375 ㅡ ♕ Always choose love.

My mother once said to me; there are two kinds of men you'll meet. The first will give you the life you want and the second will give you the love you desire. If you're one of the lucky few, you will find both in the one person. But if you ever find yourself having to choose between the two, then always choose love.

374 ㅡ ♕ It is an honor to love you.

It feels bittersweet to love you, as though time has already run its ruinous path and everything good is over before it begins. It feels perilous to love you, like a dust scorn swallowing up the sky or a comet skimming the stratosphere. But it is an honor to love you. Like the snow drifts giving way to spring, I will hold you for as long as I can.

373 ㅡ ♕ I want to be the reason why you can't sleep at night.

I don't want you to love me because I'm good for you, because I say and do all the right things. Because I am everything you have been looking for. I want to be the one you didn't see coming. The one who gets under your skin. Who makes you unsteady. Who makes you question everything you have ever believed about love. I want to be the one who makes you feel reckless and out of control; the one you are infuriatingly and inexplicably drawn to. I don't want to be the one who tucks you into bed; I want to be the reason why you can't sleep at night.

372 ㅡ ♕ He lives in stars above you.

There is one who you belong to, whose love–there is no song for. And though you know it's wrongful, there is someone else you long for. Your heart was once a vessel, it was filled up to the brim; until the day he left you, now everything sings of him. Of the two who came to love you, to one, your heart you gave. He lives in stars above you–in the love who came and stayed.

371 ㅡ ♕ I was yours, and you have always been mine.

You were you,

and I was I;

we were two

before our time.

I was yours

before I knew,

and you have always

been mine too.

370 ㅡ ♕ One day, you meet someone.

It happens like this.

One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else–closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel–one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them–even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering–the reason for their presence will become clear in due time.

Though here is a word of warning–you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more.

It's so dark right now, I can't see any light around me.

That's because the light is coming from you. You can't see it but everyone else can.
