In addition to unfinished business, some ghosts haunt so that they will be remembered.

His ghost comes back to be remembered. If he can__ be in this life, he procures a way to stay in orbit, and in that way, is never forgotten.

People care much more for how things look than how things are.

You can not argue with stupid but you can certainly play with it.

A friendship has but one chief adversary and that is envy. It is sired by resentment with the potential consequence of unresolved estrangement." She looked at the woman in conflict and said, "Do not envy her but imagine what it took for her to have what you resent her for. Would you want to embark upon her journey instead of your own to procure it? You notice her abundance but overlook her losses; do not envy her because she would rather have your friendship than your envy." The woman looked at her and nodded in accord, "And how do you do that?" she asked. The woman sighed in reflective thought. "By changing the way you think.

I know you're there. I can detect your presence each time it closes in on mine.

Three of them have the gift of sight but two of them ignore it when what they want most is to believe "this one" will be different.

Envy, as distasteful as it is, has seeped into my mind on rare occasions, and those I've envied, although few in number, have only been those that live a life of leisure with peace of mind and time to do such wonderful things as read.

I shivered as the cold was all encompassing, not just from being outdoors, but from being read as well. He had a way of seeing through me. It was as unnerving as it was bonding and I couldn't figure out how the two could co-exist.

When he comes for her, it__ only in her dreams where she has no control, no way to shut the door, and nowhere to run. That__ when she listens.

I don__ miss anyone. If I did I would do something about it. Besides, some people come back...in dreams. That__ when they__e honest.

Why is it you tell me the truth only when you've fallen asleep? It's then that you visit me.

You can shoo people away in real life, but not when they force their way in through the dream door.

Sometimes, despite how your heart feels, you have to do what you must in order to get the result you need. When it's impossible to walk away then you need to make it hurt and they will walk away for you.

Tough break-up? Trash stinks, which is why you toss it.

Loyalty. Is it something only dogs know?When I think of it, I wonder if I would rather have it than love. Whereas love is often an over-used word and an unpredictable feeling, the other is nothing but dependability.

Friendship is a sacred thing and I do not extend the word lightly. I've had long-term romances in my life but few genuine friendships. I am exceedingly picky about who I let in my inner circle and because of that I have a few friends and many acquaintances.

She never wants to get to the point where she looks forward to hearing from someone. Once you look forward to something, you__e inevitably let down and nothing can stay the same so she'd rather expect nothing at all and just be surprised that she was thought of at all.
