The first love doesn’t die, but the real love comes to bury it alive. الحب الأول لا يموت، بل يأتي الحب الحقيقي ليدفنه حيا

He isn’t my boyfriend…

But I love his hugs, his smile, his advice, his wildness and the times when we laugh together so I guess I fell in love with our friendship.

The truth is that the more intimately you know someone, the more clearly you'll see their flaws. That's just the way it is. This is why marriages fail, why children are abandoned, why friendships don't last. You might think you love someone until you see the way they act when they're out of money or under pressure or hungry, for goodness' sake. Love is something different. Love is choosing to serve someone and be with someone in spite of their filthy heart. Love is patient and kind, love is deliberate. Love is hard. Love is pain and sacrifice, it's seeing the darkness in another person and defying the impulse to jump ship.

He taught me how to love, but he didn't teach me how to stop.

I thought I had control, I thought I had managed to shackle my emotions. I was standing on the cliff edge of love, flirting with the boundaries, peeking down sometimes - but always firmly rooted, in control. I don't know how it happened, or when it happened. But now I'm free falling and all I see at the bottom is heart break.

To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.
