Queen of Quotes

"We cling to music, to poems, to quotes, to writing, to art because we desperately do not want to be alone. We want to know we aren't going crazy and someone else out there knows exactly how you're feeling. We want someone to explain the things we can't."

[otherunningwriter]

Somebody who betters you. Somebody who inspires and encourages you in love and in life, who pushes you toward dreams and goals you’d otherwise ignore, who selflessly sacrifices their time to helping you become a more courageous, well rounded, and happy human being. That’s sacred. You hold onto a love like that.

2  a.m.

There are three kinds of people still up at 2 am. The first are the hopeless romantics. Still up with their other half. Eye lids grow heavy and the time between the texts slow as they succumb to their tiredness, falling asleep smiling. Words are slurred and soft giggles are the only thing keeping the two on FaceTime awake. Two more relax as they blissfully fall asleep in each other’s arms.

The second are the ones with the tears streaming down their face. Their sobs are silenced by a hand or a pillow. The sheets mop up the waterfall on their face. They only wish to be happy. They fall into a deep, unsteady sleep. For the third time this week.

The last, well, they’re just trying to figure it all out. Calm music plays in the background as they work on something else. Reading, writing, drawing, watching, thinking. They’re just trying to understand the mess of their own life. Trying to figure out where they went wrong or what could have been.

2 a.m. is the time for the lovers, the lonely, and the lost.

Because I have decided on you, don’t you get that? You have got the arms I want to be wrapped in. You have got the eyes I want to get lost in. You have got the smile I can never resist. You have got the voice I want to listen to for hours. I have decided on you, I want you and only you.
