I want to be your best friend.
I want to be your love.
I want to be someone you can trust.
Someone you miss.
Someone who can help you if you need help.
Someone who you let give to you.
I want to be your comfort, that someone out there will always love you whether you even think of them anymore.
That if in 20 years you are crying and call me up, I will be there to help you, no strings, no questions asked, no matter what you've done to me.
I want to be the one who would die for you.
And the one who will live for you.
Whether or not you even notice.
In the end, it really doesn't matter.
What matters is THAT I love you, and that everything in my life that I love will have something of you about it, to me.
And when I am far away,
In London looking at the old streets,
In India when I'm looking across the slums to the sparkling city beyond,
In Ireland when I stare at the sea from a moldering castle-
Wherever I am, whenever it is, I will think of you, and it will mean more to me because I knew you.
That's what I do, it's who I am.
I love the world through a conduit.
Through a person who has touched my soul.
And they get all mixed up, eventually, the two of them, until all the love I ever have, and had, and could have is for everything, all through one person who has changed me.
Every artist dedicates their work to something,
Every artist has their reason for the art they make.
And when you live your life as if it is art, you have to live it the way you do BECAUSE of something.
I will give you all I can, and ask nothing,
Because you exist and I can love the world by thinking of you.
The whole rose tinted glasses thing?
I know it means you see no flaws in the person you love, but it means something else, as well, to me.
Those who love the way I do see the whole world through how much they love,
And let me tell you,
THAT is why it is worth it.
Because the whole world is beautiful when you love someone like this.
