We all have someone we can fall in love with but only from a safe distance. Someone who gets us so accurately and knows all our best and soft spots. Who satisfies all our standards. Who builds a connection with us without forcing it. We all have someone who knows us so well, who can make us laugh so effortlessly, who knows how to calm the storm inside us, who reads what’s in our heart just by looking at our eyes. We all have someone who suits us so perfectly but we can’t end up with for some reason. Someone we can look at but not hold, we can want but not have. Someone who could’ve become our every sunrise and sunset if only things are different. Someone whom we are sure that in another lifetime, we’d choose them and they’d choose us over and over again. But the thing is, there isn’t another lifetime. Just here and and here is where we can’t be with them.
We all have someone whom we can’t end up with but will forever hold a special place in our heart. Someone whose name will forever be the one we’d think of whenever we’re asked about love.

No doubt about it, my greatest love. Still praying and rooting for you from a distance.
