I think I’ve lived long enough to know that every ‘quote’ has it’s own paradox. Because quite honestly if you follow one, you’ll reach some sort of deadlock. Because what even is ‘abscence makes the heart grow fonder’. It’s a silly phrase someone wrote, when they couldn’t hold their loved ones any longer, or how bout that other one. where you should place your heart on fate and destiny.
Let that person go if you love them, oh but side effect is that the pain will sink in quite dreadfully.
That’s not love.
Love isn’t made of quotes and concepts. It’s not a Hollywood rom-com, it’s an on going prospect.
It’s growing together and making mistakes. sharing your ideas, sharing mixtapes. It’s laughing in unison at your own jokes, and blasting slayer after I put on the strokes.
It’s crying on a shoulder you can put your trust on, It’s a 3am phone call when no one else can be relied upon. It’s entangling two minds and creating a bond. It’s the sick worried feeling when the other doesn’t respond. It’s a heck of a tolerance and understanding and loving the soul, because looks aren’t everlasting. It’s a million other things that no one ever taught you.
You learn yourself because it’s different every time you go through. that feeling when you catch a glimpse of them starring back.
The you, you once knew, stopped seeing in white and black, there’s pink, and blue a different name for a different hue, torquoise, crimson, amber.
It’s us, It’s me, It’s you.
