You speak my name, shivers roll down my spine. You say goodbye, My heart screams, "Why aren't you mine." I lie awake every night, in utter frustration. Because each time I s...

&quot;You miss 100% of the shots you dont take.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes, only then you would realize how special you are to me.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The hardest part of loving someone is knowing when to let go and knowing when to say goodbye.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;There&#039;s things we don&#039;t want to happen but have to accept, and people we can&#039;t live without and have to let go..&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can&#039;t breathe without them.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Missing someone isn&#039;t about how long since you&#039;ve last seen them.. It&#039;s about the very moment where you wish they were there with you.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Memories are a way of holding on to things you love, and things you never want to lose.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You make me cry so much - yet I&#039;m still not leaving you. Cos if I do, I&#039;ll cry even more.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;When you feel like giving up, think of all the struggle you had to go through to get to where you are now.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Just because she doesnt have 100+ likes on her profile pic, it doesn&#039;t mean she&#039;s not gorgeous. She&#039;s pretty, it&#039;s just society that&#039;s ugly.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Some people make my world special, just by being in it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You can close your eyes to the things you don&#039;t want to see, but you can&#039;t close your heart to the things you don&#039;t want to feel.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It&#039;s not that I want to leave... I just want the best for you. Even if it means swallowing down the sad reality that you DO deserve better.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You&#039;re weird and have many imperfections... but that&#039;s the reason I chose you, and the reason why I love you. (:&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You may have forgiven me, but I&#039;ll never be able to forgive myself for all the pain I caused you...&quot;
