But honey, believe me when I tell you, there are wonderful men out there; I’ve seen them. The kind of men who will value you, whose only concern is your happiness. These men will look at you like you are magical. Like you possess the secrets to the world.

I’ll know that our chapters lived on separate pages for a while but the ink was always pressed together, was always permanent, that in the end we'd come back together.
Today I will not count the days till I see you next, I will not imagine the ways I could get to you, I will not curse the miles and hours between us. I will not curse myself for making this decision, for choosing my dreams, for knowing we'll be okay. Today I will trust our love, I will trust that…
Today I will not let my body feel heavy, incomplete, empty, as if it's missing a vital part. Today I promise I'll try to live without you, today I will not fight the urge to run to you.
Let’s leave. Let’s run away from here, from all of the things that keep us from just being together. From losing time to the feel of our skin pressed together and learning every curve to each other’s lips. Our time on this earth is too short and our love too much for this lifetime. Let’s go, my…

I want to get lost with you, in you. I want to find myself with you.
Real love doesn’t let people disappear; it doesn’t let the unfortunate timing of the universe stop two people from ending up together. Because people always find their way in the end, people who are meant for each other, will ride through storms and packed out tubes and delayed flights and every…
Time does not stop those souls who were made for each other.
Because love doesn’t wait for time. Because clocks don’t reset. Because an hour lost is one you never get back. Because you should not have to see someone’s face in a photograph and tell yourself and your friends that they were the ‘one who got away’.
The truth is, love doesn’t worry so much about time. Love doesn’t stop being love because things are complicated. Feelings don’t stop burning inside you like fireworks just because you both have other priorities, or your lives are a little messy. That intense need to be beside each other doesn’t…
