One Big Online Love Letter

“They always told me that loving someone shouldn’t be that hard. You wouldn’t have to fight for someone to stay in your life if they were supposed to be there. And I never understood that. I’ve always experienced the love where it makes you scream. I’ve only encountered the love where it can make you question your very existence. The kind of love that can make you incredibly happy but at the same time so sad, and maybe alone. Which makes me question if I had ever been in love at all before this moment, because loving you is easy. Loving you is like breathing. I don’t have to remind myself to breathe, as well as I don’t have to remind myself to love you, I just do. I always thought love had to be some crazy story that you tell. But what if it isn’t, what if our story is that being in each other’s lives helps us turn into better people, people who grow and change, people who are individuals but when they come together they are unstoppable. You showed me that love doesn’t have to be that hard.”

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”

“I think there are people that help you become the person that you end up being, and you can be grateful for them, even if they were never meant to be in your life forever.”

“When I look at you I see the only forever I want”

“I know you are the one because my heart and my brain feel the same about you”

“Maybe I’m dreaming you. Maybe you’re dreaming me; maybe we only exist in each other’s dreams and every morning when we wake up we forget all about each other. I guess that would explain a lot.”

“It was strange, really. A couple months ago, I had thought I couldn’t live without him. Apparently I could.”

“Miss someone until they come back, or until you come back, until their absence in your life becomes something to be avoided at all costs. Miss them until you don’t have to anymore, until you’re reunited in your favorite booth in your favorite restaurant ordering your favorite meal, miss them until it feels like you never left. Or miss them until you can’t anymore, until the things you miss are identified and cataloged as things and not a person, until you figure out that easy company and long talks and unblinking, all-knowing eye contact will find you again the way they found you the first time. Miss someone until you don’t.”
