    We all have a room within us,
    in which we keep the things
    we have loved
    deeply,
    intensely,
    passionately,
    but lost forever.

    My room is full of you.
    Just you.

    When two souls fall in love, there is nothing else but the yearning to be close to the other. The presence that is felt through a hand held, a voice heard, or a smile seen.

    Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand the notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to be with one another.

    This is the reason why you miss someone so much when they are not there— even if they are only in the very next room. Your soul only feels their absence— it doesn’t realize the separation is temporary.

    Are you like me? Do you give too much, too quickly? Do you throw yourself blindly at the world, thinking it will always open its arms up to you?

    Every time you
    tell your daughter
    you yell at her
    out of love
    you teach her to confuse
    anger with kindness
    which seems like a good idea
    till she grows up to
    trust men who hurt her
    cause they look so much
    like you.

    Don't you look at what I had for you and call it weak.
    Not when you were the one afraid of it.
    I stood there with my hands open,
    my mouth bruised tender with supplication.
    Don't you dare treat me like a victim of my own emotions,
    like being moved to my knees by love
    was a mistake that I regret.
    I will go to my grave with the memory of the bravery in my bones.

    One day, whether you 
     are 14, 28 
     or 65 

    you will stumble upon 
    someone who will start 
    a fire in you that cannot die. 

    However, the saddest, 
     most awful truth 
     you will ever come to find–– 

     is they are not always 
    with whom we spend our lives.

This is your power. All those things that make you strange and different are what make you irreplaceable.

    The truth of it all is that you may not know what you deserve right this moment, and that is okay. You will grow to figure it out. Until then, just promise me that you will believe with merciless conviction, with ruthless certainty, that you do not deserve to be unhappy. Promise me you will believe that you mean something.
