Quotes Tagged “Tragic Romance”

Lili Naghdi
“The truth is, today’s intense realities are just tomorrow’s memories.”
― Lili Naghdi, On Loving
6 likes

“Xuan’s movements were fluid and effortless, and I followed his lead with ease. The world around us faded away, and for a few precious moments, it was just the two of us, lost in the music in a peaceful quiet. I prayed that God would look down on us and see the beauty of our existence, and the trueness of our love. I prayed that He would decide to spare Xuan and leave us alone for many years. I prayed for a miracle.”
― Kayla Cunningham, Fated to Love You
