I dressed the part and slipped into my Sunday best. I peeled open the heavy doors to every church I could find.

I have imprinted on you and all those miles between us only keep us apart because we let them.

The listlessness of it all, the profit off depression, the extinction of an entire species, the chlorinated connections- poisoned just to appear clean.

I lie and tell you I had a dream about you last night, so it makes it more socially acceptable to reach out to someone I haven’t spoken to in years.

I’m just a broken person looking for other broken people who may have gotten shards of me stuck in their feet and aren’t too concerned about pulling them out.

You can tell a lot about a person by listening to the way they talk about someone they once loved.

I’m a different man now. I’m still a romantic, I still believe in love, but when I met Barbara I was looking for it. Now, I don’t know.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them-we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

There’s nothing more romantic than getting down in the dirt and plowing through the weeds, brambles, thickets, and dry land of life with someone just as willing by your side.

The love we shared is a paper town on a map we drew ourselves, drunk and fucked and needing to be more than we were.

Loving can cost a lot but not loving always costs more, and those who fear to love often find that want of love is an emptiness that robs the joy from life.

You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece.

Love is only one fine star away.

My demons are begging me to open up my mouth.

Tonight, once more, life sinks its teeth into my heart.

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

Love can be hard. Love requires you to be kind when you are angry, patient when you feel anxious, compassionate when you judge others, caring when you feel apathetic, trust when you’ve been wronged, let go when you want to hold on, know that the other person is you, take risks when you’re scared, to always see the lesson and never look back once you’ve decided. – Jackson Kiddard

I’ve always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.

There is no remedy for love than to love more.
