“I loved you on a technicality, but I found you on a technicality. We find our truths in people who don’t deserve it and find ourselves in people who wouldn’t necessarily understand it.

“I loved you once.
It was a love so powerful, so mighty
Yet so tender, so ethereal, so genuine, A love which, at the time, I believed Had circumstances been different, It would have been extraordinaryanan A love so passionate, I would willingly die for you If I had to. Because your life Means more to me than mine.
I believed you also loved me once In the same way, with the same passion. I believed our love Was from another time, That it was an eternal love, Where with each rebirth,
We would reencounter each other again, That your love for me was so mighty, You would also give your life for me.
I was wrong...
As much as I would have taken The blade of a sword for you That you would live, I realised you would never Do the same for me.
You love yourself more than you love me.
I would sacrifice my life for you, But you would not do so for me.
That if only one of us could stay on the boat, You would push me off for self preservation.
So I will make my ultimate sacrifice. You don't need to push me off. I am jumping off the vessel so you will live. Because both you and I agree Your life is worth more than mine.
But in jumping, I'm taking back my love for you. You can't have it anymore. Because you shan't have it both ways. My love for you dies with me at the bottom Of the sea.”
“i loved you quietly
wanting only
to baptise you
with light
upon light
for the way you laugh
into your neck
in the courtyard
of your dreams
i loved you
soft like satin wind
gliding
across the river of music
and memory
i kissed the cherry trees
you crossed
the scent of nostalgia
wild
under warm vernal rain
i danced
without a sound
i loved you
solely you
between damp pages
of starlings and songs
while the moon wept
i held you
like a holy yes
in my infinite solitude”
“I loved you so much once. I did. More than anything in the whole wide world. Imagine that. What a laugh that is now. Can you believe it? We were so intimate once upon a time I can't believe it now. The memory of being that intimate with somebody. We were so intimate I could puke. I can't imagine ever being that intimate with somebody else. I haven't been.”

To find you, and touch your skin, and smell your breath, and hear all your thoughts. But I don't think that's true anymore." She wiped her eyes. "Because I don't want to be meant for someone like you.”

“I loved you the first second I saw you. I think I've loved you for as long as there's been love in the world. I love your voice. I love your face. I love your hands. I love everything you do, and I love the way you do everything. It feels like magic when you touch me. I love the way your mind works, and the things you say. And even though it's all true, all that, I don't really understand it, and I can't explain it—to you or to myself. I just love you. I just love you with all my heart. You do what God should do: you give me a reason to live. You give me a reason to love the world.”

Source: Butterfly Weeds
“I loved you unconditionally — for you, not for anything else.
I loved you without ever seeing you, without even hearing your voice.
I loved you despite everything, and never grew tired.
I loved you with complete honesty, as if you were my first… and last love.
And yet, all of that was not enough.
You were the punishment I deserved… as if love itself were my sin.”
“i loved you
until loving you
meant losing myself
so i let go
not because you weren’t enough
but because i deserve to be whole
without having to shatter”

“I loved you!” he yelled. He jumped up out of his chair so quickly I never saw it coming. “I loved you, and you destroyed me. You took my heart and ripped it up. You might as well have staked me!” The change in his features also caught me by surprise. His voice filled the room. So much grief, so much anger. So unlike the usual Adrian. He strode toward me, hand clasped over his chest. “I. Loved. You. And you used me the whole time.”

“I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul The former love has never gone away, But let it not recall to you my dole; I wish not sadden you in any way. I loved you silently, without hope, fully, In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain; I loved you so tenderly and truly, As let you else be loved by any man.”
“I loved you; even now I may confess, Some embers of my love their fire retain; But do not let it cause you more distress, I do not want to sadden you again. Hopeless and tongue tied, yet I loved you dearly With pangs the jealous and the timid know; So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely, I pray God grant another love you so.”

“I lowered my hands and stared at the tiny horse, considering his question. I couldn’t think of anyone I’d ever felt sorry for. There were plenty of kids I envied. There were others I achingly admired, but that might simply be another form of jealousy. Then there were those I feared, dreaded. And the worst of them, the man who shamed me. I could see my father’s angry features looming over my mother. I could clearly picture her beside him in his truck, cowering against the door while he belittled and assaulted her.
I guess I did know someone I felt sorry for.”

“I lowered my phone, hope and anger warring for control of my emotions. As always, it was easier to let anger win. I turned back to Sylvester. "You threw him out?" I asked, in a low dangerous tone. "I was asleep for almost eleven hours, and you threw him out?"
"October, I told you we had asked him -"
"No. 'We asked him to leave so you can rest' only works if I was asleep for four hours, or six, or maybe eight, although me sleeping for eight hours when I'm not injured or drugged is such a perishingly rare event that he should have been sitting next to the bed with a bowl of popcorn. Do you understand me? I was poisoned. This stuff is poison to changelings, and the man I love wanted to be with me, and you sent him away. You kept him away from me for eleven hours, and you didn't tell him what was going on. I know you meant well. But can either of you tell me how in the hell you could believe that was right?”
