she didnt know exactly, but he did exist, and one of the things she had learned early on in her life was that if you discovered something that made you tighten inside, you had better try to learn more about it. If you simply ignored the feeling, you would never know what might happen, and in many ways that was worse than finding out that you were wrong in the first place. Because if you were wrong, you could go forward in your life without ever looking back over your shoulder and wondering what might have been.

But some emotions don't make a lot of noise. It's hard to hear pride. Caring is real faint- like a heart beat. And pure love- why some days it's so quiet, you don't even know it's there.

You aren’t going to be her first, her last, or her only. She's loved before, she will love again, but if she loves you now what else matters? She’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if she can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to her and give her the most you can. She isn’t going to quote poetry, she’s not thinking about you every moment, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you could break. Don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t expect more than she can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when she makes you happy, yell when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had.

I know he's not perfect, but he tries so hard for me. But I'm thankful he isn't. How boring would that be? It's the little imperfections and the sudden change of plans, like when he misreads directions and we're lost, but still holding hands. Yeah, I live for the moments like that.

They couldn't stop themselves.  They were both so caught up in each other, that they both just sort of fell- alice1989 (on bolt)

"And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love." - Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)

No camera could ever capture the look in her eyes when he smiles at her.

In every girls life, there's always someone who gets her up in the morning.  Whether it's her mother, her best friend, her dog, or just the thought of knowing he'll be there to greet her at school.- alice1989 (on bolt)

A guy out there was meant to be the love of your life, your best friend, your soul mate, the one you can tell your dreams to. He'll smile at you, but he'll never laugh at your heart. He'll brush the hair out of your eyes. Send you flowers when you least expect it. He'll stare at you during the movies, even though he paid $8 to see it. He'll call to say goodnight or just cause he is thinkin of you. He'll look in your eyes and tell you, you're the most beautiful girl in the world, and for the first time in your life, you'll believe it.

smell her hair. talk to her in movie theaters. hold her hand while you talk. tell her shes beautiful. look her in the eyes when you talk to her. tell her stupid jokes. let her play with your hair. just walk around with her. look at her like shes the only girl you see. tickle her, even if she says stop. when she starts swearing at you, tell her you love her. let her fall asleep in your arms. get her mad, then kiss her. tease her. let her tease you back. kiss her forehead. when shes sad, hang out with her. let her take all the photos of you she wants. kiss her in the rain.. And when you fall in love with her, tell her...

As he kissed me, I wondered how, in the middle of a rainstorm I could feel like I was burning alive.

people always tell me that they don't understand why i still like him. i don't want them to understand. if they did, they'd love him too.

It's not that I don't want to, it's not that I can't, it's just that...well, I don't even know what it is to tell you the truth. There's just something about him that I love, and always will love. It's stupid really, how excited I get when the phone rings, only to pick it up to find it's not his voice on the other end. That's when the pain comes in, to realize that I was thinking of him when he wasn't thinking of me. It's nothing new though, it's been the same thing over and over again for as long as I've known him. Almost three years. Then there's how I call him, but he never answers. I leave a message, but he doesn't call me back. And it hurts. It hurts when it shouldn't. Why shouldn't it? Because he always does that. It's like he's too busy with the life he's living now, that he can't take a minute out of his day to answer his phone and talk to me. And for some reason, I still call, hoping that there's going to be that one time out of a million that he'll answer. Or, at least call me back. And I still love him. Despite all the hurt and pain he has cause me. I still love him with everything that I have. And he knows that. Maybe that's why he doesn't answer when I call him, because he loves the feeling that I love him and would do anything for him, even though it's like I don't exist to him. It makes him feel proud, knowing that there actually is someone out there who would give him the world, even though I'm not part of his?- supersexyangel (on bolt)

I love you. Not the kind they taught you about and I didn't know this either but love doesn't make things nice. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess, we aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect, not us. We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die. The storybooks are bullshit.

He's the kind of beautiful that gives you butterflies.

in every girls' life there'll always be those three guys. the one she loves, the one she hates & the one she can't get enouqh of, and in the end, they're all the same guy.

and it was through falling flat-on-my-butt in love with him that i realized the most important thing about first love: as deep as it is for you at the time, its only a teaser for even more amazing things to come. and whether first love ends dramatically or hurtfully or simply, eventually all the emotional fog surrounding it clears and we can see that first love is so special because its one of the few experiences in life when we follow only our heart- not reason, not "rules", not what other people say. maybe thats why we all hold on to our first love in some way - why we miss it or long for it, want to reclaim or redo it. because first love opens our eyes to that feeling that everyones been talking about, singing about, writing about. it makes you feel like you've crossed over from not knowing, to knowing. with first love, everything is new - and the possibilities it awakens in you are exhilarating.-jessica blatt

You live and you breath and then you die. In between...if your lucky...you fall in love. Some loves stay forever...others are lost in only a day. But it's still there, underneath all the hurt and pride and years. If its true love...it's never forgotten. So when someone says their in love...don't tell them they can't be. Don't say their too young or its too soon. Love knows no age or length of time. Love is a feeling...deep in your heart...that squeezes you tight and you never want to let it go

You and Me, you know that we, were always funny in that car crash sort of way

Love. How often that word had come up in books. Over and over again. If you had wealth and health, and beauty and talent... you had nothing if you didn't have love. Love changed all that was ordinary  into something giddy, powerful, drunken, enchanting- VC Andrews (Flowers In The Attic)

Perhaps lovers aren't supposed  to look down at the ground. The earth represents reality, frustrations, chance illness, death, murder, and tragedy. Lovers are meant to look up at the sky, for up there no beautiful illusions can be trampled on- VC Andrews (Flowers In The Attic)

Everybody has a 'gripping stranger' in their lives... a stranger who unwittingly possesses a bizarre hold over you. Maybe it's the kid in cutoffs who mows your lawn or the woman wearing White Shoulders who stamps your book at the library - a stranger who, if you were to come home and find a message from them on your answering machine saying 'Drop everything. I love you. Come away with me now to Florida.' You'd follow them

Vogue magazine, empty coffee cup. Out of curiosity, I picked it up. It said, "does he still love you, turn to page 123." That's when I realized she had left it there for me. Question number one, "does he still kiss you goodnight?" Number two was if he does, "does he still close his eyes?" Three, "does he still call you just to hear your voice?" Four, "would he be home right now, if he had a choice?" Five's a little tricky. "Do you think he's being true? 'Cause you're either halfway finished, or you're over halfway through." Six said, "do you ever cry when you're all by yourself?" Seven, "do you think he'd change if he knew how you felt?" I skipped down to ten to see what she had written there. It said, "do you still love him?" Damn that questionnaire..

We are all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you've been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there's no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. It isn't until you finally run up against your deepest demons-your unsolvable problems- the ones that make you who you truly are- that you're ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you are looking for. You are looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the "right" wrong person- someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, "This is the problem I want to have." I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way

Do you wanna be the boy I tell all my secrets to, or the boy all my secrets are about?

It's getting weird, I used to be able to say anything to you and do anything around. Now, I just avoid you for the fear of falling for you more than I already have.

So it goes unsaid that we've been here before.  Lonely nights and endless fights and sleeping on the floor.  And he's sorry, so the story goes.  It's read and replayed and ends the same way

Two people can't experience the fullness of true love until not only their eyes but their hearts learn to be still-Brandon Boyd (Hers Is Beauty)

I think I loved you more that summer then I ever loved anyone-The Notebook

You are and always have been the best thing in my life-The Notebook

Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it is like for me, I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love despite our differences and once we did something rare and beautiful was created. Formed, love like this has happened only once and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it-The Notebook

I know in my heart that one day I will find a man who thinks all of my scars are beautiful-Beth_Lynn_14

I really don't care what he looks like, what he's wearing, how his hair looks, what kind of mood he's in, or what he says to me. I've gotten to a point where all I see is his heart, and that makes the other things seem so much better.-Beth_Lynn_14 (on bolt)Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile.-Sean Connery 

Sometimes I wonder if you were already my life and I just now walked into it-number1brat_16 (on bolt)

When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmare’s still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. ‘It’s all right' we whisper, 'I'm here, I love you.' and we lie: 'I'll never leave you.' For just a moment or two the darkness doesn't seem so bad.-Neil Gaiman

It's not every day someone wanders into my life the way you did.-Daniel Hackworth

Love makes me want to get out of bed in the morning, and you know that's got to be something cause it takes a lot to drag my ass out of bed.-Biz

She says, love, and it's a question but she's not sure what she's asking.-Jon McGregor

You're reading my mind as if it were a book with pages flipping before your eyes-Samrushing (on bolt)

Someone out there is meant to be the love of your life, your best friend, your soul mate, the one you can tell your dreams to. He'll smile at you for no reason, but he'll never laugh at your silly insecurities. He'll brush the hair out of your eyes and bring you soup when your sick, he'll call to tell you goodnight just before he goes to bed because he wants your voice to be the last the he hears before he falls asleep. Completely unexpectedly, he'll tilt your chin up, look into your eyes, and tell you that your the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, and for the first time in your life, you'll believe it.-whitz16704 (on bolt)

I was totally over it.  I told myself that I had been led on long enough; I was over and done with it.  And then he looked at me...

At one point, your heart has to choose between the one you have always loved and the one you truly love.

I can't remember what he looks like anymore; only the way I felt when he touched me.

Don't love me to death, love me to life.

His eyes are the palest shade of silver, so surprising that when he stares at me, sometimes I forget what I was going to say.

She could both infuriate and reduce me to tears simultaneously. All my feelings about her warred with each other. I loved her so much that I also had to hate her.

so when you arrived I looked in your eyes and all I could see was forever.

it's not about butterflies in the first kiss, but that they are there in the last

He was so imperfect already, I could only imagine what structural damage lay beneath, but still, as he kissed me, it didn't seem to matter.

I told him I was afraid of falling and he whispered 'I have wings'

Calling it a simple school girl crush was like saying a Rolls Royce was a vehicle with four wheels, something like a hay wagon. She did not giggle wildly and blush when she saw him, nor did she chalk his name on trees or write it on the walls of the kissing bridge. She simply lived with his face in her heart

Her ring is on your finger but my heart is in your hands

And when he kissed me that night I couldn't help but think this is exactly what I have waited for my entire life

The best feeling in the world is to be millions of miles away and still be able to picture his eyes.

Sometimes you meet someone before you even know their name, before you know where they're from, you know that sometime in the future this person is going to the mean something to you.

As usual, as always, the world meant him

"Why Me?" I asked him "Why Not?" he said. That’s when I fell in love.

Love makes us all a little weaker, but in the end we all turn out a little stronger

You know when you're singing along with this song, and you know all the words cause you really love it. Then a train passes or a door closes, and you can't hear the music anymore, but you keep singing anyway. Then, when you can hear it again, you're still perfectly in time with it. Well, that's what love is.

Her lips could tell him better than all her stumbling words.

I wanna be the girl that he talks to his friends about, I wanna be the girl that always comes first, I wanna be the girl he never wants to leave alone, I wanna be the girl who's hand he's holding, I wanna be the girl he looks at and smiles and then says to his friends, "That's her, she's the one.

I love him! I love him for the man he wants to be! And I love him for the man that he almost is.

Did you ever wonder if dreams could come true, if love songs and fairy tales were ever meant for you? Did you ever wonder, what's at the rainbow's end? If Romeo and Juliet could ever happen again?

I don't know what it is really, but sometimes it takes everything in me to not reach out and run my fingers through your hait or turn around and hug you when you are least expecting it.

When You Fall In Love...I guess nobody ever does mean to fall in love. But it happens, and love brands itself on your brain. It's like a new street appearing overnight in the city you've lived in your whole life. The street is one way - you can't turn around and get off it - And it curves up ahead so that you can only see far enough to know that you are veering into the unknown.

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere they're in each other all along.

Letting go is not the way of loving someone, it means you're putting him on the wrong path. Instead, fight for him; that's what true love is.

To know I was beautiful in his eyes made me beautiful...I had never been beautiful before

When I see him; his smile, those eyes, just everything about him, I end up loving him just as much as I did before I stopped. I guess once you love someone, and admit it, there’s no crossing back. It's a line that will forever stay embedded deep within your heart, because once you have loved someone, it doesn't go away...you're forced to care

To me, love is having your head tell you to slap him but all you wanna do is look into his eyes and smile.

If I were peter pan, you would be my happy thought

Your heart never breaks, it goes through a process of getting stronger

He could make me do anything sometimes, just by looking at me in a certain way. Pretty much the way he was looking at me right now

Slowly, the smile I knew and dreaded crept across his face. "You love me," he said simply.

You know you're in love when all you can think about is that one special person and you can't stand to be away from them for more then one second. You miss them even though they're standing right next to you. You fall asleep thinking about them, and dream about them every night.

You see, being with you makes me feel free, yet so afraid at the same time. I am scared that I will fall in love, fall so fast, that you'll up and leave me. But, when I'm with you, you make me forget about all the bad and remind me of what it is like to be in love... to be in love with you.

Oftentimes we say goodbye to the person we love without wanting to.

Though that doesn’t mean that we've stopped loving them or we've stopped caring. Sometimes goodbye is a painful way to say I love you.

Sometimes I look at you...and you seem to be looking back at me...but sometimes you look away...like you're afraid of what might happen if you look a second longer

Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.

Love is like grass. If you fall on it, it may leave a stain and some temporary pain. But you'll get over the pain; it will eventually stop hurting. Now maybe the stain ruined your favorite pair of jeans, or maybe it was nothing special that was ruined, but either way the stain remains there. And with time it will begin to fade, but it will always be there, a permanent reminder that you, too, once fell

It's hard to love someone who's in love with someone else, you have to ignore the pain and swallow your pride. Just to be a friend... but that's all worth it because sometimes friendship lasts longer than love.

He holds me when I start to cry, makes me smile with just his eyes, and shares my hopes, dreams and fears. Wipes away all my tears. I love him without regret... I just haven't found him yet.

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart, or burn down your house, you can never tell.

If falling in love was a sin then I would gladly go to hell for loving you.

Love itself is what is left over when the being in love has burned away

Those who really love you, don't mean to hurt you

I love you, not for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you

Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts.

Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I said I cared, but you just smiled at me. I said I missed you, but you just shrugged your shoulders. I said I loved you, but you just looked at me. I turned my back and walked away, but you said, 'Wait....'

It's not just a physical attraction, I love him for every single thing he is. Every word he says, every step he takes. This is something that will never die. I have tried to stay reasonable with this, but I just can't anymore. I just can't.

Always have hope for the guy who turns around when he's walking away.

May he love tomorrow who has never loved before; and may he who has loved, love tomorrow as well.

A life without love is an endless monotony

Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings 

Do you ever wish you could just freeze one second and put it into a box, and like jump into it and stay there forever? I do right now. In fact, I do every time I'm with you.

I don't want a man who will give me the world. I want a man who will share it with me

you know you're in love when you miss them before they leave

You are the reason I live, and the reason I die. You are the reason I smile and the reason I cry. You are the reason I stand, and the reason I fall. The truth is, if there wasn't a you, there wouldn't be a me at all.

At some point in every girl's past there's a love she will never forget and a summer where it all began.

So he's not the brightest crayon in the box...he's still my favorite color

For every word I speak, I think so many more. For every thought I think, I dream a million more. For every time I give my heart away, I still have more to give, but what I want in life is someone that makes me want to live!

High school is the same everywhere. There is always that someone who makes you want to get up in the mornings.

Every girl wants a Prince Charming, and while he may be nice and all, I'm thinking that I'd rather have the guy that's gonna call at 4 in the morning just to say hi. Or someone who will stop by my house after just hanging up the phone because he wants to see how I'm really doing, because I said I was fine, but we both know I'm lying. Or the guy who'll stay home on a Saturday night with me because I'm sick. That guy, that one guy, he may not be Prince Charming to anyone else...but he'd be my hero. My "knight in shining armor." Anyone who'd rather stay home on a Saturday night and hold my hair while I puke...that's a hero.

Run your fingers through my soul. Feel exactly what I feel, believe what I believe, perceive as I perceive, look, experience, examine and for once, just once, understand...                                                  

A girl asked a boy if she was pretty.  He said No.  She asked him if he wanted to be with her forever.  He said No.  She then asked him if he would cry if she walked away.  He again said No.   She had heard too much.  She needed to leave.  As she walked away, he grabbed her and told her to stay, he said, "you're not pretty, you're beautiful. I don't want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. I wouldn't cry if you walked away, I would die!
