Maybe im wrong in the way i think about love, and being with someone. Maybe I'm messed up to think that the best part of being with someone isnt hanging out, or physically being there for them. Don't get me wrong, it's a very important and necessary part of a relationship-and if you dont have it, then it can't work. But its just not, and never has been the best part for me. I just love the silent things. The things you can't touch or see. It's the things you feel. It's not worth not being with someone if you want it. Distance doesn't matter to me. Not one bit. I could care less. Because i've learned a little more about trust. ive grown up a little. and i believe if you find that one person you cannot stand to be without--don't let them go. Because love, for the most part, is the feelings that you get in return. I don't think love is what you GIVE- but the part you get back. Everyone always says love is a feeling. But as nice as it sounds to say that when you give something, you feel it. I think it's wrong. You can care about someone, and would do anything for them. but without them returning that feelings, then you won't feel a thing. And that's what love is to me. Knowing that some who heartedly cares, and unconditionally wants you there for them, and the other way around. Love is the way they smell when you hug them, and the way when they laugh, just watching them slows down in your mind. Love is when you're talking to someone, and you notice the small things about them-every little detail. Freckles on their collarbone, the blue flecks in the middles of their eyes, the way their hair falls around their face, the way their eyes look when they're sad...just all of it. It's finding someone who needs you, wants you, and cant sleep without knowing you're alright. It's the kind of thing that sees why you should be with someone. why you're with someone not because of the love you THINK you have, but because of the love you know for sure is and always has been between you. You're not friends because of the laughs you spend, but because of the tears you SAVE. Love to me is not wanting to be near that one person because of the thoughts you share, but wanting to be near them for the words you never have to speak. And I know that you aren't in love to miss someone because of what you DO-but because of what you are TOGETHER. love doesn't let go, it endures. It doesn't let go because nothing else completely & fully exists outside of it. It's a sense of safety that keeps hundreds of thousands of people going every single day. It's the only way we know for sure things are going to be okay. And i don't know about anyone else in this world, but it's the one thing that makes me WANT to wake up everyday. Because i love. and not just PEOPLE. but I love everything that I'm blessed enough to have. Love holds on because it's all we have. Love is the only way we know for sure that angels DO exist, that hearts DO skip, and that butterflies in your stomach isn't just something cute five-year-old girls say when the little boy who sits beside her lets her use the bright purple crayon. So why would you ever risk letting that person go who makes you feel like that? Because of distance? Because of time? Because to risk that-you would be risking letting that angel, that piece to your puzzle, that light, and sense of all things good-you would be letting that go. Letting it slip away. You would be losing that. And to me that's everything. it's the closest thing any of us has to magic. But most of all, it's the only chance any of us in this entire world have to feel something. to feel real.
