Wayward

[illuminatewords]

“When I first met you, I thought you were my soulmate. When we said our last goodbye, my heart shattered beyond recognition. Time took us away from each other and then distance intervened. But even then, I knew that the universe would someday bring you back to me. So with a piece of me missing, I went on to live my life and you did the same. And when you stumbled in the same coffee shop as me three years later, it felt like meeting you for the first time all over again. And when we kissed two weeks later, I realized that the magic was still there, harvesting inside of me, waiting to be awakened by you.”

I was right about you

You are my soulmate

“I cannot stand small talk, because I feel like there’s an elephant standing in the room shitting all over everything and nobody is saying anything. I’m just dying to say, “Hey, do you ever feel like jumping off a bridge?” or “Do you feel an emptiness inside your chest at night that is going to swallow you?” But you can’t say that at a cocktail party.”

I’m a firm believer that things have a way of falling into place, they have a way of unfolding naturally and I’m a firm believer that if something is meant to happen, then against all odds, it will happen.

So if our story does not end here, I hope I’m still the same when you’re back.

I hope I don’t lose an inch of respect for you. I hope I can still admire your qualities whether you’re near or far and I hope I can still go to you for advice and I hope you still care.

I hope that when we meet again, we can still look at each other the way we did before timing and distance got in the way and I hope that the time we spent apart would help us realize what we truly meant to each other.

I hope our story is not like all other short stories; I hope our story is long, full of plot twists, surprises, lessons and I hope our story has a happy ending.

But if this is the end of our story; if this is all it will ever be, then I hope that when we meet again, we’re both happy, I hope we can still wish the best for each other because we both know how much we struggled to find meaning, to find love and find ourselves.

If I see you again and I don’t feel a thing, I hope there’s no bitterness, no resentment, and no sadness. I hope we can be a reminder of how God sometimes brings two people together to heal each other and once they’re both healed, they move on to better and bigger things.

Maybe healing is not the same thing as loving. Maybe other people heal you so other people can love you. Maybe we all improve each other for someone else.

But if this is the end of our story, then I want you to know that you are my favorite chapter, the chapter I will go back and read when I want to smile and the chapter I will go back and read when the story gets boring and I hope I’m your favorite chapter too.

If our story doesn’t have a happy ending, I hope we’re the chapter that led to it and I hope we are the reason why we started believing in happy endings again.

But if we are meant for each other, then I hope we’re both still on the same page when we meet again, that we can pick up exactly where we left off and keep writing the rest of our story together.

Sometimes I can feel all the pain in the world. It drowns me, it shatters me and it burns me to see all this hate, sadness, desperation and ruthlessness. It feels like I could hear the world crying to stop this madness, but nothing happens. This world needs love and compassion more than anything else - it is all what life is about. Remember that

[margo-marg0]

When I’m thinking about my future I don’t know what to expect, because life is unpredictable and this scares and amazes me at the same time.

[margo-marg0]

Isn’t it ironic that I first needed to loose you in order to reach you again. We are finally really talking again, not this bullshit-kind of talking like “how are you... what are you doing”, but we are talking about us, about our fears and hopes, although we both know that it’s over, but at this moment I feel closer to you than I was in the last couple months.

[margo-marg0]

Although I know that in a year or two the pain will be gone and our memories will make me smile - at the moment they’re tearing my heart apart and this hurts like hell

[margo-marg0]

I don’t want to kiss other lips, I only want to kiss yours.

[margo-marg0]

I need to hate you for a little while, just long enough to let you go and after that I want to love you again with all my heart because you are a beautiful person , you will always be, but you are not my beautiful person anymore, you will never be again.

[wordsnquotes]

“This year I learned that pain is inevitable. Loved ones will be lost whether it be death or simply growing apart. People will disappoint you and no matter how much you may love them, sometimes you need to walk away for yourself. It’s commendable to plan for the future and to visualize the things you want in life. Most likely none of it will happen and life will take you on a journey you never planned for. The number one lesson I have learned this year though is, No matter how unbearable the pain may be, love conquers everything and it can be found in the most unexpected places. We just have to be willing to invite it in and give it back. To cherish those who continue to love us even when we feel we don’t deserve it. That kind of love is hard to find and it will leave if it is not nourished, especially the love we need for ourselves.”
