They may not have loved you, but they did change you - sometimes even into someone better.

Sometimes love gives us more pain than joy - but that doesn't mean it is worth any less.

A great poet to me is a person who can describe a painting in such ways that even a person with closed eyes can feel the pain of the artist.

Caged birds grow the most colourful wings.

The more I write about us, the more our love feels like art.

An artist paints to forget while a poet writes to remember.

To know why you fell in love will never bring you back up.

All I ask the new year for is to fall silently into the spacesthat the last one left empty. Filling them with a hopethat tells me gently at dawnthat my simple love can cure even the most extraordinary heart and that my broken past is enough for each tomorrow that follows.Maybe it will even remind methat all the mistakes I will collect over the next yearare not as bad as the chances missed in the last one.

The moon is alive because of the darkness - how could we ever be afraid of something that gives the stars a home?
