"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness, but in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." - C.S. Lewis
I told him that i was scared. But he comforted me that there was nothing to fear. That he'll be waiting. It always surprises me how our relationship has grown in many ways and that there's someone who actually puts up with my idiosyncrasies. I do hope we remain close. Far in distance but never apart in the heart. Love is about understanding and giving without expecting anything in return. Nobody ever said that a lasting relationship doesn't take effort. Each hurdle would make us closer like how the last one did (at least if the time is taken to understand how each party feels). Love will grow in unexpected ways when a leap of faith and trust is given.
I want a relationship like my parent's/ So loving that they still indulge in each other's company at every other chance they have even after nearly 30 odd years of knowing each other. Like how my dad can't live without my mom. She's his oxygen.
