Cigarettes didn’t phase me, alcohol didn’t get me, drugs didn’t need me but, gods, I went an hour without you and I finally realized what addiction was like.

“A part of me wants you
in the most innocent way possible:
taking off your shoes in my bedroom,
climbing under the sheets and watching
whatever’s in my Netflix queue,
barely even touching
as we talk about our days until we
fall asleep with our
clothes still on.

But another, hungrier part of me
wants you unbuttoning your shirt
before you’re completely through my door,
falling onto my bed, and
scrambling to make your fingers
unbutton my shirt faster
Your mouth shaking out
my name the entire time.”

What I have with you, I don’t want with anyone else.

14/10/2014

Thank you for being my anchor.
Thank you for being my safe place.
Thank you for being my home and my comfort.
Thank you for being a person whom I can trust implicitly.
Thank you for being my happiness.
Thank you for being my strength.
Thank you for being my best friend, my boyfriend, my fiancé, my husband to be, my partner, my person.
Thank you for being your beautiful, crazy, weird, and amazing self.
Thank you for being my everything.
I love you. There isn't a way to accurately quantify just how much.

Ever since you've been around, my life has been so much better.

22/09/2014

I am so in love with every living cell that you have in your body. There is not a single thing that I haven't fallen in love with, and continue to fall in love with every day.

18/09/2014

You can be in a relationship for two years and feel nothing; you can be in a relationship for two months and feel everything. Time is not a measure of quality, of infatuation, or of love.

21/08/2014

I remember when you leaned in to kiss me, and I swear in that moment, not a single force on earth could stop the trembling of my heart.

11/08/2014

I never wanted a relationship that was serious all the time. I always wanted someone that I can laugh with, be silly with, and enjoy the little things in life with that are quite often taken for granted. Someone who not only gets my weirdness or my sense of humor, but thinks it's hilarious too. Someone who allows me to be unapologetically myself and who isn't afraid to be their true self with me. Thank you, for being that person. Your kindness and compassion is far beyond anything that I could ever have expected and you are well beyond one of the strongest and most beautiful individuals I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. There are not enough words in the human language to express how blessed and lucky I am to have you in my life... Thank you, thank you, thank you sir. I love you with all of my heart and soul. On every level - emotionally, chemically, physically, mentally, biologically - unequivocally every fiber of my being, every atom, is yours.

"My nightmares are usually about losing you."

We crossed paths at the right time. When we had both suffered enough. When we were both at the point of sabotage and destruction. When we were too shattered to wholly trust in anyone. We crossed paths when we had experienced enough to be ready to enjoy and appreciate something real.

07/08/2014

There are days when I wish that we could trade places. Just for a day. That way I could see me through your eyes, and you could see yourself through mine. That way you could see that you are the most beautiful person I have ever had the pleasure of seeing, holding, kissing, and sharing my heart and life with.

31/07/2014

 You don't cross my mind, you live there.

22/07/2014

I find your lips kissable.

And your kiss unmissable.

Your fingertips so touchable.

And your eyes irresistible.

16/07/2014

I've been thinking about it, if I would change anything if I could.
I think, the thing that I would go back and change above all else, if it were possible...
Would be to cross the road.
On that night, when we were first introduced.
When we were all on the bridge.
One small group on one side, keeping me where I was, trying to calm me.
The other larger group on the other side on the way to continue the party...
If I could change anything, it would be to cross the bridge to you, after you were stopped from crossing the bridge to me.

15/07/2014

I've always looked. As bad as that may seem, I've always looked for and watched attractive people I saw on the street while I was in a relationship. Every relationship I've been in, and I've still been looking. This isn't something I would normally admit, but...

I don't look any more.

I have no reason to look any more. I have no reason to notice how attractive someone else is any more. I can look at a person, and admire a specific feature or trait. But I don't take in whether or not they're attractive. I don't need to. I have what I've searched for. 

I have my person.

28/06/2014

I thought I would never find someone 

that I loved more than him.

But there you were standing right in front of me

and I couldn't ignore it.

That after all this time

I was wrong.

But it was the first time

I didn't mind being wrong.

"There are a hundred trillion cells in the human body,” she said. “And every single one of the cells of my body loves you. We shed cells, and grow new ones, and my new cells love you more than the old ones, which is why I love you more every day than I did the day before. It’s science. And when I die and they burn my body and I become ashes that mix with the air, and part of the ground and the trees and the stars, everyone who breathes that air or sees the flowers that grow out of the ground or looks up at the stars will remember you and love you, because I love you that much.”

                                   - Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire.

Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.

"All I want now is to look at life. You may come and look at it with me, if you care to."

I want to wake up at 2am, and see the vague outline of your body against the darkness of my room. And I want to find your hands under the sheets ready for mine. And I want to feel your warm breath sticky against my skin. I want to fall back asleep wrapped up in you.

11/06/2014

"A girl met a boy and she loved him more than moonlight and the starry sky, more than changing seasons or oversized sweaters, more than polaroids and postcards, old typewriters or record players, concert tickets and the text she highlighted in her favourite novels. She had come to love everything he was and everything she had made him into. Her heart swelled as the days passed by, she was so full of love for him and hope that she forgot to do what so many forget to do. She forgot to leave room to live herself"

In Japanese culture they have three ways of saying 'I love you'
They follow this rule so that the true essence and meaning of the words are preserved.

You say 'Daisuki' "大好き" for friends and the person that you like.
You say 'Aishiteru' "愛してる" for a more serious relationship.
And you say 'Koishiteru' "恋してる" to the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with.

04/06/2014

I love the way that feels when you brush your fingers across my face. I love the feeling of our lips grazing. I will always love the way that it feels when you gently hold the back of my neck and pull me closer as we kiss. I love seeing the tenderness in your eyes, your true feelings leaking out unmasked.

02/06/2014

I have never been happier than when I am with you. You make me feel more comfortable in my own skin, more relaxed in general. You make me feel truly alive.

27/05/2014

True love cannot be defined by any means. It's a cluster of adjectives; it's crazy, passionate, complicated, painful - but most importantly, true love is real. It's that feeling of being inexplicably drawn to another person. Love isn't about finding someone who you can escape reality with. It's about finding someone who makes reality worthwhile.

23/05/2014

To say that 'I want you'
would sound far too eager.

To say that 'I need you'
would sound far too desperate.

To say 'I love you'
would sound far too hasty.

So I remain silent,
hoping not to sound
too indifferent.

29/04/2014

I want to someone to talk to
it may not sound like much
but its all I want of you

I want to never be alone

to never be forced to hear

the silent creaks of my home

I want someone to share with me

to give me the pieces of their day

through tiny conversations, and hearty stories

till there's nothing left to say

I want someone to stay with me

on those many cold nights

when the only thing that can keep me warm

are their sweet whispered delights

I want someone

it hardly matters who

to stick with me

and stay with me through

the transgressions of my days

the weaknesses of my soul

and share the same with me

make me feel whole 

I want to someone to talk to

someone's whose hand I can clutch

All I want is a true friend

Surely that isn't too much

Waking up after a dream of you, finding you aren't really there. Knowing that there's hardly any chance you are even thinking about me... It is one of the worst pains imaginable.

25/03/2014

Something I have always dreamed of is a fairytale romance. To be swept off my feet by a dashing and handsome hero. To be gathered up in his arms and whisked away on wild adventures in distant lands.  To be courted, as was once proper, by a gentleman who is chivalrous and kind, yet also mysterious and wild.

The kind of romance that is usually only on the big screen, or better yet, found in between the pages of a book.

I may never have the fairytale romance that I dream of. But I can content myself with loving someone as fiercely as heavenly fire, and having their love returned just as ferociously.

15/03/2014

I hate it when I dream of you and wake up alone.

06/03/2014

"Dear future lover,
I hope our love is the kind that I don't even have to think about. I hope that I never have to convince myself to love any certain part of you because I hope it all comes naturally. I hope our love is the kind that is quiet on the outside but loud on the inside. I want to love you like the space between lightning and thunder - electrified and alive, but silent and knowing. And I want you to love me like the clouds love the rain. You're going to have to let me go on my own sometimes, but I will always come back, and we will always to two parts of the same thing."

                    -Marianna Paige

But I love you
so much more
than just to the moon
and back.

"It’s Monday,
and your hair is messy.
You haphazardly put on your jeans and shirt
as you moan about the day of the week -
and I love you.

It’s Tuesday,
and you’re stumbling your way around the room,
trying to sort out the things you have to do.
You stop to briefly kiss the freckles on my nose,
asking me about my day -
and I love you.

It’s Wednesday,
and you’re quietly sprawled on the couch.
You pat the spot next to you and pepper kisses on my hair
because it’s my least favorite day of the week (and you know it) -
and I love you.

It’s Thursday,
and you’re wondering what the weekend will bring,
but you’re still moaning about how
the week is going by too slow for your tastes -
and I love you.

It’s Friday,
and I’m surrounded by DVDs and snacks
you’ve prepared when I was gone.
You welcome me with blankets and warmth from your arms -
and I love you.

It’s Saturday,
and you’re feeling lazy.
You won’t let me leave your arms
(or is it the other way around?)
So you tuck me under your chin as we both wonder
how much time we have left
before sleep makes us miss each other’s faces -
and I love you.

It’s Sunday,
and there’s nothing much to say but
I love you."

With you, I am comfortable.
I know I can talk about anything, or sit by your side in silence.
You see me at my worst, but only talk about my best.
I can be happy about my biggest achievements, while you know my deepest insecurities.
I'm comfortable with you, and you should know that means everything to me.
