you guys don’t even understand how much I adore the whole ‘falling in love for the second time’ thing, it is probably my favourite ever romance trope
like, give me characters who have been in a long term relationship for years, give me characters who have been married, happily married, and who thought that was it for them, that it would never happen again and they would have to live the rest of their lives alone
give me characters who have lost the love of their life…and then let them find another one
by all means make it awkward; make them reluctant and unsure, have it take a long time, make it a slow and strange and dawning realisation but let it be real
give me characters who fall in love a second time, and have it be as real and passionate and important as anything else in their lives has been, give me characters who thought they would never be able to move on realising that you don’t have to deny your past to embrace your future, give me characters who fall in love again in spite of themselves, discovering that they’re not too old and not too broken to find happiness again
give me characters who fall in love a second time; desperately, blissfully, head-over-heels and stupid in love
because let me tell you
I live for that shit
