There isn't another soul on this planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me.  Strange how a single conversation can change you. Or maybe it only seems that way in retrospect. A year passes and you know you feel differently, but you’re not sure what or why or how, so your mind casts back for something that might give that difference shape: a word, a glance, a touch.  There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say, "Watch me."  If you desire love in your life, cultivate it yourself in your own dreams and desires, in the mark you want to make during your brief span here. In the lessons learned, in this smiles as much as the scars. Fill yourself up with love rather than waiting for someone to do it for you.  I think apathy is the easiest trap to fall into. And I think the best thing a person can do to avoid it is to stay passionate. Because the times of utter misery are so worth it for the times of complete happiness. Never allow yourself to stop caring. Feeling too much is better than not feeling enough.  Make the most of yourself, that’s all there is of you.  If your wish doesn't come true, something better was meant for you.  It's not the end that matters, It's the places we go and the people we meet. It's how many times we smiled and laughed; how many times we fell in love and got hurt. How many times we got kissed in the rain. It's not seeing what happens after it ends but living long enough to see who's still by your side when it ends. It's the people and the memories you make that makes seing your life through worth it. It's the ride that gets us there.  We all get lost once in a while, sometimes by choice, sometimes due to forces beyond our control. When we learn what it is our soul needs to learn, the path presents itself. Sometimes we see the way out but wander further and deeper despite ourselves; the fear, the anger or the sadness preventing us returning. Sometimes we prefer to be lost and wandering, sometimes it's easier. Sometimes we find our own way out. But regardless, always, we are found.  Loving you is the easiest thing I've ever done in my life.  Memories were fine but you couldn't touch them, smell them, or hold them. They were never exactly as the moment was, and they faded with time.  I believe in the magic of books. I believe that during certain periods in our lives we are drawn to particular books- whether it's strolling down the aisles of a bookshop with no idea whatsoever of what it is that we want to read and suddenly finding the most perfect, most wonderfully suitable book staring us right in the face. Unblinking. Or a chance meeting with a stranger or friend who recommends a book we would never ordinarily reach for. Books have the ability to find their own way into our lives.  The bad news is, your choices and intentions, some people and places, those nights spent awake and all you’ve done, can lead you to the bottom of the pit. The good news is this wouldn’t be the first time someone’s crawled, tooth and nail, out of hell.
