I want you to think about me at night, when you can’t sleep and you look outside and see the stars. And think about the times we used to look at the night sky. I want you to remember all the fun we had. And then I want you to go to sleep knowing that somewhere in the world I can’t sleep either because I’m thinking too.
“…You thought you should not have to ask. I thought my private fizzings and stirrings weightless, but you got sapped. Your secret began as a scar and turned to a decision flavored with payback. The size of my thirst, your silence! Between us now is the continent we didn’t finish, and one person’s regret. Because you have none, this is what I will never tell you: I took too many days off from loving you. And: I thought we could both get larger. And: Neither of us was the right one to unlock the other’s body…”

“Necesito huir, escapar, tener nuevas relaciones, porque todo se ha vuelto tan vacío.”
This is too funny and cute

“With a sigh, he took the bottle and poured whiskey into the glass in his hand. He stopped when the glass was half full and he reached for his phone. Staring at the glass, he remembered that he used to debate with her about the glass being half full or half empty. Half full would always be her answer. He looked at the number he once swore he would delete but he never did. With furrowed eyebrows and a messy mind, he pressed the call button next to the number and brought the phone to his right ear. He listened as a familiar soft voice started to speak. “Okay this is awkward but hey, I think I’m busy at the moment,” he smiled as the voice said, “so please leave your name and message after the beep, and I will call you back as soon as possible.” “It’s me,” he spoke after the beep tone, “you still have not changed your recorded message when you said you wanted to.” “Well, I’m glad you didn’t,” he continued after a short pause, “because I can still remember the funny yet lovely look in your eyes when you first recorded this. You asked me for some ideas because you didn’t know what to say and when I suggested this, you weren’t really happy about it.” “But you went on with it because you thought it was better than nothing and that you would make a change once you thought of something much better. It’s been five years since then. Time sure flies, doesn’t it?” “You know, I have so much that I have yet to say to you,” he sighed, “I never stopped thinking of you and I am still waiting for you.” “So please come back and I promise you that we will be better than we will ever be. We will go through everything hand in hand. We will face the world together,” he went on, his voice quiet and shaky as he tried to keep his tears at bay, “Just like what you said before, together until whenever, right?””

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
— C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
This song used to help me so much, really made me think about how I’d got into that state of mind and really empowered me to get back to the ‘old me’. I hope it can help some other people, it makes me really emotional now just remembering back to how I was feeling when I first watched this.
