I like myself better when I’m with you.
Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else’s situation as you are about your own.
But I do know we're deficient in some way. We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.
Maybe that’s worse, not letting ourselves be loved. Because we’re too afraid of giving ourselves to someone we might lose.
I like myself better when I’m with you.
Don’t cling to things, because everything is impermanent.
You can’t get stuck on what should have happened. That doesn’t help you.
Why are we embarrassed by silence? What comfort do we find in all the noise?
You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened. That doesn't help you...
I like myself better when I’m with you.
Don’t let go too soon, but don’t hold on too long.
Accept who you are and revel in it.
Don’t let go too soon, but don’t hold on too long.
How we feel lonely sometimes to the point of tears, but we don't let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we surge of love for a partner but we don't say anything because we're frozen with fear of what those words might do to the relationships.
You can’t substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship. Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness.
Or how feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.
Death ends a life, not a relationship.
