Not too much, but not too less
Not together, but not a mess
Not a smile, but not a frown
Not a heartbreak, but not a clown

Not quite happy, but not depressed
Not the worst, but not the best
Not a yes, but not a no
Not quite dim, but not a glow

Not a whisper, but not a shout
Not quite in, but not quite out
Not real life, but not a dream
I'm not you, but I'm not me

&quot;life isn&#039;t a matter of milestones, but of moments&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;be as you wish to seem.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;it&#039;s better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not.&quot;
