You can live without me, and I can live without you, but who's to say we didn't already die.
Feelings are fleeting though
They never last long
So what's wrong with me?
Why can I still feel things?
Does this mean I haven't really let go?
I'm trying to move on,
Trying to move forward with my life,
So why do I feel like you've still got so much of a hold on me?
Why can't I seem to shake off thoughts of you?
Why do things that shouldn't bother me, still do?  
What's wrong with me?
Late night thoughts
Our future together
Is my
Greatest dream--
My sweet obsession
For the ones separated by time and space
Eighty years
to love,
Twenty-nine thousand, two hundred days
to leap,
Seven hundred thousand, eight hundred hours
to learn,
Forty-two million, forty-eight thousand minutes
to laugh,
Two billion, five hundred and twenty-two million, eight hundred and eighty thousand seconds
to live,
One lifetime
to leave…
"I wonder how many stranger’s stories
we make it into?
You know, maybe someone
saw you in passing
and told their friends about
how pretty the girl in the lavender sweater was.
Or maybe they overheard you say a joke
and repeated it to their friend, confessing that
they heard it from some guy
at the store."
When you loose someone you love
It changes you.
You're never the same person you were before.
You adapt. You adjust. But it still hurts.
It hurts because that person mattered to you.
Because you'd hoped that person wouldn't leave.
It hurts, because deep down you hoped with everything you had,
that that person would be the one person to stay.

You don't ever really recover from pain like that.
You grow. You learn. But you don't forget.
You never forget.
"I am not
a continuation
of my past mistakes,
nor a new chapter
in a book
of
everything that will go wrong.
I believe in the habit of
no
longer
bringing
myself
down,
so why
shouldn’t you?
