“I am starting to accept
that you never loved me.
And it's sad
because I don't think you see
how beautiful you are to me.
Your face was the light
that chased away the shadows,
every nightmare, every fear.
But you burned out and now
I'm learning to be afraid
of the dark once again.”
― Sade Andria Zabala, Coffee and Cigarettes

― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

“The Sun is such a lonely star. Whenever he comes out to see his friends, they all disappear.”
