Throughout it all, I loved her as much as I always had, and I found myself aching for those simpler times of the past. I knew what was happening, of course. As we were drifting apart, I was becoming more desperate to save what we once had shared; like a vicious circle, however, my desperation made us drift apart even further.
Nicholas SparksYou know me better than anyone, and you're my best friend. I don't think there's anything you could say to me that would lead me to believe that you're doing it just to hurt me. If there's one thing I've come to know about you, it's that you're not even capable of something like that. Why do you think I like spending time with you so much? Because you're a good guy. A nice guy.
Nicholas SparksThe best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever
Nicholas SparksIโve lost someone, too,โ he reminded her. โItโs not the same!โ She squeezed the bridge of her nose, trying to stifle her tears. โI was so mean to him. I quit the piano! I blamed him for everything, and I didnโt say more than a few words to him for three years! Three years! And I canโt get those years back. But maybe if I hadnโt been so angry, he might not have gotten sick. Maybe I caused that extraโฆ stress that did all this. Maybe it was me!
