Until you're ready

 It's a terrible thing, I think, in life

to wait until you're ready.

I have this feeling now that actually

no one is ever ready to do anything.

There is almost no such thing as ready.

There is only now. And you may as well

do it now. Generally speaking,

now is as a good a time as any.

~Hugh Laurie

Right person

The right person will know how to hold your love.

The right person will choose you just as deeply as you

choose them. You will not have to quiet the way you

care, you will never feel like you are too much. You

will not have to beg for the love you deserve. One day,

you will be met where you are. One day, you will be

someone's favorite thing, and you will not be confused

--you will not feel like you are fighting for someone

who isn't fighting for you. One day, you will understand

that it never mattered how tightly you held on to the

wrong people, how intensely you tried, because the 

right people were always going to find you. The right

people are always going to stay.

Nobody

"Nobody stays forever."

She shouted.

"I'll be your nobody, them."

He replied.

She's tired

 From Noted

She said she was okay and you

believed her? Let me tell you what's

really wrong with her. She's tired.

That's exactly what she is, tired. She's 

tired of getting hurt, tired of being let

down, she's tired of all the lies, she's tired

of all her flaws and insecurities. She's tired.

She hides

From Poetry Matters

she is a beautiful soul,

but if you met her

you wouldn't know

for her walls are high

and keep her beauty deep inside,

hiding her face from a world

that did nothing

but lie.

it sold her dreams

and made her believe

that they could all

become a reality,

only to find out

it wasn't meant to be,

and now,

she hides her beauty

for no one to see.

All the pieces

 Bring me all the pieces of yourself

you look away from, every part that

someone else called unlovable.

I want to love you there first.

Struggling

 by Elisabeth Elliot

Sometimes "struggling" is a nice word for "postponed obedience".
