“Something about you caught me by surprise
Though I always knew you’d be my demise.

“I didn’t want you to love me
Didn’t want you thinking of me
 
So I kept my distance
Tried to ignore your existence
I was blinded by my pride
With you, the Jekyll to my Hyde
 
But that’s where you found me
Baby, that’s where you unwound me
 
Loving you would be as easy as taking a breath
But to look at you, that’s a dance with death
 
I’d risk it all,
For you I would
You’d make me fall,
And fall I would
 
Loving you would be as easy as taking a breath
But to be by you, that’s a dance with death.

“I thought once was enough
You turned to me and called my bluff,
Maybe I should have walked away
but I couldn’t resist, I needed replay after replay
 
Loving you would be as easy as taking a breath
But to give you up, that’s a dance with death
 
We were over from the start
I never said I’d give my heart
So now it’s time for this to end
After all, a friend is just a friend
 
Loving you would be as easy as taking a breath
But to give you up, that’s a dance with death
 
So now it’s time for this to end
After all, a friend is just a friend. ”

“Jules: Emma, God, Emma. I love you so much.
Emma: Julian, I...
Jules: Don't. I don't want to hear anything reasonable, not now. I don't want logic. I want this.
Emma: But you need to know ...
Jules: I don't. I've been broken for weeks. I need to be whole again. Even if it doesn't last.
Emma: it can't last. It'll break our hearts.
Jules: Break my heart. Break it in pieces. I give you permission.”
― Cassandra Clare, Lord of Shadows

“Because the birdsong might be pretty,
But it's not for you they sing,
And if you think my winter is too cold,
You don't deserve my spring.”
