There is no right time to fall in love. consider yourself fortunate if you find someone who loves you for who you are at all times.
When we were younger, it was somewhat easier to make friends, accept failures and fall in love. but as we grow older, we become brave but also afraid to take risks sometimes. We have these questions running in our mind like, "what if it doesn't work out?" or "what if we wouldn't be able to survive the heartbreak this time?"
but knowing all the possibilities, consequences and risks, we fall in love again because they make everything worth it.
They are not perfect, they don't make the pain or sadness disappear but they stay by your side while you heal. They can't turn the day into night or summer into winter but they make you tea and sing your favorite song whenever you feel low.
They are flawed as well. They don't always know what to do, sometimes they say something knowing that it will hurt you because they are hurting from inside too. But on those days, you love them silently and play with their hair.
So, it doesn't matter if you are sixteen or sixty, if love comes wearing your favorite colour, singing your favorite song, open the door and let it in. what is the worst that can happen?
Even if it didn't work out, I am grateful for..
Meeting you. We were friends before we fell in love. All the times you made me laugh with your silly jokes and told me that I was beautiful.
We never needed words, we found comfort and understanding in our silence. All the times you pushed me to follow my dreams. You believed in me when nobody did, reminded me of all the next times waiting for me everytime I failed and celebrated my wins like your own.
We respected each other as individuals and gave each other space whenever needed. The way we both loved each other, selflessly. we loved all our parts, the black, the white and the grey. we kissed each other's imperfections and healed our wounds.
all the times you were patient with me when I wouldn't know how to tell you what was wrong. for letting me hug you and cry without asking questions. Thank you for letting me be myself and for making me a better person.
