“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I’d hoped to give you forever.”

“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being ‘in love’, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”

“They say a good love is one that sits you down, gives you a drink of water, and pats you on top of the head. But I say a good love is one that casts you into the wind, sets you ablaze, makes you burn through the skies and ignite the night like a phoenix; the kind that cuts you loose like a wildfire and you can’t stop running simply because you keep on burning everything that you touch! I say that’s a good love; one that burns and flies, and you run with it!”
— C. Joybell C.

“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.”

“I think I fell in love with her, a little bit. Isn't that dumb? But it was like I knew her. Like she was my oldest, dearest friend. The kind of person you can tell anything to, no matter how bad, and they'll still love you, because they know you. I wanted to go with her. I wanted her to notice me. And then she stopped walking. Under the moon, she stopped. And looked at us. She looked at me. Maybe she was trying to tell me something; I don't know. She probably didn't even know I was there. But I'll always love her. All my life.”

But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, this is the problem I want to have...”

“Where do I begin? Well you are by far the most beautiful person I have ever known. I love you with all my heart, and it breaks me to know that after such a short time together we must be parted. It was truly the happiest time in my life and I hope it holds the same significance for you, as it did me. It will be tough for both of us but you are strong, stronger than you know, and I know you will be okay with time...You are one of the kindest most loving people, I have ever met and it is a rare quality. I am so glad to have experienced it for even the shortest period of time. I would have been glad to experience any length of time, whether that be short or long. There is an air of innocence and goodness to you that seems to reach out to all those around you. Your generosity seems to know no bounds and I truly hope you can find someone to match that. I have no doubt you will find someone better than me back home. You are gorgeous in looks; personality, mind and I know you will find someone worthy to be with you, of that I am sure. It feels strange writing this. It is surreal; the idea you must leave seems distant, unreal almost. But as I write this it is sinking in, my hand is going numb. I feel small and scared. I don’t want you to leave. Every fiber of my being says this can’t be real and this isn’t happening. I want to stop it, but what can I do. Oh how I wish you could stay. I would give up everything I have for it. How can I say goodbye? I can’t. I won’t. I can’t say it here; it is beyond me. I am tearing up here and people are staring. I say let them stare for I feel no shame in my love for you. Thank you for everything. I will never forget you. I love you with all my heart.”
