“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” <br /> “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” <br /> “You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

If love dies what is there to live for

Pain hurts

Hope fails

Life no longer has purpose

To exist

Yet here we are 

Alive 

But not living
