I think you knew deep down, I could have given you everything. Maybe you were too scared to give it a shot. Maybe you weren’t strong enough to try.

Virgo: I know you think you don’t deserve love and you don’t think anyone in their right mind could fall for you but please know that 2018 is the year you’re going to fall head over heels for someone, and they will feel the exact same way!
