One day I will learn your name, and I will write it somewhere on this page. And we will realize that we have known each other all along

I know what you're thinking. Sounds depressing. More like a tragedy. Love isn't always pretty. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it'll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you're back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.

“It’s funny because when you’re a child, you believe you can be anything you want to be, go wherever you want to go. There’s no limit to what you can dream. You expect the unexpected, you believe in magic, in fairy tales, and in possibilities. Then you grow older and that innocence is shattered and somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way and you’re hit by the realization that you can’t be all you wanted to be, you just might have to settle for a little bit less. Or perhaps a variation of what you once wanted.”

The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan. It is a good book, indeed. It inspires me to learn more words and beyond words. It teaches me that words don't just have meanings, but feelings. I learn the meaning of it and the meaning of saying it, or reading it. Words are little things we do in our everydays, but ignored in some ways. Words help on showing us things that other's don't see. Words are making us feel what others can't imagine.

It was one thing to leave. But to be left. That had to be even worse.
