Falling in love over breakfast.
Charel: could I fall in love?
Charel: I don't even know what it feels like I think.
Me: it's like falling from the highest cliff but willingly because you genuinely believe the person you love is going to be at the bottom to catch you.
Charel: no I'm selfish. I don't think I can willingly fall like that.
Me: sometimes it's against your will. You don't even know you're falling until you hit the ground or you're caught.
Me: when has love not been?
Charel: after a year and a half with Jamal I thought maybe I'd feel what you're talking about but I never did.
Me: what was the point if you didn't love him?
Charel: I think I hoped that feeling would come or maybe I was a coward and he was all I knew. I want to know that feeling with someone you know? I want to love like you love him.
Me: everyone's love is different. You don't have to love like me, love like you. That makes all the difference.
