Skyrockets in flight

To love someone is a very special thing, but for that someone to love you back is more of a miracle. If you happen to stumble upon such a miracle, make sure you realize it. Never take it for granted, never throw it away, never let it sit, and most of all never let it die.

What do you want me to say? That I'm hurt? You already know I'm hurt. Do you want me to tell you I'm angry? You already know that as well. I don't have anything to say. I just want to know when exactly you decided it was okay if you broke my heart.

If you have found somebody to be with your ass every god damn day, you need to be happy about that shit. Just every god damn day, "You again?! Shit! Why don't you just take a vacation or some shit?!"

I love you and I don't want to lose you because my life has been better since the day that I found you.

Happiness is a mood and a condition; it's not a destination. It's like being tired of hungry; it's not permanent, it comes and goes, and that's okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they'd find happiness a lot more often.

They were right in putting love into books; perhaps it could not live anywhere else.

You can say sorry a million times, say "I love you" as much as you want, say whatever you want whenever you want. But if you're not going to prove that the things you say are true, then don't say anything at all. Because if you can't show it, your words don't mean a thing.

Then he slipped his arm around her waist, pressing his head to hers. She loved that best, even more than fucking. She could never have imagined such a little thing could fill her with such indescribable sweetness, she felt too small to hold it.

I don't care if it's going anywhere. I really like wasting my time on you.

You still make me blush.

Love this

Consider Me Gone
Reba McEntire

Every time I turn the conversation
To something deeper than the weather
I can feel you always shutting down
And when I need an explanation for the silence
You just tell me you don't wanna talk about it now

What you're not saying is coming in loud and clear
We're at a crossroads here

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you
If you don't get drunk on my kiss
If you think you can do better than this
Then I guess we're done
Let's not drag this on
Consider me gone

With you I've always been wide open
Like a window or an ocean
There is nothing I've ever tried to hide
So when you leave me not knowing where you're going
I start thinking that we're looking
We're looking at goodbye

How about a strong shot of honesty?
Don't you owe that to me?

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you
If you don't get drunk on my kiss
If you think you can do better than this
Then I guess we're done
Let's not drag this on
Consider me gone

Consider me a memory
Consider me the past
Consider me a smile in a old photograph
Someone who used to make you laugh

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you
Then I guess we're done
Let's not drag this on
Consider me gone
Just consider me gone

I'm not giving up on you. It may seem like I hate you and that it's impossible that we shared so many great feelings together, but we did. And I still feel them. Every day. That's why I hurt so badly. You were never good at expressing your emotions, and I have always been too good at it. So I say "I hate you" and you say "that sucks." But no matter what happens in this break up, I'm not giving up on you. I know you can be what I need you to be if you'd only just open your heart. Let it bleed. It hurts before it gets better. I'm not giving up on you.
*mine*

What exactly goes through your mind when you look at me tonight? Do you still think the things you used to? Do you still miss me while you're trying to sleep? Am I still the girl you'd do anything to keep? Do you still feel like you know me like you've known me forever? Does your world still crumble when I'm nowhere near? Do I still complete you and make you whole? Does the way I love you and make you feel still amaze you? Am I still teaching you new things about love?
*mine*

Perfect Situational Song

I Got Nothin'
Darius Rucker

It's my third cup of coffee
Fifth time I've said I'm sorry
The sun slowly peeking through the glass
Says we've been up all night

We both know where this is going
It's been a long time coming
Is it really over?
Is this really goodbye?

Maybe I should say something
Maybe you'd change your mind
Maybe, maybe
Buy a little more time

But I got nothin'
No magic words
To stop your leavin'
To end this hurt
I'm just blank
I'm staring into space
Praying please, please
Let me think of something
But I got nothin'

I watch you pack your things
You look down at your ring
You slowly slip it off
And then you lay it on our bed

Maybe I should pick it up
And get down on my knees
Tell you what you wanna hear
And give you what you need

But I got nothin'
No magic words
To stop your leavin'
To end this hurt
I'm just blank
I'm staring into space
Praying please, please
Let me think of something
But I got nothin'

You're almost at the door
And you stop and turn around
Your eyes are begging me
Please say something right now

But I got nothin'
No magic words
To stop your leavin'
And I can't end this hurt
I'm just blank
I'm staring into space
Praying please, please
Let me think of something

Cause if you go...
I got nothin'

Storm Warning

And why, by the way, does it seem that half the time you didn't even know you were in love until you lost it?

I wish I knew what men wanted. They seem to love an independent woman until they lose control of her.

What do I want to be in five years?
...Happy.

I'm not going anywhere. This is it for me. You're it for me. I can't pretend to feel any less than I do. I'm sorry, I just can't.

And when, one day, we part ways, my only regret will be that I couldn't give you enough reason to stay.

*mine*

Three words. Eight letters. Say them, and I'm yours.

I love how we can just argue and mess around because we don't have to show other people how much we love each other. Because all that really matters is that both you and I know.

I love you and I don't want to lose you because my life has been better since the day I found you.

I wanted to sleep with her, in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.

Always leave them wanting more.

Empty spaces in my heart where my love used to be

We all carry these things inside that no one else can see. They hold us down like anchors; they drown us out at sea.

He left me while it was raining. As if it would magically cover up his tracks, or the sound of his footsteps walking out the door. Maybe he thought he wouldn't be able to hear my screams and cries while the thunder was booming. But he didn't know that the lightning would light up the walkway as I watched him disappear from my upstairs window.

Don't blame me for looking away; I can't afford another heartbreak.

I don't stand a chance, but I'm going to love you anyway.

You've got eyes that twinkle and a smile that crinkles, but your heart doesn't let me in.

Look, I'm going to find a way to be happy, and I'd really love to be happy with you. But if I can't be happy with you then I'll find a way to be happy without you.

 I learned that when you love someone, you should treat them the way you feel because sometimes saying it isn't enough.

As they say, timing is everything.

Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head? And does he sing to you incessantly from the space between your bed? Does he walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes, looking down every few steps to pretend he walks with you? Oh, does he know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched? And does he cry through broken sentences like, "I love you far too much?" Does he lay awake listening to your breath; worried you smoke too many cigarettes? 

If something needs doing, you just do it. Otherwise what good are you?

Hold me close, baby, don't let me go

Don't look at what he is not. Look at what he is.

I'm ready to be the girl I used to be. The one that never cried, the one that didn't get mad at stupid little things, the one that didn't sit around and worry about love.

 I didn't as for easy, I asked for you.

Yeah, I notice you because you're hot; but I also notice you because you're mine.

I'm not cranky. I just have a violent reaction to unintelligent people.

 You can spend the night beside her. And you know she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

 Don't be careless just care less.

If something needs doing, you just do it. Otherwise what good are you?

Cause I'm about to set fire to everything I see

Do you know when to walk away? Do you know when not to take less than what you deserve?

I cannot imagine what it would feel like to all of the sudden be hit with the realization that the one person you love more than anyone or anything in the world is never coming back. You'll never see them again. You'll never hear their voice again. They're not coming back even to say goodbye. I cannot even imagine...

*mine*

 

 Love is only as complicated as we make it.

I wanted to be the person he told things to. I wanted him to think I was pretty. I wanted him to be reminded of me by stuff I liked - the color green and pink lemonade and friendship bracelets. And I wanted him to miss me when we were apart. I wanted him to feel, when we were lying in bed together, like he couldn't imagine anywhere better.

You're like a bolt of lightning when I'm standing in an open field with nothing and no one to protect me. You electrify my heart.

If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free.

When a girl says, "I'm done," it usually means, "Fight for me." 

Don't be careless just care less.

You can spend the night beside her. And you know she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

I believed in love once - and love failed me.

If this was a movie

Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty is the face in the mirror, looking back at you. You walk around here thinking you're not pretty. But that's not true, cause I know you.

It's like, I'm so happy. I'm happy being with you. We're happy in this relationship. And like we've said before, you and I don't normally have good relationships for this long. So I'm just kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm waiting for the huge explosion that ruins all of this happiness. I'm happy... I'm just laying beside you, smiling, staring at the ceiling and waiting for the other shoe to drop.*mine*

Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? It's not unbroken anymore. How do I get it back to the way it was before?

I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl who's desperately in love with you.

I keep thinking about how amazing we are together. We're messed up in such a way that makes us perfect for each other. But I can't help but think that someday we won't be so happy. Someday, this will end. And honestly, I just want to know when. I want to know when my happiness will be over. I just want to know so that I don't have to keep wondering whether this fight will be the last or if tonight will be the last time I get to kiss your sweet lips. I don't want the end of us to be a surprise to me. I want to know so I can have a bittersweet goodbye. So I can come to terms with it and be able to let you go when it's time.

*mine*

After everything, I must confess... I need you.

I know looks can be deceiving but I know I saw a light in you. As we walked, we were talking and I didn't say half the things I wanted to. Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window, I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold. Boy, you might have me believing I don't always have to be alone.

I've seen it all, so I thought, but I've never seen nobody shine the way you do. The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name. It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change.

Why are people always leaving? I think you and I should stay the same.

Now I'm screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain, it's 2am and I'm cursing your name. We're so in love that we act insane, and that's the way I love you. Breaking down and coming undone, it's a roller coaster kinda rush. And I never knew I could feel that much and that's the way I love you.

It must be love that I'm in

I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you for... ever. I'm a little late, I know I'm a little late but... I just want you to take your time, you know? Take all the time you need because you have a choice to make. And when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong.

Don't be flattered that they miss you. They should miss you. You're deeply missable. However, they're still the same person who broke up with you. Remember, the only reason they can miss you is because they're choosing, every day, not to be with you.

You don't just automatically love someone. You slowly learn how to trust them, how to start believing in them. You want to be with them to the point where you're jealous of anyone else who gets a little of their time. It gets you mad, but you learn to get past it, because you can't be jealous forever. And then you realize, you don't even feel jealous anymore because you have this unwavering confidence that this person will never leave you, never betray you and would never pick someone else over you. They make you feel irreplaceable. That's when it hits you. You really do love each other and it's completely unbreakable.

If I punched you in the face, would you still love me?

He completes me. He's my other half. His heart loves me even at my worst, and his arms hold me at my weakest. He's my superman... He's my man.

*mine*

Why is it that everything I love about you also grosses me out?

Just so you know, I always want your arm around me at the movies :)

*mine*

I want to wake up on Saturday morning in your old t-shirt. I want heart shaped waffles. I want fights where we end up laughing so hard we can't breathe. I want two toothbrushes in my toothbrush holder and an extra drawer with your things in it. 

*mine*   

 

I'm tough. I try to hide it. I'm difficult. But if you make an effort, I'm worth it. I'm worth the effort.

You chose to climb the mountain. You can't change your mind in the middle of the climb.

It's 3am, I must be lonely

Women are sensitive. They over think every little thing and they care about way more than they should. But that's what makes their love so strong.

Cause I'm so mad I might tell you that it's over
But if you look a little closer
I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
Screaming, "I'm in love with you."
Wait there in the pouring rain, come back for more
And don't you leave cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
-The Other Side of the Door, Taylor Swift


I've been thinking about what you said to me a few nights ago. About how much stress I'm putting on you. And you're right. It's totally unfair for all of my happiness to depend on whether or not I talk to you all day or whether or not I spend the night in your arms. So if you notice I'm distant, it's because I'm trying to put less stress on you. I'm being happy with or without you again.
*mine*

Could we fix you if you broke?
And is your punchline just a joke?
-Speechless, Lady Gaga

I just want someone to talk with me so I can empty out what I've been holding inside.


I couldn't help it. I painted this amazing picture of us. I made up this crazy story of how we were going to be. It was like we met, but we were both kind of involved with other people. And we dated and both kinda ran back to the people we were with. And then when we were finally getting somewhere I moved away. It was this huge soap opera thing. We loved each other but couldn't be together. We were scared; we were hiding. And then, one day, we just couldn't help ourselves anymore. And we've been crazy together. Now, isn't that just the most romantic thing ever? But we both know what we are isn't romantic or one of those amazing love stories. Because those aren't real. And I can't believe I got wrapped up in it and so hopeful. Why do I do this to myself?

*mine*

If worrying were an effective weight loss program, women would be invisible.

It turns out you can't save people from themselves.

We all carry these things inside that no one else can see. They hold us down like anchors; they drown us out at sea.

Kiss me like you'll never see me again.

When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

Every night I've been outside and thinking of you, and every time I'm in that situation I see a shooting star. And every wish I make is about you.

*my boo* :)

 I don't want to close my eyes because you might leave when I'm not looking. But I'm afraid to keep them open because I couldn't stand to watch you walk away.

You disappear so completely into your head sometimes. I wish I could follow you.

"I fell in love."
"Oh, as if you had no choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment. 'I can do this, I can give in to this, or I can resist it.' And I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one."

I've learned that when it hurts too much inside your heart, it always has a way of showing; no matter how many masks you wear.

I believe that for the most part, love is about choices. It's about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending...Most of the time. And sometimes, despite all your best intentions, fate wins anyway.

It's hard to find the perfect time to say something you know is going to change everything.

I'm not sentimental - I'm as romantic as you are. The idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks things will last - the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won't.

People's brains stop working when they think they're going to lose someone they love.

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.

This video is amazing...

 

The Story- Sara Ramirez 

Grey's Anatomy Clip

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been

And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby, I broke them all for you

Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess

No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through
Like you do
And I was made for you

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
It's true...I was made for you

I love this song :)

Storm Warning
By Hunter Hayes

She rolled in from the west in a summer sundress
Hotter than the heat in July
With her windblown hair it just wasn't fair
The way she was blowing in my mind
Have you ever noticed every hurricane gets it's name from a girl like this?

She's a beautiful mess,
Yeah, the kind you love to love
But what happens next?
I got a feeling when the sun comes up

I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning
I'm gonna wish I had a sign
I'm gonna wish I had a little heads up,
Little lee-way, little more time
Some kind of radar system locked in on love
I got a feeling by the time the night finds the morning
I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning
I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning

Ain't it funny how it feels when you're burning your wheels
Somewhere between going and gone?
You get so lost that you can't turn it off,
You give in and you just turn it on
She's a harp on a reign, red lips like a flame
She's the girl from your favorite song

What a beautiful mess,
One part angel, one part perfect, one part wreck
The kind of flood you'll never forget

I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning
I'm gonna wish I had a sign
I'm gonna wish I had a little heads up,
Little lee-way, little more time
Some kind of radar system locked in on love
I got a feeling by the time the night finds the morning
I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning

I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning
I'm gonna wish I had a sign
I'm gonna wish I had a little heads up,
Little lee-way, little more time
Some kind of radar system locked in on love

I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning

The world shines brighter when you're here

Bad stuff does happen sometimes. Always remember that, but remember that you have to move on somehow. You just pick up your head at stare at something beautiful like the sky, or the ocean, and you move the hell on.

For this girl, music is her life. It was there with her through all the drama, the break ups, the fights with friends. ask her to name her favorite song, she'll name ten. When she's been put down, kicked around, all she has to do is put on her headphones and walk away from it all.

I sometimes wonder how my life looks in other people's eyes. Do they think I have it easy? Do they think I have nothing going on for myself? Or are they fascinated by who I am?

I fought to get you; I fought to keep you. I lost once, but I kept fighting. Kept hoping you'd come back to me. And you did. But now I'm back to fighting to keep you again. I'm tired of fighting for you. Because all I do is lose.
*mine*

We fight mainly for one reason. Cause when you fight, you truly find out how much you're willing to take before you break and when you break you need to see if that other person truly cares enough to make everything okay again. Cause without fighting, the liars of love could be walking all over the place.

I only plan everything because you plan nothing.

Fight for Me

I said, "Leave," but all I really want is you to stand outside my window throwing pebbles, screaming, "I'm in love with you."

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking. And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me?

Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain. Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain.

I'll leave my window open, cause I'm too tired at night to call your name. Just know I"m right here hoping that you'll come in with the rain.

And I stare at the phone he still hasn't called and you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all. And I flashback to when you said forever and always.

I want this... Badly

Long Slow Kisses
-Jeff Bates


Hey baby, I guess you're wondering
What I'm doing home so soon
No, I'm not sick
It's just this morning when you told me
You didn't feel like you were the most important thing in my life

And you know what, that broke my heart
So I had to turn around and come back
And tell you what I'm gonna do about it

I'm gonna light the bedroom candles
Take the phone out of the wall
We'll lay around and talk for hours
Or maybe we won't talk at all

I'm gonna resurrect the love
That slipped away from us
And the man you've been missing
Starting with some long, slow kisses

I just wanna let you know how ashamed I am
For making you feel that way, darling
I'm so sorry, I guess I've just been
Spending too much time on making a living
And way too little on making love

But if you can find it in your heart to forgive me
Girl, I swear from this moment on
You'll always know where you stand with me

I'm gonna light the bedroom candles
Take the phone out of the wall
We'll lay around and talk for hours
Or maybe we won't talk at all

I'm gonna resurrect the love
That slipped away from us
And the man you've been missing
And I'm starting with some long, slow kisses

Cause what really matters most
Is you and me this close, feeling no distance
Sharing some long, slow kisses
Sharing some long, slow kisses

I don't wanna close my eyes

That look in your eyes leaves me breathless. The one where I can tell you're thinking about what we used to be and the fun we used to have together. It makes me start to smile. And then my mind fast-forwards to the ending of our relationship. How you screwed all those other girls and brushed off my tearful phone calls, telling me I was just too pathetic. And then... Then, I hate you.
*mine*

When I decided to be with you, I made a choice. And I keep making that choice every day.

She said, "I still love you even though you hurt and betrayed me. But if love were enough, you'd still be here with me."

I look at you, and suddenly I believe in the magic of romance. The kind of magic where one person's smile will set a spark off in your heart. You make every worry disappear. I feel like when people look at us together, they can believe in that magic too. They can see the way we tease each other, the way we're not all over each other, and the way we're just hanging out and yet still see that we're crazy about each other. We're different, sure, but we're just as in love as everyone else.
*mine*

Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, and don't give a damn what anyone thinks. There are no teams here, no buddies. You're on your own. Be on your own. 

My world crumbles when you're not here.
*my boy*

I've always had a really strong feeling that out there somewhere is someone who would not just put up with my personality, but would actively like it. He would encourage me. He'd be somebody who doesn't enjoy the neutral beige of my mother's decorating. He'd be somebody who likes neon plaid. Polka dots. Pink with red. I knew it would be a long wait, but that's okay. I'm a patient girl.

You've given me a reason to live. Like, I can't even explain it. I always thought you fell in love with somebody once and went from there, but every time we talk, every time I see you, every time I fucking think about you, I fall in love with you all over again. I love you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
*my boy*

It's always been you over him, ever since I talked to you for the first time. I knew you were different.

"He wasn't a fling. He wasn't revenge. I fell in love with him. That doesn't go away because I decided to stay with you."
*mine*

Cause I was there when you said forever and always...

The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough.

We go to sleep, I think everything's fine. We wake up, and you're just a little bit crazy.

My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.

What if I fall and hurt myself? Would you know how to fix me? What if I went and lost myself? Would you know where to find me? If I forget who I am would you please remind me? Cause without you things go hazy.

I wanted to be the person he told things to. I wanted him to think I was pretty. I wanted him to be reminded of me by stuff I liked - the color green and pink lemonade and friendship bracelets - and I wanted him to miss me when we were apart. I wanted him to feel, when we were lying in bed together, like he couldn't imagine anywhere better.

I love it when he grabs me by the waist.

You mean the world to me and I hope I make that obvious every day.

Why can't I be that happily ever after person? Why can't I believe in that?

I'm scared too. So let's just leap, okay?

No matter how angry I am, I always say, "It's okay." No matter how disappointed I am, I always say, "I'm fine." Why? Because I love you.

It all comes down to love

Dear guy that keeps asking me if I wanna bang,
Yeah I wanna bang... your head against the wall.
Sincerely, I have standards.

What I meant to say was, sometimes I stare up at the sky and ask God to stop wasting my time and just kill me. But I figured you didn't want to hear that.

I don't flirt anymore. I notice other guys, sure, but I don't flirt with them. I don't feel the need or the desire to anymore. I have all the flirting I need with you. I love you, and that means I don't want to flirt with anyone else. So it hurts when I know you flirt with other girls. You love me, I know that. You wouldn't be here if you didn't. But I just don't understand your desire to flirt anymore.
*mine*

You have shoved your feelings aside for so long. I'm asking you to claim them.

Love has its limits. If love were enough, everything would be different.

If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses. Sink me in the river at dawn and send me away with the words of a love song.

A penny for my thoughts, no, I'll sell them for a dollar. They're worth so much more after I'm a goner. And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been saying. Funny, when you're dead how people start listening.

I've never been anything but tough. All my edges have always been rough.

Why can't I be that happily ever after person? Why can't I believe in that?

So you know what I mean when I say that I don't think anyone who falls in love has a choice? You're just pulled to that person like a true north, whether it's good for you or bound to break your heart.

I don't want to settle for 'good, not great'

This is what I was trying to say the other night...

Remind Me - Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood

We didn't care if people stared
We'd make out in a crowd somewhere
Somebody'd tell us to get a room
It's hard to believe that was me and you

Now we keep saying that we're okay
But I don't want to settle for 'good, not great'
I miss the way that it felt back then
I wanna feel that way again

Been so long that you'd forget
The way I used to kiss your neck
Remind me, remind me
So on fire, so in love
Way back when we couldn't get enough
Remind me, remind me

Remember the airport, dropping me off
We were kissing goodbye and we couldn't stop
I felt bad cause you missed your flight
But that meant we had one more night

Do you remember how it used to be?
We'd turn out the lights and we didn't just sleep
Remind me, baby remind me
Oh, so on fire, so in love
That look in your eyes that I miss so much
Remind me, baby remind me

I wanna feel that way
Yeah, I wanna hold you close
Oh, if you still love me
Don't just assume I know

Do you remember the way it felt?
You mean back when we couldn't control ourselves?
Remind me, yeah, remind me
All those things that you used to do
That made me fall in love with you
Remind me, oh baby, remind me

Yeah, you'd wake up in my old t-shirt
All those mornings I was late for work
Remind me, oh baby, remind me

Wouldn't have guessed

So the other day, I'm on my way to pick up my brother and I can't find a radio station that wasn't playing commercials almost constantly. I knew I had a country station on my presets, and figured that at least it wasn't commercials. As I tried to block out the banjos and other various "country" instruments, I realized that the lyrics to most country songs are really, really romantic. They're pretty cheesy at times, but romance is sometimes cheesy, right? Me not being a huge romantic myself (or as some people would tell you, I wouldn't know romance if it bit me on the ass) I was surprised that I even thought these things. So I listened to some more country today and sure enough, I was overwhelmed by how adorable and sweet some of these songs are. So here are the lyrics to one of the sweetest songs I've heard in a while.

Come Back Song - Darius Rucker

I woke up again this morning
And wouldn't you know it, pouring rain
I went and burned a pot of coffee
And like us, I poured it down the drain

Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my, "my bad, come back" song

I know I said I wouldn't miss you
But now I'm saying I'm a fool
You're on the feel-good side of leaving
And I'm the backside of a mule

Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my, "so sad, come back" song

And now I'm laying down without you
In this king size empty bed
And I wish I had my arms around you
But I'll just dream of you instead

Cause I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my, "get packed, come back"

Hey, I didn't know I needed you so
And letting you go
And letting you go was wrong
And baby, I know you got your radio on
So this is my, "my bad, come back" song

I know I said I wouldn't miss you
I said I wouldn't miss you girl
Come on now
This is my, "my bad, come back" song



So yeah. I think that sending lyrics or a song to someone is just as romantic as bringing them flowers. Just saying. :D

If you miss me, prove it

You know, there are some days when I really feel like this could work. Like you and I are finally going to get it right. Then there are days like today, when you make me want to tear my fucking hair out.

I wish it could be simple. Like a retro pop song, "I want you to want me," boom. End of story. We all live happily ever after. But it's never really like that, is it?

Right now, it's about to storm. It's been crazy humid for a couple days, and it's going to be intense. Prolly. And the only thing I can think is that I want to be out there when the downpour begins. I want you to be there with me. I want to ask you if you'd like to dance in the rain with me. I'd like to show you what letting go really is. What it feels like. I want to run out while it's pouring down rain and spin around in it. I want to get soaking wet and look back to see you smiling at me, calling me crazy and telling me that you hope I brought a change of underwear. But we won't be spinning in the rain tonight. Why? Because you're busy. You're tired. We have problems, real, big problems, and you're running.
*mine*

I looked hot today. You missed it.

Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.

I make mistakes. Big ones. But I rarely make them twice.

When I decided to be with you, I made a choice. And I keep making that choice every day.

You've hit your low, you've lost control

My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.

When I asked you to give me a reason to stay, you chickened out. And I get it. I get that. I do. It was sudden and I can be kind of intense and it was scary. But I thought...I thought that maybe after the chickening out part that...that you would come for me. But you didn't. You didn't come for me.

He looked at his best friend and said, "I'm scared." His friend looked up at the sky and said, "It's good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose." The man turned to see his wife behind him, knowing that she was struggling to keep their marriage alive. He asked her, "Are you scared?" She looked him in the eye and replied, "All the time."

You may have beautiful thoughts, but you hide them.

I think it's okay to pretend sometimes.

When you truly care for someone their mistakes never change our feelings because it's the mind that gets angry, but the heart still cares.

Love is only as complicated as we make it.

When I distance myself from you it's not because I don't care. It's because I care too much.

I don't want to be just another memory.

You're halfway in, but don't take too long cause I'm halfway gone.

Oh oh oh it's magic

Don't depend on me to ever follow through on anything. But I'd go through hell for you. I haven't been this scared in a long time.

She was never happier than when she was lying in his arms,  her fingers linked with his.

Maybe I fell for your smile or the way you always say what you mean without ever actually saying what you mean. I don't know why or how, but I fell. So here it is, my confession to you... I'm insanely and unnaturally in love with you.

Good relationships don't just happen. They take time, patience, and two people who truly want to be together.
*We did it, babe :)

To love someone is a very special thing, but for that someone to love you back is more of a miracle. If you happen to stumble upon such a miracle, make sure you realize it. Never take it for granted, never throw it away, never let it sit, and most of all never let it die.

Find a guy who pretends he's not freezing after giving up his jacket, who knows to call you back when you hang up on him, who makes you a playlist and manages to get every single one of your favorite songs right. Wait for the boy who accepts your past and understands your fears, who lets you cry and who lets you see him cry, who says you're his world and makes sure you know it. The one who turns to his friends and says, "That's her."

If I asked you to just drop everything and run away with me, would you? If I showed up at your house, a bag packed, excitement all over my face, would you pack a bag too? If I chose to travel around the world and never settle down, would you come with me or would you stay?

I'm not gonna get down on one knee. I'm not gonna ask a question. I love you, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you.

  

People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other's personalities. Who wouldn't? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that's not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner's faults and honestly say, 'I can work around that. I can make something out of it?' Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it's always going to be pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.

Long live the walls that we crashed through; I had the time of my life with you. 

Just a feeling that I have...

I watched you cry
Bathed in sunlight by the bathroom door
You said you wished you did not love me anymore
You left your flowers in the backseat of my car
The things we said and did have left permanent scars

Obsessed, depressed at the same time
I can't even walk in a straight line
I've been lying in the dark, no sunshine
No sunshine, no sunshine

She cries, "This is more than goodbye
When I look into your eyes you're not even there"
It's just a feeling, just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling, just a feeling that I have
I can't believe that it's over

You've hit your low, you've lost control
You want me back
You may not believe me but I gave you all I have
Oh, just confess that you're still mine
I roll around in a bed full of tears
And I'm still lying in the dark, no sunshine
No sunshine, no sunshine

She cries, "This is more than goodbye
When I look into your eyes you're not even there"
It's just a feeling, just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling, just a feeling that I have
No, I can't believe that it's over

So much to say
It's not the way she does her hair
It's the way she seems to stare right through my eyes
And in my darkest day when she refused to run away
From the love she tried so hard to save

It's just a feeling, just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling, just a feeling that I have

It's just a feeling, just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling, just a feeling that I have

I can't believe that it's over

I can't believe that it's over

I can't believe that it's over, yeah

I'll run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.

It's a long one :)

Sometimes, when you love someone that much, not even the truth can change that.

I've learned that when it hurts too much inside your heart, it always has a way of showing; no matter how many masks you wear.

Sometimes walking away says, "I don't care." Sometimes it says, "I'm not willing to fight for us," and "I'm not willing to make an effort to keep you  around." But sometimes, walking away says, "I'm sorry, I just can't fight any harder for us." It says, "I've given everything I have and I can't stay because I'm empty now."

It's the possibility that keeps us going, not the guarantee.

He was beautiful in the kind of way that was untouchable, yet somehow I was allowed to kiss him. He was the kind of guy that every girl wanted, and I was the one lucky enough to fall asleep with him nightly. He was perfect in every single way, and I was the one who got to be called perfect by him. I was lucky enough to fall in love with the best guy, and was lucky enough to have him fall in love with me too.
*this one is especially for you*

When you go through something like that, you do this thing where you stop making plans. Because you had plans but then something happened - they left, they changed - and your plans disappeared so you just try to get from sunup to sundown. That's as far into the future as you can handle.

You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you, I thought I had found the person that I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with. I was done! All the boys and the flirting and the chasing and the teasing and the stupid games and obvious issues, who cared?! I was done. I told you I loved you, and you left me. You chose to run away. You chose to be alone and with her. I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get to call me a whore.

It's easy to suggest a quick solution when you don't know much about the problem or you don't understand the underlying cause or just how deep the wound is. The first step toward a real cure is to know exactly what the disease is to begin with. But that's not what people want to hear... We're supposed to forget the past that led us here, ignore the future complications that might arise and go for the quick fix.

It's the not knowing that does it. Not knowing if he's okay. Not knowing if he's coming back. I mean, it's not knowing if I'm single that makes me want to throw up all day long.

If there's a crisis, you don't freeze, you move forward. You get the rest of us to move forward. Because you've seen worse. You've survived worse, and you know we'll survive too. You say you're all dark and twisty. It's not a flaw, it's a strength. It makes you who you are.

Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is leftover when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.

You weren't part of the plan I had in mind. But I don't see how that was ever possible because without you, I wouldn't be getting closer and closer to becoming who I want to be. With you, I'm going to achieve every dream I've ever had. So being without you is never a possibility for the way my life is going to turn out.
