She wasn’t exactly sure when it happened. Or even when it started. All she knew for sure was that right here and now, she was falling hard and she could only pray that he was feeling the same way.
from Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

Is the love that takes your breath away too painful to bear?

Her memory from old habit of the mind
Went slipping back upon the golden days
In which she saw him first,…
from The Idylls of the King – Guinevere by Tennyson

I remember first seeing him standing in the doorway of the dockside restaurant.

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind…
from Ode: Intimations of Immortality by William Wordsworth

Still searching for strength in the ruins of what was a beautiful life – rest in peace.

We’re sorry the number you have reached is not in service at this time
Please check the number, or try your call again.

Why do we talk so much on the phone yet fail to communicate?

Best Friends, Lauren DiMarco, Photography, Relationships

© Lauren DiMarco

Everyone has a “best friend” during each stage of life – only the precious few have the same one.

In the summer before starting high school, a girl with a charming British accent moved into the house across the street from me. We were inseparable for three years – pouring over Seventeen magazines, sewing matching outfits, and attending Canadian Girl in Training classes.

I wish we had kept in touch.

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember.
lyrics from Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye 

We are now just points on each other’s timelines.

Faith in You, Love, Photography, Randy Travis, Relationships

The more I search for my significance,
Seems the more I disappear.
And I wonder, have I made a difference in anybody’s life
Since I’ve been here. 
And I can hear your laughter
It’s the sweetest sound I’ve ever known
I don’t know how love happens,
But I know I’ not alone.
And I do have faith in you. 
lyrics from Faith in You by Randy Travis

I have always had your back, too.

Something to believe in 
for even a night
One night may be forever
but that’s alright, that’s alright
And if you’re gone tomorrow
what was ours still will be
I have something to believe in
now that I know you believed in me.
from Something to Believe In – Newsies the musical

I am glad that I had your love – even for just a little while.
