“You like someone who can't like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot. ”

“You like someone who can’t like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.”

“Unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.”

“First love is unrequited ultimately because it’s so huge.It’s such an act of giving and it requires so much back that it can never be given back. It’s like an atom bomb. It’s like… It’s all the energy of who you are and who you want to be and what you love and what you hope to be explodes. It is impossible for a single... human being to offer that back to you in a mutual way.”

“Because once you love, it is gone. You love and you cannot call it back.”

“If you loved someone, if someone loved you, if they taught you to write and made it so you could speak, how can you do nothing at all? You might as well take their words out of the dirt and try to snatch them from the wind. Because once you love, it is gone. You love and you cannot call it back.”
