“the street’s a little kinder when you’re home, can’t you see that the day seems clearer now that you are here or is it me? maybe its just me”
“please believe that when you find your way again, you’re gonna change the world. and then we’re all gonna brag and say we knew her when this was your home” “i’m home-” “welcome home-” “when you’re here with me i used to think we lived at the top of the world! i’m home.” “you’re finally home!”

“i’ve been a lot of places, but i’ve learned now near and far- there’s no need to roam cause home is where you are.”
“so long as you come home at the end of the day, that would be enough… let me be a part of the narrative, in the story they will write someday, let this moment be the first chapter, where you decide to stay.”

“do you regret?” “i’d do it again. i’d like to believe that i’d do it again and again, and again. and what more can i say?”
“do you know? all i want is you. anything you do is alright, yes, it’s alright. do you know?”
“there’s a place for us, a time and place for us. hold my hand and we’re halfway there.”
“whatever may come we’ll come through, and who can know how when all i know now to be true is this promise that i make to you.”
“knowing one day we’d remember that joy, you’d remember that girl i’d remember that boy. till we do the promise i made- i’ll make it brand new. a promise that i made to you.”
“all afternoon, doing every little chore- the thought of you stays bright. sometimes i stand in the middle of the floor, not going left, not going right.”

“good things get better, bad get worse. wait- i think i meant that in reverse.”
“deep talks, long walks, telephone calls. thoughts shared, souls bared, private names, all those photos up on the walls ‘with love’. ”
“what’s the good in being good if everyone is blind, and you’re always left behind?”
