Hey you, I’m not giving up on us.
“Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. If you don’t start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone who can love like crazy and who’ll love you the same way back. And how do you find her? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I’m not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you’ll come back. Because the truth is, there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived.”

You know how you once said that we’re past the season in our lives of “Things worthwhile are never easy”?
Well, I’m afraid I have to disagree. In fact, I think that that continues to stand true not just for how circumstances are for us, but in so many situations we face in life.
Many times, people seem to do things that don’t seem to make sense to the outside eye. Perhaps because it seems like a lot of effort is put in with no visible result, or perhaps you can’t even tell if things will go the way you want it to in the end.
When faced with those in that situation, I usually ask them a simple question - Is all this worth it to you? And y’know, if it’s worth it, then just go ahead.. because who is to judge what is worthy or worthless to you? Of course, this also comes with discretion but that’s a different story.
And for myself, I think what we share between us is still immensely worth it. You are worth it - worth the distance, the tears, the heartache, the loneliness, the time apart.
It isn’t easy.. Actually, it might be one of the most difficult things I’ve done in my life - but it’s worthwhile, you see.
And that, simply, is why I’m not giving up on us. It has never been an option to me, even when I don’t know how to deal with the long distance part of the relationship and honestly, I doubt it will be. When everything’s been said and done, I realise how much I love you.. and also how much you love me.
It’s insane. Because I still haven’t quite figured out what I’ve done to deserve you and the amount of love you have for me but I’m selfishly holding on to it because I just know, that this is worth fighting for.
I love you, boy. Very very much. *squish*
