    I do not agree with the beginning part of this poem but I love the way it's written and this particular line: "There is such a narrow window for happiness in this life".

    You are radiant because of the glow you emit and though you feel like only one person, the world would be dimmer without you in it.

    I like this sad lyric from Billie Eilish's Happier Than Ever:

    "I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
    But I'd have an empty line, 'cause you never did"

    THE TRUELOVE
    by David Whyte

    There is a faith in loving fiercely
    the one who is rightfully yours,
    especially if you have
    waited years and especially
    if part of you never believed
    you could deserve this
    loved and beckoning hand
    held out to you this way.

    I am thinking of faith now
    and the testaments of loneliness
    and what we feel we are
    worthy of in this world.

    Years ago in the Hebrides,
    I remember an old man
    who walked every morning
    on the grey stones
    to the shore of baying seals,
    who would press his hat
    to his chest in the blustering
    salt wind and say his prayer
    to the turbulent Jesus
    hidden in the water,

    and I think of the story
    of the storm and everyone
    waking and seeing
    the distant
    yet familiar figure
    far across the water
    calling to them

    and how we are all
    preparing for that
    abrupt waking,
    and that calling,
    and that moment
    we have to say yes,
    except it will
    not come so grandly
    so Biblically
    but more subtly
    and intimately in the face
    of the one you know
    you have to love

    so that when
    we finally step out of the boat
    toward them, we find
    everything holds
    us, and everything confirms
    our courage, and if you wanted
    to drown you could,
    but you don’t
    because finally
    after all this struggle
    and all these years
    you simply don’t want to
    any more
    you’ve simply had enough
    of drowning
    and you want to live and you
    want to love and you will
    walk across any territory
    and any darkness
    however fluid and however
    dangerous to take the
    one hand you know
    belongs in yours.

    Hey!
    I love this idea, and it sounds great that we share our favourites quotes and citations.
    I have stuck this song for days, and I cannot avoid singing it all day long. This song is called 'Meet me at our spot' I guess you guys know it already. The citation is 'When I'm older ill be so much stronger.'

    I love 'the way we dress doesn't mean yes' (I also have it on a t-shirt).

    LOVE AFTER LOVE
    by Derek Walcott

    The time will come
    when, with elation,
    you will greet yourself arriving
    at your own door, in your own mirror,
    and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
    and say, sit here. Eat.
    You will love again the stranger who was your self.
    Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
    to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

    all your life, whom you ignored
    for another, who knows you by heart.
    Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

    the photographs, the desperate notes,
    peel your own image from the mirror.
    Sit. Feast on your life.
