"Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for." -Ray Bradbury

Oh, sweet pining
Have I ever missed you so!
So safe like an untold secret
Never ever letting you know

Oh, sweet pining
When you lie alone at night
And think about rejection
Or if your feelings could be right

Oh, sweet pining
How can you still follow me?
I cannot ignore my heart
And some days I wish you’d see

That I’m pining for you

Oh, sweet pining
Why, unmoving do you stand here?
Why am I scared to listen
Of the truth I yearn to hear.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
