` p.s. i love you. ♡

“There is a primal reassurance in being touched, in knowing that someone else, someone close to you, wants to be touching you. There is a bone-deep security that goes with the brush of a human hand, a silent, reflex-level affirmation that someone is near, that someone cares.”

have you every heard of the theory that soulmates are made from the same star? that the cosmos long ago planned for you to fall into each other’s arms? that no matter how close or far away from one another you were destined to meet, to find your home within each other’s eyes. and maybe that’s why when you first met each other there was a sudden click, that feeling that you had known them for your entire life. maybe that’s your atoms connecting again for the first time since you were born, piecing themselves back together like the words to your favorite poem. maybe that’s why no matter the difficulties you face, the late-night fights, the time spent apart, or the distance between you, you always fall back together. forever fated to return to one another because the stardust in your veins and the strings connecting your hearts are pulling you back to where you belong. maybe, just maybe the moon and her stars destined you to be together.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

To the one who loves him next, you will become his home. At times, you will be a palace. At others, a haunted shack with ghostly moans. And if he leaves, or if you leave, whatever be the cause.. You’ll be reminded by your grief of guilt of all of which you lost. And you will masquerade as someone who is not a wreck.. ..as you shake to give advice to the one who loves him next. So to the one who loves him next, this is all I ask: Know that you love him now, but I loved him first. And I will love him last.

You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else.
