“She’d told me that one day, she hoped I’d find a man who’d fight with me. Who’d love me even when he wanted to strangle me. Who’d never quit fighting because what we had was worth a few angry words.”

“I prefer silence to the sadness
of being misunderstood.
it doesn’t matter how I explain my heart,
he doesn’t love me the way he should.
days go by without words,
and he doesn’t ask what’s wrong
like I thought he would.
but I still prefer silence to the sadness
of being misunderstood.”

“I want the kind of love
that loves me when I'm too much.
the kind of love that lets me be,
and knows I am enough.
the kind of love that accepts me,
even as I change.
the kind of love that I can ride,
despite all the waves.
the kind of love that can see me smile
and know I'm not okay.
the kind of love that holds me down
but always lets me grow.
the kind of love that sees my rage
and loves me even more.”

“It doesn't matter how busy life's been, how long the five of us have gone without seeing one another: meeting at the cottage is like pulling on a favourite sweatshirt, worn to perfection.
Time doesn't move the same way when we're there. Things change, but we stretch and grow and make room for one another.
Our love is a place we can always come back to, and it will be waiting, the same as it ever was.
You belong here. ”
