“We don't fall in love with people because they're good people. We fall in love with people whose darkness we recognise. You can fall in love with a person for all of the right reasons, but that kind of love can still fall apart.

It is the candle in the night.” - C. JoyBell C.

I could never say we were just friends. Because in the end, 'just' means 'only'. And you were never only anything – you were everything." - Unknown?

"How do you know when you love someone? When you wake up, and they're your first thought, and you're looking at your phone to see if they've texted or called you while you were asleep. And when you go to bed, you fall asleep thinking about them. When you miss them, even though it hasn't been more than a day or so since you've last seen them. But mostly, when you put their needs before your own. When their happiness is more important than your pain. When you really love someone you're willing to give it your all, and you'll know when you are."

Liebe ist das einzige auf der Welt, das nicht schmerzt."
