“The saddest end to a relationship is one where you have to break up with somebody when you’re still in love with them. It sounds bizarre but it happens, because the truth is, as powerfull and as thrilling as it may be, being in love doesn’t always mean you’re happy. You can continue to love someone even after they’ve hurt you, but you know deep inside that it won’t ever be the same again.”
“You lost her. And now she lights up the night-time sky for her new lover cause he recognized her as the moon. And you envy him. She could’ve been your moon, but you were too busy chasing the dimly lit stars.”— Zienab Hamdan - Admit it, you messed up. (via moonlyaffairs) (via moonlyaffairs)

there’s so much intimacy in understanding. Someone who doesn’t understand you is not going to know how to love you because they don’t know who you are.

“If you can love the wrong one so much, just imagine how much you can love the right one.”— Brandon Stanton, Humans of New York (via books-n-quotes)

I think that one of the biggest reasons why relationships do not work out in the long run is because at one point, one side (or both) stops trying. Before one claims another person as their significant other, they would do anything to make that person happy. They would chase, they would flirt, they would be charming. They would send daily morning and goodnight texts everytime you wake up or go to sleep. They would write corny messages and pick up lines just to make sure that there is a smile on your face. But once they claim you as theirs, all those things eventually stop. The 5 page texts slowly turn into 1. The constant calls turn into not calling at all. All the lovely endearments turn into daily arguments. In order for a relationship to work, don’t ever stop chasing. Just because the person you want is now considered ‘yours’, it does not mean they deserve anything less than the time when you’re trying to win them over.
