trip, stumble, and fall upon....

the other day i was looking for the song Lucky by Jason Mraz online. actually i was looking for what the song was called becuase one of my friends was telling me this song where there was this awsesome that she recalled had a line like, "i fell in love with my best friend" So i typed this into my google search box and this quote website came up. i am i think addicted to quotes or something so i opened the website and there were all of these adorably sad quotes and... yeah... i feel like sharing... (most of them are anonymous... just fyi)



He was never my boyfriend, but I miss his hugs, his smiles, his advice, his love, his kindness, the times we cried together, and the times we laughed together. I guess I fell in love with our friendship.

Sometimes, when you imagine a perfect guy, you realize you've described a person you've known forever.

It was just you and me. Two friends. And then with a simple look, my hand fell into yours.
It hurts to fall in love with a friend. You keep on hiding your feelings, avoiding it as mush as possible, till you cry your heart out of fear of losing a friend and a love you never really had

You eased the pain when I faked the wound, you calmed me down when I faked the mood, you were instantly there when I faked the call, but why didn't you catch me? I didn't fake the fall.

So everyone asks whatever happened to us, the two best friends that were crazy about each other, I always answer with that you were crazy and walked away from it all.
I know they say that a girl and guy can be best friends without anything between them but it just isn’t true. At some point they will fall for one another. If we’d said how we’d felt would we have been good together? If we had broken up, would we still be friends? Is it any use wondering now? I’ll always deeply regret the fact we never told each other how we felt. We would have been perfect together, I promise. But we’ve moved on, I guess, and we’ll only ever be friends. I’ll always love you so much more than I should and forever dream of how we could have lived. I’ll watch you fall in and out of love from my little chair in the corner of your mind as you watch me do the same, whilst sitting in the corner of mine. One day we’ll look at each other and smile, realizing that a friendship is worth more than regret because if I can’t have you as my friend, my life is not worth living.-punkyfairydude  (on bolt)

You made me hurt.  I loved you but I was so scared of losing you that I never said anything.  I let myself think we could never be more than friends.  I made my heart fall away.  But why now, as I fall for someone else, do you turn to me and tell me that I could have had so much more?- punkyfairydude (on bolt)

You walk by me everyday and say hello. Everyday you take time out to listen to me. You talk to me, smile at me, laugh with me, and have fun with me. Well I talk, smile and laugh too, but inside I'm hurting. Deep down it hurts to be with you because I love you and you are only a friend.

So the ones highlighted in blue are my faves... and the yellows were the other ones i like but still not the very best... i know.... they are sad. but i dont know, i kind of like them.

Love & Quotage,

Emiko
