i think love can be about the grand gestures like kissing in the rain and perfectly planned proposals but i also think it’s about smaller things, like wishing you’d known someone at thirteen or spending hours messing around and making them laugh at the cheesecake factory, or spending your best halloween ever with them, or feeling like you could write a thesis on why everyone should be in love with them, or feeling so strongly about them that you could talk about your connection for days and weeks and months and years, but being too shy to do so because it’s raw and personal and yours. it’s about knowing you’ll love someone when you meet them and being protective of them in small ways.
