This girl is on fire

I want to wear your sweatshirt in bed, watch scary movies with you, talk on the phone until sunrise, sneak out at night to look at the stars with you, play your favorite video game, make you watch chick flicks, kiss you in the rain, go on walks with you, laugh until I can’t breathe, hold hands, build a fort and have a snow ball fight, sit in front of the fireplace and talk about life. I want to fall hopelessly in love with you.
And so, while the rest of the world went on unaware, drinking their coffee, reading the sports page, and picking up their dry cleanin g, I leaned forward and kissed him, making a choice that would change everything. Maybe somewhere there was a ripple, a bit of a jump, some small shift in the universe, barely noticeable. I didn’t feel it then. I felt only him kissing me back, easing into the sunlight as I lost myself in the taste of him and felt the world go on, just as it always had, all around us.
Sometimes you make no mistakes, do everything right, and still lose.
Be a best friend, tell the truth, and over-use “I love you,” go to work, do your best, don’t outsmart your common sense, never let your prayin’ knees get lazy, and love like crazy.
When you walk away from something and there’s no gravitational pull, then you know you’re doing the right thing.
Chances are like lightning, they never hit the earth at the same spot twice. So when a chance comes your way, grab it cause it may never come again.
Sometimes there doesn’t even have to be a reason. I knew from experience that no matter how much you turn things in your head, trying to make sense of them, Some people just defy all logic.
You hold on to things that were. You wonder what’s to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead of what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn’t have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves for growing up.
I’m a straight-forward kinda girl. If you ask me what I’m thinking I’ll tell you, no sugar coating because that’s not what life is about. It’s about dealing with the pain that comes along, so if you are going to tell me how you feel, don’t lie. If I ask you something, I want to know the truth, not the lie.
You just have to go after what you want and if it doesn’t want you back, then so be it. It doesn’t deserve you anyways.
Did you know that the heart has no pain receptors? So the next time someone breaks you heart, move on. Your pain is just an illusion, a temporary psychological disturbance that you have to overcome. In short, it’s all in the mind.
Because sometimes there is no easy way out. You just have to grin and bear it. Sometimes the only escape route is to go straight through the flames. Just brace yourself and bite your lip. Sometimes you have to sever the ties clean off. Because in every relationship, there comes a point when the damage is too much and no matter how good it once was, the memories can’t sustain you. You have to save yourself knowing all the while it will hurt like hell. Because you can’t keep giving someone everything if you get nothing in return.
