Navigating the darkness: The Profound depths of Love

We don't fall in love with people because they're good people. We fall in love with people whose darkness we recognize.

You can fall in love with a person for all of the right reasons, but that kind of love can still fall apart. But when you fall in love with a person because your monsters have found a home in them ... that's the kind of love that owns your skin and bones.

Love, I am convinced, is found in the darkness. It is the candle in the night. I will not have you without the darkness that hides within you. I will not let you have me without the madness that makes me. If our demons can not dance ... well then, neither can we.

When it's time for two souls to meet, there is nothing on earth that can prevent them from meeting. No matter where each may be located. When two hearts are meant for each other no distance is too far, no time is too long and no other love can break them apart.

We all have cracks and tears and shattered glass within our souls. Some have more than others. We do not wish to seek one who has none; but we wish to find the one who can say "look at me, look at this." We wish to find the one who sees every bit of broken glass and who will put those pieces into the palms of our hands and say "please keep them." And we wish to be that kind of person, too. This is how it should be.

I feel like a part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything. Maybe we are from the same star.
