“The best things in life are the things we see with our eyes wide open. So we get the full picture and everything is seen so perfectly clear. We kiss with our eyes open because we want to remember the moment the best way we know how. We want to know everything about that person, so in case we miss them later on, we’ll still remember the little details. We will cry with our eyes open too because the tears are drowning our face. We feel useless sometimes, because we loved too much. And lastly, our dreams make up who we are so we need to be staring right into the light, so that we aren’t blinded. We need to prove to the world that we’re brave enough to take what we have been given.”

“You know the beautiful thing about love? It’s so powerful. Nothing else can make people do the things that love can make them do. It’s the only emotion that can make people fight, and give their all to something or someone. It’s the only thing that can make people hold on, when they otherwise would have given up. Love is strong, it’s powerful, and it’s rare. So when people find it, they marvel at the power of it. And they keep holding on because it’s the truest form of ecstasy. The world cannot survive without love. It’s the only thing that can get people to hold on anymore.”

I've come to realise that we never stop loving the people who leave. We just stop needing them like we used to.

false, we still need them.
“To tell you the truth I don’t have much to offer. But I’ll still give you everything I’ve got, even if it’s barely a thing at all. I’ll give you late nights, long hugs. Someone to talk to, someone to care for, someone who will always be there. A hand to hold, somebody to lean on. And if that’s not enough, just know you have all of me. I hope that’s enough.”

“Love is always a good thing no matter how much it hurts. Even after it’s over, even through the pain, anyone who has ever really loved will tell you that they never regretted a second of it, no matter how much it hurt in the end. And if you tell me differently, I will tell you that you were not truly in love.”

Ocean Wide - The Afters
Look outside
It’s already light and the stars ran away with the night
Things we’re said, words that we’ll try forget,
it’s so hard to admit I know we’ve made mistakes
I see through all the tears but that’s what got us here
[Chorus:]
If love is an ocean wide
We’ll swim in the tears we cry
They’ll see us through to the other side
We’re gonna make it
When love is a raging sea
You can hold on to me
We’ll find a way tonight
Love is an ocean wide
I’ll stay right here
It’s where I’ll always belong
Tied with your arms
Days like this, I wish the sun wouldn’t set
I don’t want to forget
What made us feel this way
You see through all my fears
And that’s what got us here
[Chorus]
Love is an ocean wide enough to forget
Even when we think we can’t
“And when I tell you I love you I mean that you can make my heart ache in places deep inside of myself, and at the same time make it sing more beautifully than can be described. I mean that you can give me life or take it away from me. You are my complete happiness.”

“To continue to love somebody when there’s no promise of that love ever thriving, that is romance.”

“If you’re angry at a loved one, hug that person. And mean it. You may not want to hug - which is all the more reason to do so. It’s hard to stay angry when someone shows they love you, and that’s precisely what happens when we hug each other.”

“With my fingertips, I trace on your bare skin all of the things I’d like to say but cannot speak. You mean everything. There not quite words enough, to tell you all the things that you’ve become for me.”
