“For a long time, she held a special place in my heart. I kept this special place just for her, like a “Reserved” sign on a quiet corner table in a restaurant. Despite the fact that I was sure I’d never see her again.”

Haruki Murakami  South of the Border, West of the Sun

I love you Sophie, and I know you love me too.
You're just too scared right now, but I know that won't last forever and one day you'll let yourself love me.
I will miss you terribly until that day but i will take solace in knowing that when it comes, even if it's when you're one hundred and twenty I will see you again under the willow tree and that will be the happiest day of my eternal life.

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”

Bob Marley
