"there are different kinds of love, you know. there are those that appear out of thin air and turn your world upside down, and those that sneak around the corner when you least expect it. there are the ones that are compromises between two people who mutually benefit from such a relationship, and the ones where neither is willing to let go despite knowing it will never work, just because change is so, so hard.
"there are those where one of you is just too scared to say or think otherwise, because you haven't had such attention since you can remember. there are those that are revengeful, where you just want to get back at your past, because losing sucks and falling hurts. there are those that crash into you with an intensity inexplicable and blow up in your face not a week later. there are those that float quietly in the air and never really touch anything, because you don't want that time-consuming love, and just want the assurance of a stable future.
"and then there's the one that grows with you, that takes away the worst of you and gives back the best, the one that doesn't necessarily come with the fireworks and celebration. just quiet passion, dedication, trust. it wraps around you in the winter and flows with you in the summer breeze, cries with you and laughs for you, tickles you in bed and buries you in pillows. it isn't afraid to be silly with you in public, and is strong enough to share secrets in private.
"maybe it won't hold an umbrella for you in the pouring rain, but it might hold your hand and run with you, soaking wet and full of laughter. maybe it won't be there with you every waking moment, but it will be there when you most need it. maybe it won't guarantee a wonderful future, but it gives you a present beautiful enough for you to look forward to tomorrow. maybe it won't be a complete fairytale, but on some days you'd think you're happier than any princess ever was. maybe it won't be everything you've ever expected, but it will be just enough for you, regardless of what everyone else tells you. you know it's there even if you never say it out loud. that's the kind i want, i think."
