Maybe it’s supposed to be this way: me moving at the speed of light, always running, but never actually getting to the place I want to end up at. Never able to find it among the fragments of imagination and reality I try to piece together in my head. Maybe I never really wanted to understand that you’ve been following me all this time. At a distance, but always close enough to catch a glimpse of me, to make sure I was doing okay. That I was moving forward. You never wanted me to stand still, not even when I took off without you. I am so far ahead of you now that I can’t take it back, no matter what I say, no matter what kind of ridiculous excuse I come up with. I never made you angry, I only ever made you sad. Now I can’t help thinking that I messed up big time. That there was no clearer way for you to say I love you, and that I just never stopped to listen, because I never thought it possible for you to go out of your way to come to rest next to me. That you would even want to. I think it was easier to believe that you were completely out of reach, that I was too fast for you to catch up with me. It was the only way for me to leave you behind. And now I can’t get you back. But maybe it was never supposed to be us being on the run together.

You taught me a lot over the years. Mostly that its okay to be alone, but also that soulmates are different for everyone. Sometimes its love, sometimes its friendship. Sometimes, its both. Regardless, your soulmate is the person who gives you absolute peace when the world around you is falling apart.

“Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you’d follow them straight into hell…”

“Letting go is easy, but moving on is difficult because we like familiarity and control. However, accepting that something is clearly wrong about the building you’re standing under and forgiving the architect is one thing. You still have to leave.”

“I want to know you whether you’re afraid of sharks or spiders death or love. I want to know if it’s grammatical errors that drive you crazy or the people correcting them, if you’re more comfortable shaking sand out of your hair or snow, if you prefer coffee or tea, bars or board game nights. I want to know which of your friends you’ve cried in front of, if you’ve ever laughed chocolate milk out of your nose, or kissed someone you didn’t love. I want to know you the you beneath the layer of small talk always kept shined and smudgeless I’m just hoping one day you’ll invite me in.”
