“She was the kind of girl who loved to stretch out under the sheets, eating chocolate, reading books and fucking on rainy afternoons.” *** “I spend most nights at home falling in love with the idea of you.” *** “So fierce is the passion that burns within my heart, a raging forest fire, unstoppable and consuming.” *** “I write because you exist.” *** “Love and loss share the same unmade bed.” *** “Good night - may you fall asleep in the arms of a dream, so beautiful, you'll cry when you awake.” *** “I am hopelessly in love with a memory. An echo from another time, another place.” *** “Lost is a lovely place to find yourself.” *** “I’m not a complicated girl, she laughed, I just want to run away with you, rob a bank, fall in love and eat ice creams in Paris.” *** “The saddest truth is realising you have fallen madly in love with what can never be.” *** “I could taste the salt on her lips, each kiss like a summer wave breaking on an empty beach.” *** “I am hypnotized sleepwalking to the rhythm of your words, never wishing to wake.” *** “So fierce is the passion that burns within my heart, a raging forest fire, unstoppable and consuming.” *** “She loved to spend rainy afternoons lost in thought, her hand daydreaming beneath the fabric of her floral panties.” *** “Magic tumbled from her pretty lips and when she spoke the language of the universe – the stars sighed in unison.” *** “Falling in love is not rational. It's madness. A beautiful, wonderful moment of magnificent insanity.” *** “There is no perfect ending to a relationship. No magic formula. Just a silent scream as they rip your fucking heart out.” *** “I have cried an ocean for you but still your ship refuses to sail.” *** “Unbutton, unzip, unclip, untie, undo, undress. 'Understood,' she replied.” *** “I live in a peculiar world," she said, "in a place where reality ends and a fiction begins. Maybe that's why I love you.” *** “Falling so madly in love with you is a tragedy. Nothing in my world will ever seem so beautiful again.” *** “A mind possessed by unmade books, unwritten lines on empty hooks.” *** “I never understood desire until I felt your hands around my throat.” *** “I suddenly realized it’s no coincidence the two middle letters of life are if. For every action we make, there is a reaction. The outcome often beyond our control, fragile and fraught with ruinous consequences. Like a soap bubble made real by a gentle breath only to be taken by it.” *** “We fell asleep as lovers do, listening to the raindrops pitter-patter on the old tin roof, hands entwined and souls secretly smiling.” *** “I'm a strange girl, hopelessly lost and terribly confused. What's worse, I think I may have fallen madly in love with you.” *** “My heart has become a broken compass. Every time I try to leave you, I always find myself running back into your arms.” *** “She was a curious girl, a wanderer, who spent her summers chasing fluttering pieces of prose and eating strawberries.” *** “Pull my hair and tell me that you love me.” *** “I believe in you." "Words that water flowers.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *** (Michael Faudet is the author of the international bestsellers Dirty Pretty Things, Bitter Sweet Love, Smoke and Mirrors, Winter of Summers, Cult of Two, and Playing with Matches.
