'Miss her when she's not there'


"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there."

Bob Marley

'Every day I put love on the line. There's nothing I am less good at. I am far better at competition than love; far better at responding to my instincts to get ahead than at figuring out how to love another. I'm schooled and trained in getting my own way. And yet, I decide every day to set aside what I do best, and attempt to do what I do very clumsily- open up myslef to the fustrations and failures of loving, daring to believe that failing in love is better than succeeding in pride.'
