<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were you,
\nand I was I;
\nwe were two
\nbefore our time.<\/p>\n
I was yours \u201cThere is one who you belong to, whose love \u2013 there is no song for. And though you know it\u2019s wrongful, there is someone else you long for. Your heart was once a vessel, it was filled up to the brim; until the day he left you, now everything sings of him. Of the two who came to love you, to one, your heart you gave. He lives in stars above you \u2013 in the love who came and stayed.\u201d \u2014 Lang Leav readings<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want you to love me because I\u2019m good for you, because I say and do all the right things. Because I am everything you have been looking for. I want to be the one you didn\u2019t see coming. The one who gets under your skin. Who makes you unsteady. Who makes you question everything you have ever believed about love. I want to be the one who makes you feel reckless and out of control; the one you are infuriatingly and inexplicably drawn to. I don\u2019t want to be the one who tucks you into bed; I want to be the reason why you can\u2019t sleep at night.\u201d \u2014 Lang Leav<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels bittersweet to love you, as though time has already run its ruinous path and everything good is over before it begins. It feels perilous to love you, like a dust scorn swallowing up the sky or a comet skimming the stratosphere. But it is an honor to love you. Like the snow drifts giving way to spring, I will hold you for as long as I can.\u201d \u2014 Lang Leav<\/p>\n \u201cMy mother once said to me; there are two kinds of men you\u2019ll meet. The first will give you the life you want and the second will give you the love you desire. If you\u2019re one of the lucky few, you will find both in the one person. But if you ever find yourself having to choose between the two, then always choose love.\u201d \u2014 Lang Leav<\/p>\n \u201cSoul Mates<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know how you are so familiar to me\u2014or why it feels less like I am getting to know you and more as though I am remembering who you are. How every smile, every whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that I have known you before, I have loved you before\u2014in another time, a different place, some other existence.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2015 Lang Leav<\/p>\n \u201cBefore I fell \u201cThis is where our love is found, in a strange little rhyme; where in space the beat of our hearts resound, while our bones lie in the ground. Little fragments ground down with time, where fingers once were intertwined, and I wore your ring, and you wore mine.\u201d \u2014 Lang Leav<\/p>\n \u201cIt was how we began. Your mouth against mine, your fingers tracing along the back of my neck. You asked me to imagine what it must have been like, for the first two people who fell in love; before the word love was conceived. You said it felt that for you. Like we existed in a time before love \u2013 as though we were waiting for the word to catch up to the feeling.\u201d \u2014 Lang Leav<\/p>\n \u201cSouls” Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand This is the reason why you miss someone so much when they \u201cI had my first dream about you last night. What was it like to love him? Asked Gratitude. \u201cIf I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be this: There are many things in life you can postpone, but love isn\u2019t one of them.\u201d \u2014 Lang Leav<\/p>\n

\nWhen two souls fall in love, there is nothing else but the
\nyearning to be close to the other. The presence that is felt
\nthrough a hand held, a voice heard, or a smile seen.<\/p>\n
\nthe notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to
\nbe with one another.<\/p>\n
\nare not there\u2014 even if they are only in the very next room.
\nYour soul only feels their absence\u2014 it doesn\u2019t realize the
\nseparation is temporary.\u201d

\nReally? She smiles. What was it about?
\nI don’t remember exactly but the whole time I was dreaming, I knew you were mine.\u201d

\nIt was like being exhumed, I answered, and brought to life in a flash of brilliance.
\nWhat was it like to be loved in return? Asked Joy.
\nIt was like being seen after a perpetual darkness, I replied. To be heard after a lifetime of silence.
\nWhat was it like to lose him? Asked Sorrow. There was a long pause before I responded:
\nIt was like hearing every goodbye ever said to me\u2014said all at once.\u201d -Lang Leav<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
