In life, only one thing is certain, apart from death and taxes. No matter how hard you try, no matter how good your intentions, you are going to make mistakes. You’re going to hurt people. You’re going to get hurt. And if you ever want to recover… there’s really only one thing you can say.

Forgive and forget. That’s what they say. It’s good advice, but it’s not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled… old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for, is that one day we’ll be lucky enough to forget.

"Baby what If?"
✿ posted 6 months ago - Notes - reblog ✿
- Meredith: So I got Alex to cover for me.
- Derek: Oh.
- Meredith: So I can leave right after I round on my patients.
- Derek: Yeah.
- Meredith: 48 uninterrupted hours...
- Derek: Yeah, yeah. Um...you know what? Maybe this is not a good weekend.
- Meredith: What did Lexie say about me?
- Derek: She didn't say anything. I did all the talking. Look, don't blame her.
- Meredith: So what, you're friends with my sister now? I mean, you talk to the other Grey about me?
- Derek: Mm-hmm. You know what I talked about with the other Grey? All the things this Grey won't let me say.
- Meredith: You can say anything to me.
- Derek: I want to marry you. I want to have kids with you. I want to build us a house. I want to settle down and grow old with you. I want to die when I'm 110 years old in your arms. I don't want 48 uninterrupted hours. I want a lifetime. (Meredith takes a step back) Mm-hmm. Do you see what happens? I say things like that, and you fight the urge to run in the opposite direction. It's okay. I understand. I didn't, but now I do. I do... you're just getting started. And I've been doing this for a long time. Deep down...you're still an intern. And you're not ready.
- Meredith: I'm not ready right now. But things could stay the way they are... And I can get ready. I'll get ready.
- Derek: Things can stay the way they are. We can still meet in the elevator or the on call room. And maybe you'll be ready. And I'll wait. I'll wait until you're ready.
- Meredith: Okay, then.
- Derek: Yeah, but what if... what if while I'm waiting I meet someone who is ready to give me what I want from you?
- Meredith: What if you do?
- Derek: I don't know.
The truth is painful. Deep down, nobody wants to hear it, especially when it hits close to home. Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can’t help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them because we owe them at least that much.

"Secrets and Little Games":
✿ posted 6 months ago - 0 notes - reblog ✿
- Meredith: Do I have sex hair?
- Derek: Uh, if I did my job right.
- Meredith: You go ahead.
- Derek: What?
- Meredith: You go ahead. I'll wait a minute.
- Derek: So this isn't just breakup sex. This is secret breakup sex. Is this about Cristina, this morning in the elevator?
- Meredith: I don't know. I don't know what to do, you know? We don't talk about it, the whole Burke thing. I mean, I want to be a good friend. I want to take care of her. But you don't take care of Cristina.
- Derek: Okay, so by being with me you're cheating on Cristina?
- Meredith: Just, if she knew about you and me...
- Derek: You'd have to talk about it. You'd have to talk about you and me, and it'd be a long conversation, and there'd be no time left over to talk about her.
- Meredith: I told you, we don't talk about it.
"No more Sleepovers":
✿ posted 6 months ago - 0 notes - reblog ✿
- Meredith: This is the best breakup ever.
- Derek: I don't know why we didn't break up a long time ago.
- Meredith: What are you doing?
- Derek: Sleeping.
- Meredith: No. No sleepovers.
- Derek: Please. It's 3:00 in the morning. I gotta work tomorrow.
- Meredith: We agreed. No sleepovers. Broken up people don't sleep over. Sex only. It's the only part of the relationship that works.
- Derek: I know. Why screw it up with everything else, right? Dinner, conversations...
- Meredith: You're mocking my severe emotional limitations.
- Derek: You know, I could live without conversation. I could live without meals or sleepovers. Well, we shouldn't have sleepovers because you snore. But mockery? Mockery, unh-unh.
- Meredith: Okay, sex and mockery it is.
No matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes letting it go hurts even worse.
