I could think whatever I wanted to, but realized that any promises I made myself were destined to be broken.

do you fix a wheel that isn't broken, or do you wait until the cart collapses?

I believe that you can fall in love many times with many different people. However, I don't think that you can fall in love the same way twice. One type of relationship may be steady. Another may be fire and brimstone. Who is to say if one of these is better that the other? The deciding factor is how it all fits together. Your love, I mean, and your life.

When the door opens, I realize that the only thing worse than waiting is the moment you realize a decision has been made.

Love makes life a little brighter
