- Neil Gaiman

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

There have not been any 10 minutes in which I have not thought about you, There have not been a single night when there were no tears in my eyes, Even you know, we cannot end. Ever.

Liking Someone

Liking someone is horrific. They suddenly become iridicent, nobody compares to them and everything they say makes you want them more; nothing you do can get them off your mind.

Just A Glance

Once again you've been on my mind My infatuation has made me blind To everything and everyone else around me But you won't even smile at me Do you ever acknowledge my existence.

Broken Hearted Girl

You're everything I thought you never were And nothing like I thought you could have been But still, you live inside of me, so tell me how is that.
