Love and Other Words

The loneliest version of alone is the one you learn after being loved.

I used to be fine when I was alone. But now that I have you, I’m lonely when I’m alone.

All Your Perfects · Colleen Hoover

What you do when the chance is pulling away without you.

No! No! Oh God, don’t you dare drive away from this stop! It’s Christmas! I want to yell, even as the bus pulls out into the traffic and gathers pace, and outside he is breathless standing in the road, watching us leave. I see defeat turn out the light in his eyes, and because it’s Christmas and because I’ve just fallen hopelessly in love with a stranger at a bus stop, I blow him a forlorn kiss and lay my forehead against the glass, watching him until he’s out of sight.

One Day in December · Josie Silver

Κάποιες ιστορίες αγάπης χτίζονται κυρίως στον χρόνο που περνά χωριστά το ζευγάρι.

I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart. Our story has three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. And although this is the way all stories unfold, I still can’t believe that ours didn’t go on forever.

Dear John · Nicholas Sparks
