It’s risky, falling in love.“ “I know that,” I answered. “I’ve been in love before. It’s like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day, you want more. You’re not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minutes, and forget them for three hours. "But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he’s not there, you feel like an addict who can’t get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you’re willing to do anything for love.

Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept: A Novel of Forgiveness (via ohteenscanrelate)

Only once in your lifetime will you meet someone who challenges you in a way you never thought was possible. This person will never be perfect, because perfection does not exist. However, they will light a flame within you and continue to make sure it burns even in the darkest of times. They don’t always express how they feel, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t. You fall for them in the silence of their existence. In their ability to say so many things without uttering a word. The beautiful thing about your bond is that you both know the universe conspired together in order to connect your two souls.

“When connections are real, they simply never die. They can be buried, or ignored, or walked away from but never broken. If you’ve deeply resonated with another person or place, the connection remains despite any distance, time, situation, lack of presence, or circumstance.”
