&quot;Where words fail, music speaks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;m trying to believe in things that I don&#039;t know[...]That love can kill the pain, that truth is never vain, it turns strangers into lovers, and enemies to brothers&quot;

The past is all around me
It’s written on the wall
Memories surround me
As I’m drifting down the hall
I remember all the waiting
All the letters in a drawer
I still have the bracelet that
You once promised to return for
I’m walking streets that we were on
I’m sitting in our loft
My tears fall on the cheeks you kissed
Your lips were always soft
I used to fall asleep on you
As you gently held me tight
We’d talk on the phone, lose track of time,
And easily stay up all night
My notebooks are filled with your name
And numbers from our countdowns
We loved each other effortlessly
Even from different towns
Your smile was the best sight
It reminded me that life was fine
I still dream about what it would be like
If you could still be mine

This is about a relationship with a guy that wasn't just a relationship... but rather a friendship that built me up and burnt me down in a more intense way than I ever could have imagined.

&quot;life isn&#039;t a matter of milestones, but of moments&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;be as you wish to seem.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;it&#039;s better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not.&quot;

&quot;We allow ourselves to dream without fear of how impossible it may seem.&quot; -Z.H.<br /> &quot;Anything other than yes is no. Anything other than stay is go. Anything less than &#039;I love you.&#039; is lying.&quot; -John Mayer.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
