I used to think that loving somebody meant sacrificing anything for them. I thought it meant writing them a blank cheque. I thought it meant that you would die without each other. But it turns out that death and a broken heart are not he same.
These days, I think that love is not so dramatic as all that. Maybe loving somebody means simply they bring out the best in you, and you bring out the best in them - so that together, you are always the best possible versions of yourselves.

When I’m married someday I want to be so in love that our kids are disgusted
When I say, “I love you,” it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.

You know you’re in love with someone when their happiness makes you happier than it makes them.

Bruce Adler (via wordsnquotes)
I love you not because you love me back because you’re the person I think about at 1 AM when I am tired and fed up.
I love you because overtime I think of you my mind is filled with a torrent of memories and my favourite music.
I love you because you remind me that good people still exist in this world.
I love you because of our lazy days in and our feverish night outs.
I love you because you complement me, and not complete me.
And finally I love you because maybe just maybe you make my heart more tender and my compassion a little brighter.
You make me the person I’ve always wanted to be.
You make me love myself honey.
And that’s the best kind of love there is.
