love.

Falling in love is rather like a dance. Each dancer has his or her own steps, but for the dance to work, each dancer must also understand the other's steps & they must move together in a fluid moment, sometimes parting but always aware of the other. It is a beautiful thing to watch. And yet, so many budding romances fall at the first hurdles; too many dancers spin apart from each other, or fail to bend to the other's rhythm.

So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.

When I sleep, I dream of you and when I wake, I long to hold you in my arms. If anything, our time apart has only made me more certain that I want to spend my nights by your side, and my days with your heart.

You know what's wrong with you...You're chicken. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, 'Okay, life's a fact.' People do fall in love. People do belong to each other. Because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness. You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing, yet you're terrified that somebody's gonna put you in a cage. Well, baby, you're already in a cage and you built it yourself. And it's not bound on the east by Somali Land or on the west by Tulip, Texas. It's everywhere you go. Because no matter where you run, you're always going to end up running into yourself.

Ultimately, he's going to find out. How you chew,
how you sip, how you hum, how you dance, how you smell at every point
in the day. The fact that most of your friends are shallow. That you hate
sitting in an aisle seat, how you sometimes can't seem to listen, how you
get hyper when you travel, how certain games or shows make you really
happy, how you get cranky because you're too stupid to remember to sleep,
how you don't like the way you look in most of your pictures, how you
can't get off the phone when you're late because you don't want to sound like
you don't care, how you have no ability to save receipts. He’s going to know
all of it; everything about you, he's going to know.
And he's still going to love you.

Baby I just see so many relationships fail and people that think they’re in love, but they have no idea. Because what we have is amazing. It’s hard some days, but i wouldn’t have anybody else on Earth. It hurts me to hear people say we don’t know what love is, that we aren’t meant for each other, but we’re proving people wrong everyday because we push through the hard days because the good days and the perfect moments are what make everything worth it. They are what make me live and strive for more. We’re not perfect, but we’re as good as it gets in this world.
