“The Long Way Home

Why is it when people feel they are losing each other they always leave each other?

Why do people walk away from their house when all they have to do to get home is turn around?”

“It's amazing how many people will care about you
if only you would care about them, and
It's even more remarkable
how many people will care about you anyway”
― Merrit Malloy, The People Who Didn't Say Goodbye

“The Thief who Couldn't Get Away

I knew a man who didn't come to see his children for years...
how inept a thief he was to rob from himself like that
...Ironically, his punishment for this
was that his children loved him anyway...and
it broke his heart”
― Merrit Malloy, The People Who Didn't Say Goodbye

“We grow to deserve what we need to believe...
Since I've known you
I've been careful not to pray out loud
Wishes have a way of coming true when you least expect...”
― Merrit Malloy, Things I Meant to Say to You When We Were Old
