No matter how honestly you open up to someone, there are still things you cannot reveal.

The ones who notice the storms in your eyes, the silence in your voice and the heaviness in your heart are the ones you need to let in.

Invest your love to someone who will make you cry because of happiness and not sadness.

One minute they ache to touch you, the next day they want nothing to do with you. Feelings are a fickle thing. You want answers, you need closure, and now you’re laying awake at night trying to hold yourself together because you allowed yourself to be vulnerable. You are full of love for someone who saw what you had to offer – and they decided they didn’t want it. This, an unbearable version of the many forms of loneliness.

Sometimes you tell someone to never call you again and then the phone rings and you hope it’s them. It’s the most twisted logic of all time.

“When should you let go?” She asked, with her chin rested on her palm.

All suffering originates from craving, from attachment, from desire.

Eventually soulmates meet, for they have the same hiding place.
