This time it's over. I'm keeping my heart. I'm gonna be strong and not fall apart. It'll get better; I'll no longer cry. In a couple of weeks I won't want to die. I won't want to go back; I'll be able to sleep. It won't hurt so bad, and it's won't feel so deep.

I'm convincing myself: Yes, I'll find someone new. I won't be alone, and I won't be with you. You're waiting for me to crawl back to your side. But, no, not this time; I'm keeping my pride. So Good-Bye forever, I'll be on my way. It's gonna take time, but I'll be okay.

Your heart decides who it likes and who it doesn't. You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it all on its own when you least expect it or even when you don't want it to. It loves who it wants to and there is nothing you can do about it.

If your going to make me cry at least be there to wipe away the tears.

I'm sorry, I just can't help myself, I fell in love with you.

You may shoot me with your words.

You may cut me with your eyes.

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

but still, like air, I'll rise.

Thanks for making me the center of your world.

It's what makes the ride worth while.

something to offer. It usually means you have something they

The only real mistake is one from which we learn nothing.

Everyday That Goez By It Seemz Like I Discover Somethíng New about You To Love It'z Incredíble To Me How One Per§on Can Make Such A *BIG* Dífference In My Lífe You Touch Me In A Way No One Else Ever Haz And Gíve Me So Many Reasonz To Love You

Some things are worth it. The rest is just worth praying for. (Me)

Love is not something you run into everyday, so when love runs into you, don't let it run away!!!

Nobody understands how much I miss you. I miss how we used to talk-and I miss all the things we used to do. I try not to admit it to myself that I still feel this way. Nobody knows that I still wake up thinking of you everyday, but I do. I still think of you & I do miss you a lot. I would give everything I have to be everything we're not

Do I trust someone and get fooled by phoniness?*Or do I trust no one and live in loneliness?

I say that I hate you because thats what I really want to believe. But deep down inside, I know that no matter how bad you hurt me, Ill always forgive you. And Im always going to be here waiting for you-for you to realize that what we had is real and that you do need me as much as I need you. I know this may take time, but dont worry, Ill be patient

Let me ruin your life*Let me break your heart*Then Ill ask you why we cant be friends*Let me rip your world into little pieces*Let me destroy who you thought you were*And then Ill ask if we can be friends

The letter I'll never send*Would calmly ask you why*You broke my heart in 2*And told my love good-bye*If I sent this letter*It would sweetly state*You tangled up my destiny*And interrupted fate!*The letter I will not write*Would casually inquire*How can you live without me*I was your one desire*If you received this letter*It would politely say*You need me in your life now*You can't go on this way*The letter I'll never send*Would then be briskly signed*"Your one and only love*the one you left behind"

Im gonna be strong*Im getting over you*Therell be other boys*Ill find someone new*I wont sit here with you on my mind*Im not gonna stand here and waste my time*You think I still want you*But you guessed wrong*Guess what, baby?*IVE MOVED ON

At times I may upset you, sometimes Ill make you mad*Sometimes my words will wound you, at times Ill made you sad*But youll never find another girl, that loves you more than me*I love you with my heart and soul, for all eternity

The truth is, you could slit my throat, and my last words would still be an apology for bleeding on your shirt

She smiles through a thousand tears and harbors adolescent fears*She dreams of all that she can never be*She wades in insecurities and hides herself inside of me

You were a mistake worth making

Friends can help you through the bad times*Bad times can help you find your friends

Im not saying that Im gone for goodI just have to find out what life is like without you

When the pain of holding on is greater than the pain of letting gothen its time to let go

What if finding the love of your life meant changing the life that you love?

I thought that I could forget you-but I was wrong*I thought I was getting over you-but its been a lie for so long*I thought Id be able to hate you-but its something I cant do*No matter what I say or do-Im still in love with you

The same ole shit that brings me down*Another day in this gossip town*Now I wait all confused*Feelin like Ive been used*Tryin to find a better way*To make it through this fuckin day

This is all I ever hearàBe a good girl-Just behave-Whats wrong with you?-Settle down-Keep ya 2 feet on the ground-Sit up straight-Stand up tall-Never falter-Never fall-Stay in school-Make the grade-Never fail-Never fade-Be a hero-Be a star-Be anything but what you are

What you dont know cant hurt you Its what you suspect that fucks everything up!

Looking back on the past, I realize that I didnt do all the things I said I would, but I did all the things I said I wouldn’t

What dont kill you only makes you stronger*So when you think youre hurtin me, youre only helping me last longer!

I really shouldn't be so surprised that that we broke up. I mean, 90 percent of high school romances do eventually end. It's just that, for some reason, I thought we were different from everyone else. That what we had was special. That we could beat the odds and live happily ever after. But then again, I guess that's what everyone thinks

To hate you have to hurt To hurt you have to care

Its funny how someone you know becomes someone you knew

I know that God wouldnt give me anything that I couldnt handleI just wish he wouldnt trust me so much!

In a world of pollution, profanity, adolescence, zits, brussel sprouts, racism, ozone depletion, sexism, stupid guys, and PMS, why the hell do people still tell me to have a nice day?

Ive been trying not to love you*Ive been putting up a fight*Ive been barely holding on, and letting go with all my might*Theres a part of me thats empty*That I know only love can fill*Im afraid Ill never find itAnd scared to death I will

You dont cry over people you dont love

They say youll never forget your first love-Thats because you never quit loving them

Promises mean everything*But after theyve been broken, sorry means nothing

I wonder if the fact that I still love you is a blessing or a curse*I wonder if the way you look at me makes me feel better or feel worse*I wonder if wanting you the way I do will make me succeed or love in vain*But do you know I feel?*And if you do, do you feel the same?*Do you think of me at night before you go to sleep?*Do you wish you still had me as yours to keep?*Do you understand the way you hurt me and does it hurt you too?*And if it does, do you realize that Im still in love with you?

I wont pretend that I wanna stop living*I wont pretend that Im good at forgiving*I still cant hate you, although Ive tried*I still love you*And love is stronger than pride

Life is full of different things*Its full of hope and sorrow*The things you choose to do today*Could affect your life tomorrow*Life is full of decisions*So be careful what you choose*Cause life is yours to cherish*But its also yours to lose

I wish that I could believe in what I feel*Ive been fooled so many times before*I dont even know what is real

Ive seen many boys, but baby youre it*You got me drawin hearts around your name n shit*The way you talk*The way you smell*Neva thought Id be trippin over you*But damn I fell!

Its not what I feel for you*Its what I dont feel for anyone but you*Someone asked me what I saw in you*And my only answer was*Everything

You only know what you see*No one knows what its like to be me

Im done cryin every night*Im done with this hurtin that isnt right*Im done playin games with you*Im done losing friendships that may never have been true*Although Im done having my mind fucked with*Im not done being your friend*Weve been through too much for it all just to end*Take my hand if you wont take my heart*I may never get over you, but this is a start

I just wanna say I love you & thank you*For everything that youve done*Youve been by my side through thick and thin*And I know that youre the one

If you cant get someone out of your mind, maybe theyre supposed to be there

I dont want things to completely end*You broke my trust when you messed around with my friend*For now we need to take a break*Just know that you put our relationship at stake

All that I ask is that you forever remember me as the one who loved you most

I looked up at him & he looked down at me and it was like for that split second, we forgave each other for everything

When you talk to me, don't be surprised if I don't look in your eyes. It isn't because I don't want to look in them, it is because I don't want you to look into mine-because then you would see how much pain I really am in. You would know that I still love you, and that there isn't anyone else I want to be with. You will know how extremely weak I am when it comes to my feelings, and that I'm not all that strong. That's why I won't look at you when you talk to me

What do I do? I mean, Im sitting here, and everythings hitting me all at once. The tears fall slowly down my cheek and my whimpers can barely be heard. Im pushing what I love the most, you, away, and I know its what I need, but the pain you must be feeling is hurting me far more than words could even say

All our lives we search for someone to love, someone to make us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, someone perfect is searching for us too

A little jealousy in a relationship is healthy; it's nice to know that someone is afraid to lose you.

No regrets-Just lessons learned

Youre just another boy*With just another smile*Are you just another mind game?*Tell meAre you even worthwhile?

Why is it so easy to talk trash about the ones you love when youre trying to impress the ones you wish loved you?

Im a girl of many smiles, but this time Im not okay inside*I really feel like dyin*My eyes get so swollen cuz of all the cryin*Im sorryBut Im really tryin

You said you'd never hurt me & that you'd never make me cry*Boy, I must admit*You told a perfect lie

"I'm Sorry" doesn't change anything, although I need you to say it.

People are always telling you that change is a good thing, but what they're really saying is that something that you didn't want to happen just happened

Nothing has turned out as we expected. It never does. Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we get and are thankful that it's no worse than what it is

There is fate--but it only takes you so far because once you're there--it's up to you to make it happen

I'll do what I wanna do*I'll see who I wanna see*Be who I wanna be*Ain't nobody stoppin me

I'm sorry for anything I did*I've never been untrue*Cuz in this world of craziness*The only one I can trust is you

All you hoes love to hate on me and show me who my true friends be*When shit goes down and sides be taken, you'll see who's real and who is fakin*Haters hate on my game-Always be strong*To all you bitches, keep tellin your lies-It just tells me how much I'm on your mind*All you do is stare in my direction, but can you help it? I'm pure perfection*Gurls love to hate and call me a hoe, when the real me, they don't even know!*They act like I'ma cry over this shit, damn, you really don't know this bitch!*I know I have you mesmerized and you look at me with hate in your eyes*Do you just hate what you can't be? Is that why you love to hate on me?*Hate is for the haterz, love is for the true, you lil hoez are just bug-a-booz*Quit trying to hold me down, you're not going to make me frown*See all your tricks don't get me pissed*Cause you fuckers are easily dismissed

Just because lips haven't met, doesn't mean hearts haven't joined

Everytime you close your eyes at night*You know somethin in your heart just ain't right*And things aren't the way you wish they'd be*Even though you're with her, I know you're thinkin about me

I hate this feeling*It's one I know well*It's called a heartbreak*And it hurts like hell

I can forget the pain you put me through*But I just can't forget the special times I shared with you

Forget the past...But remember what it taught you

I never wanna speak to you again*You used to be my man, my trust, my best friend*You told me you loved me, but only to my face*Although you hurt me, no guy can ever fill your space

Those cold-hearted rumors that were never true, only brought my love closer to you

Just because 2 people are apart, doesn't mean they don't love each other with all their heart

I used to smile when I told people you were mine*Now I can't even smile and say your name at the same time

Sometimes you forgive someone, simply because you want them in your life

Sometimes the feelings you start to have again are the feelings you never stopped having

The hardest thing is walking away from something you know is right

The only thing worse than a broken heart, is knowing that you'd give him a second chance, and he'd do it again

True love is when you miss him before he's gone*When you could listen to him talk all night long*When the sound of his voice gives you butterflies*When you can see him smile when you close your eyes

Have you ever been in a situation where the best thing you could do is the hardest thing you've ever done?

Nothings perfect-->But the way I see it, if we weren't meant to be, then all the fights we had wouldn't have been worth all the tears

I know if there was anything that I could rewind*It would be the day I realized that love is blind*That day that you walked out'a my life for good*And I never thought you ever would*I want to be the lead in your life again*But, baby, I messed up*And I SO regret cheatin

Sittin in my room cryin to myself*As I glance at your picture on my shelf*You were the love of my life for so long*Why do you want to do me so wrong?*I guess I never gave quite enough*Damn, do I hate bein in love

Somehow the conversation mentioned you're name*And someone asked if I knew you*Lookin away, I thought of all the times that we had together*Sharing laughter, tears, jokes, and much more*And then without explanation you were gone*I looked to where they were waitin for an answer, and I said softly*"Once...I thought I did"

It's amazing after all we've been through*The good times and the bad*How we can walk past each other and pretend it never happened*Give each other an awkward smile...and move on

Everyone says trust your heart*But my heart has led me to pain so many times before*I don't know what to trust anymore

You make me feel happier than any other guy could*And you make me feel things I never thought I would*You make me forget my problems and my pain*You're like my sunlight through all the rain*You hold me in your arms like no other guy can*No other guy will be right, you must understand*So be with me baby*Even just for tonight*So I can feel Heaven*When you're holdin me tight

I thought this was supposed to feel good*And if you were really mine I guess it would*I didn't fall in love cause it was the right thing to do*I just blindly went ahead and fell for you

How do you think that it makes me feel when you tell me that it wasn't for real?*When your sweet lips say it's not meant to be*Do you take pleasure in killing me?

I don't think you understand*How hard it is to talk to you just as a friend*I wanna tell you I love you*-But I never can-

I smile each time I hear your voice...I can't help it...It's not by choice

I thought missing you was only for a day*I thought needing you would go away*Why do I see you in everything I do?*Why does every song remind me of you*Maybe because I'm still in love with you

There's something about the look in your eyes*Something I noticed when the light was just right*It reminded me of times that I was alive*It reminded me that you're so worth the fight

It's so much easier to say that you don't love someone, than to try to explain to everyone all the reasons why you still do

The most beautiful smile is the one that struggles through the tears

You know you miss someone very much when everytime you think of them your heart breaks into pieces*But just a quick hello from them puts the pieces back together

It hurts to realize that the people you thought you'd love for life*Don't love you as much as you thought*And they can do without you*As if they never knew you at all

You know that it's over but you still can't let go*The way that you loved him, he'll never know*You try to get over the feelings that you had*And try not to think of how he hurt you so bad*But no matter what you do, or how hard you try*Those emotions take you over and make you break down and cry*"How could he do this?" You ask yourself each night*You thought he was the one person who could make everything alright*Even after nights of tear after tear*None of your problems seemed to disappear*You always though his love would forever last*But now it has become a thing of the past*Thoughts of killing run through your head*Instead of goin through this, you'd rather be dead*After all the "I love you's" and call after call*You realize you never meant anything to him at all*You try to solve your problems by using a knife*You think you don't have a good enough life*Even if he sees the scars on you hand*One thing's for sure...He'll NEVER understand

When you hate a person, you hate something that is a part of yourself. What isn't in us, doesn't disturb us

I'll never find another person to take the place of you*No one will ever touch my life exactly like you do*No one who's quite so thoughtful*No one I cherish so*No one will mean so much to me*I just want you to know

One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't speak

I've heard the speech a million times before "You can do better, you deserve so much more"*I get myself sick over it cause I know it's true*But I don't want better*I just want you

A hurting person needs a helping hand, not an accusing finger.

After a while you learn the difference between holding a hand and falling in love*You begin to learn that kisses don't always mean something*Promises can be broken just as quickly as they were made*And sometimes, goodbyes really are forever

Freedom

Appreciate it. Cherish it. Protect it.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away

Whoever said that sunshine is happiness has never gone dancing in the rain.

Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love, tonight your true love will realize how much they love you. Between 1 and 4 in the morning, tomorrow the shock of your life will occur if you break the chain, and you will have bad luck for 10 years, if you don't pass this on To love without condition, talk without intention, to give without reason, and care without expectation ...is the heart of a true friend

The light is not just at the END of the tunnel...it's IN the tunnel.

If you suffer at the hands of an evil man: Forgive him lest there be two evil men.

To whom which is given...much is required

We don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

No matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while, and you must forgive them for that.

True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. The same goes for true love.

You can do something in an instant that can give you a heartache for life.

It's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

You should always leave loved ones with loving words; It may be the last time you ever see them.

You can keep going long after you can't.

We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

Either you control your attitude or it controls you.

Reguardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

Heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, reguardless of the consequences.

Money is a lousy way of keeping score.

My best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help pick you back up.

Sometimes when I'm angry, I have the right to be angry. But, that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

No matter how hard your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.

Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

Just because two people argue doesn't mean they don't love each other, and just because they don't argue doesn't mean they do.

You shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

Your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

Even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out, you can find the strength to help.

Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

The people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

"This is for the girls who have been used and abused, this is for the stupidity of the nights we've believed that something was better than nothing, though his something was nothing we'd have ever wanted.This is for the girls who have been satisified with too little and who have learned never to expect anything more: for the girls who don't think that they deserve more, because they've been conditioned for so long to accept the scraps thrown to them by guys. This is for the girls who don't give it up on the first date, who don't want to play mind games, who provide a comforting hug and a supportive audience for a story they've heard a thousand times.This is for the girls who have been there from the beginning and have heard the trite words of advice, from,there are plenty of fish in the sea, to, time heals all wounds. This is for the girls."

"Sometimes you've got to let everything go—purge yourself . . . If you are unhappy with anything . . . whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out."

And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Anais Nin

Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
