It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it’s so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn’t come back. You’re left so alone that you can’t explain.
Damn, there’s nothing like that, is there? I’ve been there and you have too. You’re nodding your head.

"There’s a folder of pictures I can’t open. There’s so many songs that don’t sound the same. There’s a number I can’t dial and a message I can’t send. There’s a restaurant I can’t eat at, not with any friends. There’s words and names I can only say in my head. There’s a pair of eyes that belong to you, that I can never look into again."
I Wrote This For You (via undermysombrero)
"We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity."
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist (via light-essence)

"You can’t waste time over missing something in the past. Life changes, people grow up and grow apart, and you accept that. Yet you still can’t stop thinking of how good it used to be; afraid you’ll never experience it again, afraid you’ve already lived it and already lost it."
