Sometimes you forget how much you love someone, until you realize their smile is like a spotlight shined on your heart.

That time of day when the sun hasn’t come up yet, but you can already feel it coming. It’s an elusive warmth, like a subtle promise whispered in your ear and you can go on with your day knowing you’ve been given another chance to get it right.

Because sometimes you have to suffer without the things you want now so you can have everything you need later.

The relentless pull of love is a thousand times harder to fight than the tides. If you’re lucky, you’ll make it out before you drown. If you’re even luckier, you’re pulled under just long enough to wash away the sorrow. If you’re really lucky, like me, you resurface just in time to find the one you love floating right beside you.

There's a little blackness inside all of us.

We feel the love of strangers every day in the things they do that affect us without our knowledge.

The quickest path to self-destruction is to push away the people you love.
