wishful thinker

I used to tell myself that when I fall in love, I won't say those three words as often as others do. That I don't want them to be the period to my sentences because I don't want them to lose their meaning. That I would only say them when something amazing happens, but then I fell for you and you taught me that it's not how it works. We'll ride a cab and I would look into your eyes. I love you. l watch you eat, painfully slow, and then you'll smile at me when you catch me looking.I love you. You share small details about your day with me..I love you....I love you. l hear you say my name and somehow, it sound way more beautiful than it actually is that I would just melt right there wondering if you knew how much you mean to me now. I love you. You see, I used to tell myself that when I fall in love I won't say those three words often but with you, my heart always wants to.

we typically associate an uneventful day with boredom or stagnancy, but consider this: on an uneventful day, none of your loved ones have died. you haven’t been injured. you haven’t lost your job. you haven’t been emotionally hurt.

“I used to dream of drinking tea with you at night, I mean, to be partners in happiness and in joy. Believe me, my dear, it warms my heart, even if you are far away. Not because I love you less, because I love you more.”
