Never knew how to really love, 

You can't be what I need you to, 

& I don't know why I fuck with you.”

care about them, their behavior can distress you,

Love Is Giving Up Control

“Love is giving up control. 

It’s surrendering the desire to control the other person.

 The two—love and controlling power over the other person—are mutually exclusive. 

If we are serious about loving someone, 

we have to surrender all the desires within us to manipulate the relationship.”

the perfection of a moment,

“We've lost a lot of years, 

but you can't lose love.

 Not real love. 

It stays locked inside you, 

ready for whenever you are strong enough 

to find it again.”

~ Martina Boone, Compulsion

I Can See

“I can see that the sadness has returned. 

And it's not a beautiful sadness - beautiful sadness is a myth.

 Sadness turns our features to clay, not porcelain.”
