Love never ever leaves you. It’s always going to be dancing around you. It’s going to warm you up even when you feel like you’re going to be cold forever. It is gentle and all encompassing. It is soft to touch and it will always remind you of its existence, through humans, through nature. There is lots and lots of love around you, don’t forget to see it
