When you love someone, you love her in every way. 
You love their curious insecurities. You love their faults whether they’re like yours or not… even if she feels like a silhouette.
You love the way they walk, whether it’s toward you or not
When they laugh then you laugh because you want share them, and when they stare at you then you stare back because you want to take every detail in.
When you love someone, you get mad at her. You get hurt. You hurt them as well and if you love them so much you try to heal those senseless scars. You try to make them feel better about everything and anything. You make them feel more precious.
When you love someone, you don’t just give up on her. It gets harder each day because then you love them and no matter how awkward it is, you stay loving them because it is still harder without them.
When you love someone, you wonder whether they have eaten, they went home safely, whether they are feeling good about themselves.
When you love someone, you want them to be happy, grateful that one of you has their claws on right.
When you love someone, you hold them as long as they want to be held.
When you love someone, you know it is frightening and exciting.
