Some romance food for thoughts
2 fine quotes that I’ve came across. Very meaningful ones.
This is from a forum…
沉默
有人说，暗恋的职责是沉默。
沉默，因为我不知道怎么开口，怎么对你说。
沉默，因为我说不出自己有什么好处，而你的好处却有很多。
沉默，因为你身边有一个人，而且他对你很好。我不想破坏你的幸福。
沉默，因为我喜欢自虐。
沉默，因为我怕被你拒绝。我怕你说：“你很好，可是……”
我的字典里，已经有太多“可是”，我怎么能够再承受一次？
沉默，是因为我们是好朋友，我怕从此失去一个知己，又得不到一个情人。
沉默，是我不想你以为我一直为你做那么多事情，是因为我暗恋你，而不是欣赏你的才干。
沉默，因为我不能向你保证些什么，我不能给你些什么。
沉默，因为我不想你知道表面上满不在乎的我，原来那么脆弱。
沉默，因为我也许不适合你，也许有其他人比我更能够照顾你。
沉默，因为有时候我会害怕当我们终于相恋，许多美丽的幻想也会随之破灭
在沉默中我错过了。
因为沉默，我失去的才是我最痛的
And this, is from a movie, Chasing Amy.
I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we’re great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I’m sure that’s what you’ll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can’t take this anymore. I can’t stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can’t, I can’t look into your eyes without feeling that, that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can’t talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, because I’ve never felt this way before, and I don’t care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can’t hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn’t allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I’ll accept that. But I know… I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. All I ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that - and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn’t another soul on this fucking planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I’m with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can’t deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I’m forever changed because of who you are and what you’ve meant to me, which - while I do appreciate it - I’d never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of.
Yup, just some romance food for thoughts because I’m too unoccupied.
