“I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.”
—Sean Astin as Samwise Gamgee in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

“You may not be her first, her last or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze, and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.
”

Leon Lewis ft. OneRepublic - Lost Then Found
Staring at tears on the pages of letters that I never could write
I know love isnt painless but it’s worth the risk it’s worth the fight
Playing it over and over I wish that I could turn back time
Baby we’re wrong but we could be right
Why do we say things we can’t take back and why do we miss what we never had
Both of us fell to the ground and love was so lost it couldn’t be found
What would it take to forget who’s blame
I’m tired of crying at the sound of your name
Why don’t we turn this around
Love in the ending don’t you wanna be lost then found
Lost then found…
Lost then found…
Love in the ending we could be lost then found
Empty glasses and tables
Echo’s through these walls
The memories go where we go there like the suitcase that you never lose
If the good Lord’s eye is upon me I swear to make things right
What ever we’ve lost I know we can find
Why do we say things we can’t take back and why do we miss what we never had
Both of us fell to the ground and love was so lost it couldn’t be found
What would it take to forget who’s blame
I’m tired of crying at the sound of your name
Why don’t we turn this around
Love in the ending don’t you wanna be lost then found
The winds are calling up we can’t stop the rain
Wish that you could take it back but it’s too late it’s too late…
Why do we say things we can’t take back and why do we miss what we never had
Both of us fell to the ground and love was so lost it couldn’t be found
What would it take to forget who’s blame
I’m tired of crying at the sound of your name
Why don’t we turn this around
Love in the ending don’t you wanna be lost then found
Lost then found…
Lost then found…
Love in the ending we could be lost then found
The winds are calling up we can’t stop the rain
Wish that you could take it back but it’s too late it’s too late…
We could be lost then found.

“Lasting relationships are built on balance. Not standing on one foot with your hands outstretched and grasping at nothing for support but sensitive awareness of what you bring to the table to balance the equation. And, honesty and integrity to keep to your end of the bargain.”
—Pierre Goh
