If I ever fall in love again, I would like it if it were a slightly cold guy. Someone who won't constantly mind about my childish needs but who, the day after the quarrel, for example would offer me a flower accompanied by a sweet note That's kind of guy I need.
Ai YazawaEven if you fulfill your hearts desire, by sacrificing something important, you may not necessarily be happy. Happiness doesnโt come in one form, it determined by your own heart.
Ai YazawaThe flow of time cleanses the past and heals the wounds in people's hearts. But there are wounds we cant speak of.
Ai YazawaYou were a stray cat, strutting so free and full of pride. But I could see your open wound. And without really thinking I just chalked it up to another cool thing about you. I never realized how much you hurt.
Ai YazawaHey Nana, do you remember the first time we met? I beleive in things like fate. So I think it was fate.
Ai YazawaI'll make you so in love with me, that everytime our lips touch, you'll die a little death.
Ai YazawaShe was my sacred angel that I could never violate. Reira was my sanctuary. I needed something solid like that in this dirty, disappointing world.
Ai YazawaEven now, sometimes on street corners... when I meet someone, I see your shadow. I'm sure that even now, you're still wearing that man's cologne... so you can sleep, even alone.
Ai YazawaMany things happened in my life, and I thought that they changed me. But in the end, nothing has changed since I was seventeen. If I could keep todayโs happiness I wouldnโt worry about tomorrow.
Ai YazawaI feel the same way about all my friends. To me, the exact relationship between me and someone else doesn't matter much. But people want to label everything... So I guess I seem indifferent in that way.
Ai YazawaCinderella's glass shoe was the perfect size.... so why did it slip off as she ran? It must have been to attract the attention of Prince Charming. I don't see any other explanation.
Ai YazawaPeopleโs feelings are easily swayed. The things reflected in peopleโs eyes are full of deception. Nothing is as it appears.
Ai YazawaThat moment I felt a bit like crying. I don't really know why. Nana's hand felt so warm that it even warmed my heart.
Ai YazawaThe truth is I always loved him. From the first time I saw him he was so great. But that time I was hurt. I might have been selfish but I was so hurt. I was afraid I would feel more pain. Now I remember every time I was with Shouji I felt better. You hugged me secretly with your heart, didn't you? Now I want you to embrace me with all that warmth, with all your strength.
Ai YazawaPeople can have lovers..they can have friends..they can be together..but when you think about it..you'll see that originally..we're alone
Ai YazawaI don't care if I'm loved back, I still want to love someone.๏ฟฝSomeone, from the bottom of my heart...๏ฟฝStraightforward, unwavering...๏ฟฝIt seems like such a simple thing, so then why....๏ฟฝ...Must it be so incredibly hard?
Ai YazawaI wanted to have a good relationship. One that's romantic and dramatic, like in the movies. But I finally became a woman at 17 and learned that men aren't really that simple.
Ai YazawaAs expected life isn't that sweet at all. When I came to Tokyo I thought I could achieve anything with my own two hands. It's not like that. To get something in these hands, I have to fight a horrible fight. But... there's not much time to grab the things you want with your hands. Why is that? And more importantly what is that I want?
Ai YazawaHis hands are saying that he wants to hold her. His feet are saying that he wants to chase after her... He's probably forgotten that I'm here, beside him
Ai YazawaIn this world, not everything will be won by justice. If you want to win, you have to learn how to cheat. (Nana)
Ai YazawaFrom that day on it was as if Ren freed me from gravity. I was floating in the sky. Higher. Higher. Higher.
Ai YazawaSometimes isnโt it better to have some time and space to ourselves? We will have new perception of things.
Ai YazawaThe table was her stage. The mobile phone was the microphone. And the new moon was the spotlight. That kind of magic only Nana could make it happen.
Ai YazawaAt that time I told myself that I didn't want to fall in love ever again. But that night while praying for your happiness Nana, I thought that despite all the wounds and all the pains it could cause I wanted to dream again, and love someone with all my heart.
Ai YazawaHey Nana, If Cinderella's glass slipper fits so perfectly, I wonder why it fell off along the way? I can't help but think that it was on purpose, to attract the prince's affections. No matter what I do, I'll still have the fate of a girl who just keeps getting hurt, wondering if she can be happy in this pointless, one man show?
Ai YazawaWhen dawn comes, that memory gradually distances...Tonight, I will bring it to sleep with me, so that will not be taken away by the waves of the night.
Ai YazawaNana acts like a stray cat, wild, free, and proud.... ...But inside her heart, she houses a wound. Dense as I am, i thought that. This trait of hers was a part of her charm as well. ..but she never realized how much pain it brought her.... -Nana Komatsu
Ai YazawaEven if you fall on the runway, I wouldn't blame you. It would mean that we made a mistake in choosing you.
Ai YazawaI have to get back to the hotel. But I don't know the way. I always rely on Shouji so I didn't notice where we were going. Nut I came to this point. without realising my attitude and actions. It's like I am slowing falling into a valley. I wonder where I'm standing now.
Ai YazawaYou know Hachi, your life depends only on ourselves. Iโm still convinced about thisโฆ But Iโve also learned to accept that peopleโฆ donโt all become as strong, and it made me kinder than before.
Ai YazawaFor us who choose our dreams over our love the only thing we can do for love is perhaps to release the lock around our necks. Through that, the pain may vanish.
Ai YazawaIf you're that obsessed with someone, why would you kill her? Humans are full of contradictions.
Ai YazawaThat overflowing feeling became love. But I don't sing for Ren's sake. I sing for myself everyday.
Ai YazawaIf my tears spilled spontaneously at that moment itโs because I immediately understood that what was happening, like in a dream, was the treat you had prepared for me I felt your friendship much stronger than if you had thanked me a million times that what pleased and touched me.
Ai Yazawa
