- “It’s not fair. | It’s not fair how you’re over there, and I’m over here. | It’s not fair that I don’t know how your breathe tastes or how your hand feels. | It’s not fair that we’re light years apart, yet we’re under the same moon. | It’s not fair that our eyes can’t meet, and our feet can’t touch.” – (J.M.)
- “Love leaves you empty and full at once | It leaves you burning and at peace | It leaves you satisfied and wanting more | It gives you light in darkness | An ember that never cools | A song of silence | A dream with eyes wide open | It flees when it is sought | It finds you when you aren’t looking | It is magic and it is real.” – Connor Judson Garrett, Become The Fool
- “I want to be where you are | In your city, with the lights blurring past as we ride in the car, | going somewhere, anywhere | To your favorite restaurants or to a concert of a band we both love | It really doesn’t matter where we go, as long as I’m with you. | I want to hold your hand and smell the scent of your cologne | To see you smile back at me, | to hear your laugh, | to hear our laughs combine and create a song all of its own | I want to be where my heart is: with you.” – m.k.

- “I don’t know why things happen the way they do—why so much of our lives have been spent in heartache and disappointment. Wrong timing. The wrong people. Unhappy situations. Not being our best and truest selves. What I do know is that in you, I have finally found all I never dared dream I could deserve or have—the kind of love that is rare. Being known in a way that touches the deepest parts of me. Accepted in a way that blows my mind. In you, the love I have always desired to give now has a place to call home. I have been a skeptic, but you are my undeniable miracle. The questions don’t matter anymore. We have finally found each other, and that is enough.” – Joh Mark Green
