fuckyeahhlove:
After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and sharing a life and you learn that love doesn’t mean possession and company doesn’t mean security and loneliness is universal. And you learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises and you begin to…
