It was a relationship with occasional moments of beauty, but one that had never found it's balance.

Even when apologising, this guy turns on the charm. And the worst thing is that it works. She had reached a point in her life where she no longer expected anything from men, though that didn't stop her from falling in love with them.

It's scary being loved. Because life is complicated and all too often it throws you off balance by sending you the right person at the wrong time.

It seemed as if I could see things in her that others couldn't see, qualities which not even she was aware of. It was as I I could already see in her the woman she would later become.

He was the sort of guy who took a lot without giving her anything back The more he hurt her the more desperately she loved him. Life's strange. Sometimes things happen almost as if we're punishing ourselves for some fault that we can't really identify.

When you decide to hit rock bottom, humiliation is part of the deal.

You are your own refuge There is no other You cannot save another You can only save yourself.
