I fell in love with the world in you.
(via wnq-music)
Sometimes I think about all the missed conversations. The hushed whispers between friends, booming laughter that echoed down a forlorn and now-forgotten corridor. I think of every thing I could have heard, but I did not. Beautiful music that once floated through the dark streets of the city, dissolved into the air, never to be heard again. Verses of poems, exchanged, but never written down; quick sketches on paper easily dismissed; ideas that vanished as fleetingly as shooting stars. I miss all that I have never experienced, and my heart aches for it all.
Do not tell everyone your story. You will only end up feeling more rejected. People cannot give you what you long for in your heart. The more you expect from people’s response to your experience of abandonment, the more you will feel exposed to ridicule.
