Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?

You say you care, and I know you do...
But this is from my experience
And my conclusion only makes sense.

Most circumstances, I know my fate
But in this love thang, I don't get the game.
Why does it feel like those who give in,
They only wind up losing a friend.

I'm sure though I'm not sure
But if we never try, We'll never know
It's better to have loved then not to loved at all.
Not trying is worse than to stumble and fall
And if we do, I'd rather it be with you
Cause at least there will be sweet memories.

“Do you know how you love people more on certain days? It wasn’t the way that your hair looked when the sun was painting the curls, or the feeling of your hands locked around mine, willing them to move a certain way. It was because on that day, at least, you didn’t give up.”

“It’s not up to me anymore. If you want me in your life, you’ll find a way to put me there.”

But eventually, the pressure broke us apart.

Your grip on my hand wasn’t hard enough.

Or was it my fault for not holding on?

“Did it ever occur to you that you're so caught up in trying to make the right choice that you've never stopped to consider the possibility that there may not be a right choice, or a wrong choice, just a bunch of choices? All the really exciting things in life require more courage than we currently have, a deep breath, and a leap. The kind of fear you're talking about... sometimes that’s how you know it’s worth it."

“I don’t have a fear of commitment- I have a fear of abandonment. We all screw things up, I screw things up, even, almost especially with the people I love. I get needy, I get moody, I get distant, I want to be too close, I get confused, I don’t understand.. all of it. But I keep pushing because I hope in this thing, the universe, that tells me that there’s no way I’m the only person out there who wants something this bad- that if I want it.. someone else out there must too. So we keep looking for each other. Whether or not we “fit in”, whether or not whatever. I’ll accept you and keep you just as much as you accept and want to keep me, because I want you...”

“If he loves you now, what else matters? He’s not perfect. You aren’t either. The two of you will never be perfect but if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He is not going to quote poetry, he’s not going to be thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, don’t expect more then he can give. Try not to over-analyse. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad and miss him when he’s not there.”

“I barely know you. But the first time I saw you, there was something about you that was so familiar… familiar in the best way. Like we shared something. Like we had a secret. I just want to know you. I don’t know why. I just do.”

-Sullivan Groff, Weeds

“Late nights shared between two people; two souls. Time has stopped; Spoken words are exchanged. Nothing happens, unfortunately; let’s change that. Hold me close, your body against mine; pleasure is what they call it. Attraction is the name of the game we play; Gentle touches lead to soft kisses. Soft kisses leading to a lot more than what was planned. The rest of the night is spent in each other’s arms, holding and caressing. Playing with the soft locks of my hair; I look into your eyes that scream of wanting. You look back with a halfway smile while you grab my hand and hold it close to your heart. It actually beats; you’re human after all. Smile is all I’m capable of doing. It’s all I ever wanted do whenever I was around you. Slowly I start to close my eyes and drift off to sleep in hopes that you’ll be there in the morning when I wake up, with my hand still at your heart feeling it beat against my hand.”

“The easiest way to lose something is to want it too badly...”
