"It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment."

— Gabriel García Márquez from One Hundred Years of Solitude

"I want to tell you I miss you with no subtext. No guilt, no anger, no expectation that you'll fix it. I don't want you to feel bad or to tell me it will get better. This is where we are meant to be right now - me apart from you, my hands a little empty and my heart a little sad. I just miss you. I wanted you to know."

"The hardest thing about losing you is that it didn't just happen once. I lose you every single day that we don't speak. When wake up in the morning and reach for my phone and hope to see a message that isn't there, and when go to sleep at night after I realise that the only person want to moan to about how crap my day was, isn't there. And lose you in all of the moments in between, in all the hours of silence that go by where I do nothing but think of you, go to call you, and then I don't. I lose you when I watch certain films, listen to certain songs, and go to certain places that are all tainted with certain parts of you and how you make me feel. And I used to think I could only miss you when I was alone, but that's not true. I miss you when I'm around everyone else, too. Because they are not you. But you're always there...somewhere. I can't not think about you. It's only when I'm asleep that I get a break from it. From thinking and wanting and missing. But, then I wake up the following day, roll over, check my phone, see that you didn't call and I just know I'm going to feel it all over again."

"I can't look into your eyes, but they're all I think about. I memorized your face as if it's my mirror, or a prayer that needs to be said every night. I will forget my name before I forget you."

"I wanted to be born as a star but someone had a different idea. That's how I ended up as a street lamp. I die too soon and flicker too much. But yesterday I saw a moth trying to kiss me. It almost burned her. I have heard stars do not get this luxury."

"My eyes adored you

Though I never laid a hand on you

My eyes adored you

Like a million miles away from me

You couldn't see how I adored you

So close, so close and yet so far"

— Frankie Valli

"How can it be explained in a way that does it justice? You'll meet some people and click with them in such a short amount of time where with others, the bond never reaches the same intensity even after years of being by their side.

There is always something deeper beneath the surface. Connection is unpredictable. Love even more so. We don't always fall for the obvious choice. Logic is not a consideration when energies are entangled."

— Samira Vivette
