Conversations

I miss you, like how I miss the fine sand beneath my feet; like how I miss the rush of jogging in the morning. I miss you like how I miss the sunshine on a cool weather. I miss you like how I miss quiet happiness. I miss you like how I miss perfect nights-and those perfect nights mean being with you.

Some say that they want to erase every memory they have to ease the pain, but I never want to forget you. Though it still hurts, my love for you is greater than the pain or the mistakes you have made. And don't let anyone make you believe that you're worthless, because I am willing to die for you. You're one of the best things that happened to me and I love you- with the kind of love that is boundless and that lasts forever. Nothing will ever change that.

The God of creation will use my biggest failure to launch me to my greatest win.

And whenever I do my best, I discern myself better.

My being rests calmly in the pure and constant love of God.

I love you like how the wind touches your face- invisible yet strong; short yet infinite; and raging yet free.

Love is not being blinded by someone’s beautiful eyes, his or her awesome personality, or the amazing chemistry you have. True love is seeing that person clearly- all his or her mistakes, sins, and darkest secrets but still choosing to love him or her unconditionally, selflessly, and patiently. True love is more than being together and making each other feel good; it is putting that person’s best interests first before your own worldly desires. Love is not completing yourself with another person; it is sharing what you already have within yourself. Love doesn’t require us to receive, but it requires us to give. We do not fall in love, because we are saved by love. Love is more than a feeling, hence it is not fleeting. Love is a verb, and it must always be in action.

You just lost the moon while counting the stars.

If you’re looking for the word that means caring for someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want no matter how much it destroys you, it’s love! And when you love someone, you just don’t stop. Ever. Even when people roll their eyes, or call you crazy, even then, especially then!

That was the year I got left at the altar. It was the year I got knocked out by a crazy bartender. The year I got fired. The year I got beat up by a goat, a girl goat at that. And dammit, if it wasn't the best year of my life. Because if any one of those things hadn't happened, I never would have ended up in what turned out to be the best job I ever had. But more importantly, I wouldn't have met your mother.

Sometimes love means taking a step back. If you care about somebody, you should want them to be happy even if you wind up being left out.
