Great loves are the ones that live on forever, they defy time and space...and remain boundless and perfect, even in the darkest memories. Great loves are the ones that matter.

"I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived."

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you

When I look at you, I see forgiveness, I see the truth
You love me for who I am like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong

(when. i. look. at. you.)

and I know I'm not alone

But the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping up
The strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

lights.

"My point is that you do not need me or anyone else around to bring this new kind of light in your life. It is simply waiting out there for you to grasp it, and all you have to do is reach for it. The only person you are fighting is yourself and your stubbornness to engage in new circumstances.” -Into the Wild

I want a love that matters.

Just  so you know, 

we get only one chance in this life...

one opportunity to do something that matters and

to be remembered as people live on in greatness,

even after our time has passed. 

Just so you know,

you should seize every opportunity,

find beauty in the world around you...

nature yes,

but in people.

Embrace the interactions,

and try to understand love.

I've never understood love, and I never will.

But I know this,

so please listen when I say it.

Just so you know,

we only get one shot at the great love.

so take it.

Great loves are the ones that cause quiet explosions in your life.

Ones that hold you while you sleep,

ones that whisper in your ear.

They never leave you, they remain embedded in your soul,

they become a part of you.

They are unreliable and spontaneous,

they challenge you, push you, create you...

and then, when the disappear quietly,

they will haunt you.

But trust me when I say this,

just so you know...

it's all worth it.

You want a love that matters.

You want to feel like you are a part of a love that's greater then eternity,

timeless and magical.

No matter the aftermath,

let it shake your world, steal your breath, leave you speechless.

Just so you know,

you want a love that matters.

hold it with you forever,

never forget what it felt like to be infinite, invincible, indestructible.

Trust me.

I will hold it with me,

forever and always,

I had a love that matters.
