Maybe the world
can look like this forever. Maybe we were made for each other. ~ Jacks
Mannequin
You call me a dreamer, well … sometimes dreams come true. I need to be loved too much, I need to be held too tight. I need to hear someone say at the end of the day, “I’ll make everything right.” When the rest of the world goes home, I need to feel someone’s touch. I’ve been along too long now, I need to be loved too much. ~ Ty Herndon, “Loved Too Much” This world is crazy. All I’m asking is for someone to be crazy with. My sole aim in life was to find a girlfriend who would make me feel so secure that I’d never have to worry about relationships again. But it was always my fault that it never worked out with the girls I dated. I always underestimated the depths of my insecurity. It had nothing to do with poor self-image – I actually considered myself quite a catch. The problem was, I never trusted the women I was involved with to tell the truth because the truth never changes but, as I knew so well, people did. I knew it wasn’t everything. Some women did have staying power, but it was so impossible to tell which ones they were. Women should come labeled – it would make life so much simpler. ~ My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle You meet someone and you just click. You have the same ideas about life – you don’t even have to finish your sentences because the person already knows what you mean. ~ Starting From Square Two by Caren Lissner Those little gestures were so important. Someone pouring you a drink before you’d got around to asking for one, running you a bath because you looked tired, or opening your umbrella before you even thought of doing it yourself. ~ Fourplay by Jane Moore But the bottom line of why most people stay together is because, despite the occasional rocky path, they love each other and enjoy each other’s company. ~ Fourplay by Jane Moore 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 – pistachios and hooded sweatshirts and the Dylan song “Girl From the North Country” – 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. ~ Prep by Curtis Sittenfield I simply accepted his presence and it was a moment, I thought later, when perhaps I knew what it felt like to be someone else … a person who experienced life without dissecting it. ~ Prep by Curtis Sittenfield The woman’s heart, asleep in the child, was vaguely thrilled by the dream of love. I love you. I’ve loved you for nine years, I’ve just been too arrogant and scared to realize it, and … well, now I’m just scared. So I realize this comes at a very inopportune time, but I really have this gigantic favor to ask of you. Choose me. Marry me. Let me make you happy. ~ My Best Friend’s Wedding Where is the love? I can’t see it, I can’t touch it, I can’t feel it. I can hear some words, but I can’t do anything with your easy words. ~ Closer You were right. I don’t know what is greater, life or death. But love is more so than all. ~ Tristan and Isolde And no relationship is perfect … ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater. But the love we have for each other is bigger than these differences and that’s the key. It’s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot. ~ Sarah Dessen I want your company, the pleasure of your company. I want your input on video rentals, I stand there for hours and can’t pick anything out. I want someone to say goodnight to … a last call of the day. ~ Bounce The unqualified truth is that, when I loved her with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible. Once and for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once and for all; I loved her because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection. ~ Great Expectations by Charles Dixons We are all searching for someone. That special person who will provide us what’s missing in our lives. Someone who can offer companionship or assistance or security. And sometimes if we search very hard, we can find someone who provides us with all three. Yes, we are all searching for someone. And if we can’t find them, we can only pray they find us. ~ Desperate Housewives What do we have if we don’t have each other? Love is the most dangerous craving of all if you ask me. It turns us into people we aren’t, it makes us feel like hell and makes us walk on water. It ruins us for anything else. ~ Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult If you ask why I’m not interested in someone, I might say their nose is too big or they don’t know how to dress or they’re too this or too far or too plain. But the truth it, I only notice those things because of the real reason – that I’m just not feeling anything, but people don’t want to hear that. They always want an explanation so I have to come up with something concrete even though feelings aren’t like that. If I did meet a guy and I felt happy with him for whatever reason, I wouldn’t give a rat’s ass what he wore or how tall he was or what he did for a living. But when I’m with someone and it just doesn’t feel right, that’s when I start noticing the bad haircut or Chicago accent or unibrow. And it’s true that tomorrow I may go home with someone who you think is totally wrong for me and the next day I might meet a perfectly nice guy who you think I should feel excited about, but I don’t. But if I do go home with someone, it means for a change, something feels right. For a change, I’m feeling hopeful. I just want to feel happy when I’m with someone. ~ Starting From Square Two by Caren Lissner My heart stopped. It just stopped beating and for the first time in my life, I had that feeling. You know, like the world is moving all around you, all beneath you, all inside you and you’re floating. Floating in midair. And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person’s eyes. ~ Flipped by Wendelin Van Daanen I think to myself that when you’re in love, sometimes you have to swallow your pride and sometimes you have to fight to keep your pride. It’s a balance. But when the relationship is right, you find that balance. ~ Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin I need to know that I am good enough for a girl like you. I need that self-confidence and the assurance that I have you there for me. In finding the right person, you need someone with all the right similarities, yet all the right differences. Someone to read your mind instinctively, yet cover all your weaknesses. All love that has not friendship for its base is like a mansion built upon the sand. ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox Young Sally: He will hear my call a mile away. He will whistle my favorite
song. He can ride a pony backwards. |
