Love Letters

When you live with someone, you're able to demonstratively manifest your love for them in innumerous ways; from the minute to the grandiose. A look, a glance, a small gesture to ease their burden and show that you care - even cleaning or picking up if its something you know will help their state of mind. Perhaps a project you've worked tireless on to please them, or going out of your way to feign interest in something which means quite a bit to them; spending time with them rather than doing literally anything else not because you feel you have to, but because its where you, too, wish to be - with them. Or even the struggles you endure with them together, comforting them, because a team is only as strong as its weakest link and when you spend your life building one another up, you know there's nothing you can't accomplish together.

When you love someone from a distance, it is very different, and every little thing can turn into a love letter if you allow it to.

Selections from Pillow Thoughts

I will love you even if we don't end up together. Even if you walk away from me, I will still love you. I will love you even if you marry someone else and on the coldest days of the year you spend your nights wishing you had married me after all, because no one knows how to ignite the fire in your soul quite the way I do.
