"You know when I said I knew a little about love? That wasn’t true. I know a lot about love. I’ve seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars, pain, lies, hate… It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves… you could search to the farthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful.

So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and…what Im trying to say…. is I think I love you. Is this love….? I never imagined I’d know it for myself. My heart…it feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like its trying to escape because it doesnt belong to me anymore. It belongs to you, and if you wanted to, id wish for nothing in exchange-no fits. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you love me too. Just your heart. In exchange of mine."
