“روز اول با خودم گفتم دیگرش هرگز نخواهم دید
روز دوم باز میگفتم لیک با اندوه و با تردید
روز سوم هم گذشت اما بر سر پیمان خود بودم
ظلمت زندان مرا میکشت باز زندان بان خود بودم
آن من دیوانه عاصی در درونم های و هو میکرد
مشتت بر دیوارها میکوفت روزنی را جستجو میکردد
میشنیدم نیمه شب در خواب های های گریه هایش را
در صدایم گوش میکردم درد لیال صدایش را
شرمگین میخواندمش بر خویش از چه بیهوده گریانی؟
در میان گریه مینالید دوستش دارم نمیدانی؟
روزها رفتند و من دیگر خود نمیدانم کدامینم
آن من سرسخت مغرورم یا من مغلوب دیرینم
بگذرم گر از سر پیمان میکشد این غم دگر بارم
مینشینم شاید او آید عاقبت روزی به دیدار”

“Lately I can't help wanting us
to be like other people.
For example, if I were a smoker,

you'd lift a match to the cigarette
just as I put it between my lips.
It's never been like that

between us: none of that
easy chemistry, no quick, half automatic
flares. Everything between us

had to be learned.
Saturday finds me brooding
behind my book, all my fantasies

of seduction run up
against the rocks.
Tell me again

why you don't like
sex in the afternoon?
No, don't tell me--

I'll never understand you
never understand us, America's strangest
loving couple: they never

drink a bottle of wine together
and rarely look at each other.
Into each other's eyes, I mean.”
― Deborah Garrison, A Working Girl Can't Win

“I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay”

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
