Give me the things that will last whether we’re rich or poor. Give me the things that will matter no matter where we are.
Give me unforgettable conversations instead of dinners, shower me with your secrets instead of your gifts, pick me up when I’m feeling down instead of picking me up in a limo, be my star instead of buying me diamonds.

And sometimes your life begins after goodbye. When you know you can make it on your own, when you know you can survive, when you know that your hardest goodbye didn’t break you and when you realize how much stronger goodbyes can make you.

I hope you get well soon because the world needs you – because I need you. The world needs people with your kindness and compassion and the world needs people who still know how to love unconditionally without asking for anything in return.

Because the real problem is being someone you’re not to please someone else. The real problem is lying to someone else and to yourself about how you feel.

Somehow, the closer I got to you, the further I drifted from myself. Somehow, liking you more made me like myself less.

Let’s keep pretending that we’re not lonely
That you don’t sleep at night
Wishing I still cared
That I don’t dream of you
And the touch of your hand

You might think that rejection means you’re not good enough, but rejection means you’re better than whatever or whoever rejected you.

I know you’re always wanting more from those who keep wanting less.
