Favorite Quote:
Sometimes love if the scariest thing we can encounter, it is the monster at the end of the book.


I always hated Romeo and Juliet

Reading it in school was like running the mile in gym

I hated every second of it

Because who would die for love?

It seemed irrational and irelevent 

Just words on a page confessing love to imagination

Until i met you.

Two people destined to be opposed 

Finding connection in the smallest ways

Like holding hands in the middle of a plane

And little napkin sketches.

It wasnt easy to love you

But i did none the less

Its the best thing i ever did with my life

With you life feels safer

And death feels further away.

I always hated Romeo and Juliet

But that being said,

I would happily die for you.
