when i am with you

to be silly

by loving

and even after

cling

let go. why do you cling to pain? there is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. it is not yours to judge. why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?
-leo buscaglia



i need to let go of some pain. words that i still can't believe were spoken. again and again. some people refuse to lift the disapproval from your choices. refuse to believe that maybe i do know just how to find the happiness they insist i will never get. perhaps they forget what it means to unconditionally love. 
it hurts my heart. and my soul. i want to fight back. so badly. but also i want to just let it all go. i can do nothing to change the minds of others. and i can't try any longer. so you believe what you will. 
all i want is to live my life. and you to live yours.

love is

words

words are the by far the worst way of communication. what can you say with words to really express how you feel? 

nothing. 

explain to me what love is.

see, you can't.

there are no words to adequately express what the feeling 

"love" is. you can try all you want, but you'll never be able to truly grasp the meaning. and so it goes with every word. you can't describe how a pear tastes with words. meg ryan tried describing it to nicolas cage once, and she failed miserably. words can explain a lot, yes, but can you really express how you're feeling when your whole world is collapsing around you? or when you can feel your life finally turning into all that you wanted?

so when i say i love you. or i miss you. those words. those "signs". are not what i mean. because my words. your words. while wonderful and sweet, mean nothing  

unless they are followed by feelings.

by actions that surpass

anything a word could ever mean
