Smelling fresh cut grass or being in the back of a convertable under the stars. Or returning home from a long trip or just driving with no destination in the summer. It’s like the feeling you get when you get an ‘A’ on your report card and your parents tell you how proud they are. Or when you hear your family laugh together or the whooshing of a tunnel when you drive with the windows down. It’s like when you’re outside on a hot summer day and you have a cold glass of water or when you talk to an old friend after a month or two, yet the two of you are still as close as ever.
You're not the breath I breathe , just the sweet scent that I enjoy. You're not the sights I see, just the most beautiful of them. You're not the water I drink, just the flavour that makes it taste so good. You're not the ground I walk on, just the partner I sometimes lean on. You're not the blood in my veins, just what makes it burn so sweetly. You're not my life, just the one I want to spend it with. You're not my world, just the best thing in it!
You may not be her first, her last or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together, but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there!
But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending, we don't learn how to read the signs, how to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't, the ones who'll stay and the ones who'll leave. Maybe this happy ending doesn't include a wonderful guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over. Bring yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is just moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing through all the unreturned phone calls, the broken hearts, through all the blunder and misread signals, through all the pain and embarassment, you never gave up hope."
eu sei...eu sei... não tem graça nenhuma =/ uma pessoa acorda bem disposta, cheia de energia, e depois chega aqui e lê isto =/ ahahahah mas a mim, faz me rir como se não houvesse amanhã. Porque é a verdade né? mas parece que nós andamos aqui como se nada disso pudesse acontecer... era só um piqueno reminder =p aproveitem beeeeeeemmm, enquanto cá andam =*)
O arrependimento vem em todas as formas e tamanhos. Ás vezes é pequeno, como quando fazemos uma coisa má por uma boa razão. Outras vezes é maior, como quando desiludimos um amigo. Algumas pessoas escapam-se à dor do arrependimento, fazendo a escolha certa. Outros têem pouco tempo para arrependimentos porque estão focados no futuro. Por vezes, temos que lutar, e pôr fim no passado, e enterrar os nossos arrependimentos, prometendo mudar os nossos caminhos. Mas os nossos maiores arrependimentos não são pelas coisas que fizemos...são pelas coisas que não fizemos e pelas coisas que não dissemos...!
"I see behind the smile… somehow yoked to the familiar apprehensiveness i find… the playful child having grown into an intricately cautious woman… strong and caring… but jaded and weary from giving too much… too quickly… your eyes silently inquire of my own… can you love without owning?… can i trust without worry?… will you stay by me faithfully through the heavy silence of the night?… will you still wait outside the wall when i seek peace and seclusion from all around me?… and be ready to embrace my weakness and my tears as much as my energy and laughter when i once again emerge?…… and i return to you a kindred smile… understanding from my own pain that this invitation does not come easily… and extend to you the unspoken assurance of what i have to offer… a sincere and abiding friendship… companionship void of bounds… supportive shoulders… and while far from perfect, a heart in which you may always find shelter and warmth in the midst of the storm or in the silence of this moment."
