replace fear of the unknown with curiosity

19. UVM. Cancer/Leo.

I look to my hands to count how everything could be worse, but I look to the night sky to count every way they could be better.

I’m so glad that the Universe allowed for our souls to stumble upon each other - our bruised, worn-out, and wary souls that were convinced that they’ve lost their capability to feel entirely. For the longest time, my mind’s been on autopilot and my heart’s been uncomfortably numb.

Something in our kiss, however, made a spark. Not enough to light the chasm of uncertainty, but enough to remind me that my emptiness existed and - more importantly - could be filled. I’m learning again what it means to care for someone, and to discover what makes someone like you so precious. Slowly, but surely, I felt the haystacks of passion in me being rekindled - burning just a little brighter every passing day.

Everybody DOES love somebody sometime, and somehow, you fell in love with me quicker than I caught my breath when you first kissed me. God, we were lucky. To this very day, I still think to myself: if our timing happened to be off by even the slightest nanosecond, we would have never came to be. I would have never found love in your arms, nor would I have had the privilege to hear a laughter as beautiful as yours. And most importantly, I would’ve never remembered how wonderful it is to love, and feel loved.
