“When you meet the one who changes the way your heart beats, dance with them to that rhythm for as long as the song lasts.”

May you fall in love with someone, who never gets tired of saving you from your own chaos.

I look at you, and I just love you, and it terrifies me. It terrifies me what I would do for you.

Val voor me zoals de herfst. Houdt me warm zoals de zomer. En ik zal je kalmeren zoals een regenachtige dag en rillingen sturen zoals de winter.

A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

Happily ever after, or even just together ever after, is not cheesy…It’s the noblest, like, the most courageous thing two people can shoot for.

I want you to know that it is not always easy to love me. That sometimes my chest is a field full of landmines, and where you went last night, you can’t go tomorrow. There is no manual, there is no road map, no help line you can call; my body does not come with instructions, and sometimes even I don’t know what to do with it. This cannot be easy. But still, you touch me anyway.

When the right one comes along, you figure it out. You move mountains, you change your life and you do whatever it takes to keep them with you.
