I read this book in AP English my senior year of high school. I loved it, it related to everything I was going through. It relates to something similar to what I am going through now. I cringe. I smile. I remember all over again. How heart less I became based on me giving up on love ?
I tried to understand love, but I am too young. I love this though.
Love demands expression. It will not stay still, stay silent, be good, be modest, be seen and not heard, no. It will break out in tongues of praise, the high note that smashes the glass and spills the liquid. It is no conservationist love. It is a big game hunter and you are the game. A curse on this game. How can you stick at a game when the rules keep changing? I shall call myself Alice and play croquet with the flamingos. In Wonderland everyone cheats and love is Wonderland isn’t it? Love makes the world go round. Love is blind. All you need is love. Nobody ever died of a broken heart. You’ll get over it. It’ll be different when we’re married. Think of the children. Time’s a great healer. Still waiting for Mr. Right? Miss Right? and maybe all the little Rights?
Isn't this amazing, beautifully written.
Doesn't this express everything you want to say and haven't.
I love this. I love love.
I just think I feel it for you.
I like you, my heart melts when we kiss. The shattered heart you leave me with was a burden it was already in a few pieces.
I will leave you with this.
"You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never loses. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?
i read the book and am not sure if this is a woman or a man, do you know ?
