i want to believe that the sidewalk curb won't always feel like the edge of a cliff
i want to believe that adventure can begin in an instant
and that you can fall in love in the course of an evening
i want to believe that as we age our faces more aptly reflect the caliber of our kindness
and that it was love. even if i was alone in feeling it.
that out of all this sadness and destruction. out of all of this world turmoil, good will arise.
i want to believe all this (whatever this is) is worth it
oh how i want to believe...

Wow, so poignantly said! You really have a poetic eloquence in the way you express yourself, I love reading everything you have to say.
Indeed, there's no point trying at all if all this is not worth it...
I believe...and I feel you really do too. ;)

Beautiful - and yes, I believe all of those things (that's what 40 will do to you :)

"and that it was love. even if i was alone in feeling it."
-GORGEOUS. i felt a hundred moments with those two simple lines.
"and that you can fall in love in the course of an evening"
i can, and i'm pretty sure it will, happen to you.
this weekend proved to me that this CAN happen. ive never had a boyfriend, never been in a relationship, etc. and the night it did, it was AMAZING. it happened to me when i thought it never would.
but the downside to my unbelieveable love story: he's from another country and is unfortunately much too old for me. even he whispered a sigh to me, "it's too bad i'm twice your age."
ahhhhh.
oy, i'm sorry i rambled! :(
your words are amazing
i just recently started reading your work and now you are a DAILY stop in my so called life
i come to you for reassurance, faith, and UNBELIEVEABLE quotes for life that i could find nowhere else
please
please
please
keep it up
you inspire me
and let me know
it WILL work out...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this.
I want to believe to. xoxo
LOVE this! i love it all, but cut down to the quick- "and that it was love. even if i was alone in feeling it."
and that it was love. even if i was alone in feeling it.
It is, and sometimes its the hardest kind of love.
