If I could have one wish


If I could have just one wish, I would wish to wake up every day to the sound of your breath on my neck, the warmth of your lips on my cheek, the touch of your fingers on my skin, and the feel of your heart beating with mine… knowing that I could never find that feeling with anyone other than you.

You bring out the best in me

My hands are shaking


My hands are shaking 
from carrying this torch
from carrying this torch for you

My lips are bleeding 
from kissing you goodbye
from kissing you goodbye every night

My sheets are tearing
from sleeping in too long
from sleeping in too long with you

My hands are shaking
from carrying this torch
from carrying this torch for you

Your love is my drug


                                         This is me when you’re not here :(

                I recently read that scientists have confirmed that falling in love basically generates the same euphoric feeling as using cocaine. It also stimulates intellectual areas of the brain as well as the stereotypical areas of the heart; and it only takes a fifth of a second to get you high. When you are in love, your brain releases euphoria-inducing chemicals that make you feel like you are on cloud nine. It makes so much sense now that I think about it. Sometimes when you just fell in love - or maybe you are heartbroken – you can’t eat or sleep! Once you’ve experienced love for the first time, you just gotta have more; and when you don’t get it, you go insane. 

                
This would also make sense as to why it is so difficult to get through a break-up. You are going through withdrawal. After having a dose of love every day for years and years straight, this can be something that even rehab might not be able to fix. I’ve been thinking about this concept lately whenever I miss my boyfriend. He goes to a different college then I do, so we only get to see each other during the weekends. We met during the school year so for months I was very used to only seeing him once a week. Then the summer came, our first summer together, and we got to see each other every single day. I got extremely used to that, and when school started up again, it was very difficult for me. The first week without him, I cried nearly every day. Imagine a daily cocaine user now having to cut back to only once a week – somehow I feel like they would still be having an easier time than I did. As the weeks went by, I slowly, slowlyyyyy, got used to only having one dose of my lovebug a week. I still miss him every day though…

But most of all, I'm thankful for you


“Someday someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.”

I thought Thanksgiving would be an appropriate day to think about this quote. I am so thankful for my Prince Charming, every single day. I think about how I have spent so many years struggling with past relationships and how I would so desperately try to force things to work out. It's like the whole time, the universe was just shouting to me, "These guys aren't right for you! Your true soul mate is still out there!" My life has been a fairytale ever since I met him, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

We're all a little weird



"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."

The Lovely Other Dinosaur

The Fierce Dinosaur was trapped inside his cage of ice until the Lovely Other Dinosaur came and melted it with kind thoughts and loving words. 

Now they stand together on the hill, telling each other stories and feeling the warmth of the sun on their backs.
