How can you find Forever if you’re always looking for the end?

When I look at you, I don’t see a girl who’s broken and bruised. I see a girl so immensely incredible and strong, with a future so bright – because you’ve fought and lost but you know your life is more than just this one fight.

Try explaining to the guy you actually really like that it’s just one of those days where you crave a bit of space and time to yourself instead of hanging out with him.

He initiates. He plans dates and he follows through. He surprises you with flowers and your favorite chocolate on the way home from work. He cleans up if you’ve done the cooking.

You will see it in the way he places you second while he’s your first. You will see it in the way he hears you but he listens to other people. You will see it in the way he’s excited to see you but you’re ecstatic to see him.

I know you didn’t love me because when you couldn’t understand me, instead of trying, you only got angry. And angrier when I tried to help and it didn’t help.

Love is not understanding what you’re feeling because there isn’t a word in the English language to describe what you feel.

Maybe it was my fault you didn’t love me. I didn’t fall for you but I did love you. Maybe I wasn’t sure but I know now I did. And maybe I still do.
