Excerpts from the Heart

We’re intricately made and crafted to have a natural compulsion to fill empty spaces. which explains why we crave and yearn for that one person to love us the way we love them.

[excerptfromtheheart]

I noticed today that every inch of your arms are covered in freckles. I'm beginning to memorize you and that's terrifying to me.

Having a crush is the most illogical thing ever. You wish with all of your heart that they knew how you felt but do everything in your power to keep them from finding out.

One day, I will see you again. And that simple thought alone keeps me going.

[excerptfromtheheart]

One of these days, I am going to kiss you, I am just going to grab you by your shirt collar and press my lips against yours. I don't care if you end up hating me for the rest of my life. Because until I kiss you, nothing in my life has meaning

"By the way, you can have your heart back," he said, reaching into his chest and throwing a red object onto the ground. We both stood there a moment, staring at my heart lying in the cold black dirt, still beating feebly. "It's shattered," I whispered. He stooped down and picked it up gingerly, brushing off little clumps of dirt. "I think it's okay," he said awkwardly. He stretched out his other hand toward me and cleared his throat. "Can I have mine?" I wrapped my arms around my body protectively. "You've already taken so much, can't I keep it?" I pleaded. He shook his head. Then he leaned forward. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my heart skip a beat. But he thrust his hand into my chest and with a deft twist, wrenched his heart right out of my body. The first sting of pain was so sharp that I gasped, doubling over on the ground. But after few moments, the sharpness subsided and was overtaken by a low, dull throbbing of pain that settled deep in the gaping hole inside me, like the white glitter in a snow globe. I looked up, the life gone from my eyes. But he didn't see, he was already gone.

everyone meets that one person.  you know which one im talking about.  the one you love unconditionally, the miracle you find when you're young.  that one with the eyes, the hair.  and, oh, that voice.  you could pick it out of a crowd, a million miles away, underwater, with your ears chopped off.  their shoulders are to die for and the way they carry themself makes you believe in a greater good.  you know the corners of their mind perfectly, and their lips are hotter and sweeter than you ever could've imagined.  the one whose fingers you could trace for years and whose tears you'd rather love to make disappear. you know which one im talking about, don't you?  that one.  yes, that one.

[excerptfromtheheart]

Because 'just friends' don't have a magnetic pull inside of them, that reacts when the other is near. 'Just friends' don't look at each other for what feels like hours at a time just smiling until the other one giggles and looks away. 'Just friends' dont have an electric rush when their hands accidentally brush. There is definitely something more going on between you and I. Now if only one of us had enough courage to say something, to do something.

And then I talk to you again and it all comes back. All of it. All my feelings, all the conversations, all the memories, all the jokes you made that made me fall for you. And I can't not want you.

I keep telling myself I won't wait for you forever. But the truth is, I couldn't stop loving you if I tried.

And I hate that we've become just another pair of might-have-been-somethings.

[excerptfromtheheart]

Our love was inevitable. Our love was destined. Our love was strong and fun and scary and enlightening. Some people will never live to experience such love. It is heartbreaking that mine is over now.

[excerptfromtheheart]

And I can feel my heart breaking in my chest. It drips icy cold throughout my ribcage, filling my torso with a hollow ache. It's an empty ache. It's missing something, but the knowledge of what it is is reserved for my mind only. It's the heartbreak that is enough that it becomes a body ache, but I let my mind take most of the hit.

You meet others, to distract you from your personal abyss of longing.

You're the wind and you know no bounds, you see no end to anything. You're here one day and the next, you're gone.

[excerptfromtheheart]

we keep convincing ourselves that our happiness lies on one set of lips, that our lives would be beachy if we just managed to receive one kiss, or one wedding, or one boyfriend. but love isn't about kisses or weddings or titles. it's about how much you care, how long you will listen, how far you will go and to what lengths you will forgive. the bottom line is, if you truly, deeply and honestly love someone, you will want them in your life, even if you never receive that kiss or that wedding.

[excerptfromtheheart]

Two years. 1000 dreams. 1,000,000 day dreams. 100 times I've passed you in the hallway. 4 times I caught you looking at me that night. 2 times I cried for you. 1 time I honestly believed something would happen. 0 times something actually did. Those are our statistics, John. I am a silly, silly girl. I can't believe I still have feelings for you. After all this time. I wonder if they will ever go away or if I'll forever compare the world to you.
