“What we had went so much deeper than a kiss. When we were together, she turned me completely inside out. It didn’t matter if we were dead or alive. We could never be kept apart. There were some things more powerful than worlds or universes. She was my world, as much as I was hers. What we had, we knew. The poems are all wrong. It’s a bang, a really big bang. Not a whimper. And sometimes gold can stay. Anybody who’s ever been in love can tell you that.” –pg. 421 of Beautiful Redemption by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.
And didn't you know That this is how I've always felt about you, And my most fantastic dream Wasn't a type of fairy tale *******, It was laughing and working through problems. It was my understanding you And you understanding me, And it astounds me That even at the worst We've found it.
And nothing can keep me from you, Because red strings don't work like that. I am meant to be yours Just as you're meant to be mine.
No one can ever Tell me otherwise.
Let there be worlds between us, Let there be trials and tribulations Of the most dangerous and detrimental kind, And I promise I will find you, Each and every time.
Because you don't just walk away from someone, Love isn't about the times when keeping on is easy-- It's about when it's the hardest thing to do. And I will do it, Through and through.
The quote is from Beautiful Redemption, the last book in the Caster Chronicles. That quote seems a little more relevant each and every day.
I miss you, Bluebird. I hope you're having a good night. Three weeks.
