The strings Squeaking like new shoes The fire crackling The gentle swaying of the crowd My voice, echoing over their heads It's sunset All the eyes are on me I pretend like...

&quot;You know what it feels like when all your teeth are falling out really slowly and you don&#039;t realize and then you notice that, well, they&#039;re really far apart. And then one day... you don&#039;t have any teeth anymore.&quot; - Where the Wild Things Are

&quot;He&rsquo;s not perfect. You aren&rsquo;t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn&rsquo;t going to quote poetry, he&rsquo;s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don&rsquo;t hurt him, don&rsquo;t change him, and don&rsquo;t expect for more than he can give. Don&rsquo;t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he&rsquo;s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don&rsquo;t exist, but there&rsquo;s always one guy that is perfect for you.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Bob Marley
