ideal woman <3

Johnny Depp by Jake Chessum, 1999.

— Rumplestiltskin, this thing we have it's never been easy. I’ve lost you so many times, I’ve lost you to darkness, to weakness. And finally, to death. But now I realize…I realize that I have not spent my life losing you, I’ve spent my life finding you. —Belle, when we met, I wasn’t just unloved and unloving. I was an enemy of love. Love had only brought me pain. My walls were up, but you brought them down. You brought me home. You brought light into my life, you chased away all the darkness. I loved you and I will never forget the distance between what I was and what I am. I owe more to you that I could ever say. How you can see the man behind a monster I will never know. — But that monster is gone. The man beneath him may be flawed but we all are. And I love you for it sometimes. And sometimes the best book has the dustiest jacket, and sometimes the best teacup is chipped.
