomb" (as Adorno once said). Our weapons have gotten fancier, to be sure, but at heart we’re still a bunch of primitives.
How many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn’t pull the trigger?
Virginia Woolf, from Selected Essays
He loved her, of course, but better than that, he chose her, day after day. Choice: that was the thing.
Sherman Alexie, The Toughest Indian In The World
People change and forget to tell each other.
Lillian Hellman
I have buried you in every place I’ve been. You keep ending up in my shaking hands.
Bon Iver
I wrote a poem about it, and then threw it away, because that’s the last thing I need right now: More words dedicated to people who will never dedicate a single thing to me.
Thought Catalog
I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s miss as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.
Franz Kafka
All relationships are doomed. If you emotionally undress in front of someone, they will pour acid on your shivering skin and leave you to die.
Howard, Fresh Meat
He loved her, he loved her, and until he’d loved her she had never minded being alone.
Truman Capote, Summer Crossing
Never waste your time trying to explain who you are to people who are committed to misunderstanding you.
Dream Hampton
It’s unbelievable how you can affect someone else so deeply and never know.
Susane Colasanti
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.
Stephen R. Covey
I decided on you, don’t you get that? I decided on you. I don’t want to go fucking other people and then walk around feeling thrilled and then sad, or empty, or whatever. I like the smell of your hair, and I like the sound of your voice, and I fucking decided on you.
He never broke my heart. He only turned it into a compass that always points me back to him.
Clementine von Radics, In Defense of Loving Him (after Megan Falley)
In the end there doesn’t have to be anyone who understands you. There just has to be someone who wants to.
Robert Brault
She had a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach, like when you’re swimming and you want to put your feet down on something solid, but the water’s deeper than you think and there’s nothing there.
Julia Gregson, East of the Sun
Expectation is the root of all heartache.
William Shakespeare
Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I’m not living.
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.
Charles Bukowski
One by one I drowned all the people I’d been.
Conor Oberst
Eventually soulmates meet, for they have the same hiding place.
Robert Brault
I don’t. I don’t want anybody else to touch you. I’m silly. I get furious if they touch you.
Ernest Hemingway, from ‘ A Farewell to Arms’
We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Don’t settle. Don’t finish crappy books. If you don’t like the menu, leave the restaurant. If you’re not on the right path, get off it.
Chris Brogan
