“When you fall in Love with someone, you can never imagine being without them. But when you fall in Love a second time, you can never imagine you were with them in the first place. Though Love continues on in the heart, the brain often forgets.”
“...and when you meet someone and fall in love, and they fall in love with you, you ask them "Will you take my heart-- stains and all?" and they say "I will," and they ask you the same question and you say, "I will," too.”
“You can’t herd the stars. You can only gaze at them, never touch, like love. Yes, you can ‘be’ in love and ‘fall’ in love, but you can never ‘touch’ love. You can only touch things that represent love, like a lover, or a book, or a lover’s book, or lovers in a book.”
“You can only understand the pain of love when you fall in love with someone you cannot afford to have.”
“...falling in love and trying to make someone fall in love with you and working to stay in love and forcing yourself to fall out of love with someone who will never love you back is much, much more exhausting than being alone.”
“You can love someone so much...But you can never love people as much as you can miss them.”
