if only i had found this earlier in life...
"you might not be her first, her last, or her only. she's cared about someone else before and possibly will again- but if she cares for you now; then what else matters? she's not perfect and you aren't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. but if she can make you laugh, hold onto her and give her the most you can. she is probably not going to quote poetry. she might not be thinking about you every second of the day. but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break. so don't hurt her, don't change her and don't expect more than she can give. don't over analyze, smile when she makes you happy, yell when she makes you mad, and miss her whenever she's not there."
