The world as I see it
Seems like it is just you and me
I want all the pieces to fit
But is it really meant to be?

Are you the one?
Do you really love me?
Or is it a dream I have begun?
With my thoughts growing like a blossoming tree

The tears I have cried
Were all for you
And the laughter I have denied
Gave me a clue

You were not real
I made the idea of you
Hoping it would make me feel
Feel like I would fall through

With you there to catch me
But when I hit the ground
I know the truth scattered like debris
Goodbye sweet dreams to the one who has made me drown

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

&ldquo;You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.&rdquo; <br /> ― Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Here&#039;s what I think,&quot; I say and my voice is stronger and thoughts are coming, thoughts that trickle into my noise like whispers of truth. &quot;I think maybe everybody falls,&quot; I say. &quot;I think maybe we all do. And I don&#039;t think that&#039;s the asking.&quot; <br /> I pull on her arms gently to make sure she&#039;s listening.<br /> &quot;I think the asking is whether we get back up again.&rdquo; <br /> ― Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go
