you know this already


You tell me you're afraid of falling in love, that you'll never be able to let someone in completely - and so you won't.

But you're wrong. I know this because I can hear the incredible joy and frustration and warmth in your voice when you talk to her, and when you talk to me about her from the colour of her eyes to the next big decision she has to make in her life. I can feel how your body tenses up when you look at her, and how your arms fit around her body to make sure that it fits with yours. I can see the whole heart you've given her already.

So be honest. Be courageous. And love her utterly, fully, and completely with your entire heart.

  2. And yet the planet will still spin out of control, whirling around stars and galaxies, hurtling through space and colliding with cosmic rays. Still stars will wink in and out of existence, the night sky a different tapestry each night. Still, we are only stardust, and will go back to it someday. This void, so gigantic and enveloping, will swallow up our love too, and everyone else's, and still just be a little blue dot that will wink away someday too.
