Just shut the **** up and look at your lover.

Appreciate all of who they are for putting up with you, because you aren’t going to find another.

Don’t question their feelings for you, otherwise they would be somewhere else doing something without you.

Stop worrying about the future, because it hasn’t happened yet; no expectations, no disappointment. It’s unnecessary.

Look at your lover, don’t say a word, and just examine every single aspect of 
them.

Study the hairs on their head, to the pupils on their eyes, the bridge of their nose, and the outline of their lips.

The length of their neck, the shape of their shoulders, the definition of their collar bones, and the skin on their chest.

Love their insides, as much as you love the out. Kiss your lover. Close your eyes, and hug your lover.

Don’t force yourself to understand what you don’t know, just accept and be grateful for the idea that you are loved back by someone whom you look up to.

If they love you, love yourself. For someone to appreciate you for all of who you are. Don’t question why, but see that you should appreciate yourself too; the feeling should reciprocate.

What is there to be jealous of? Who is there to be jealous of? Why is there even a reason to be jealous?

Intertwine your fingers with your lover. Take in this moment, for it can’t be taken back. Breathe, smile, but stay quiet. Hear their heartbeat, and feel their breathe; seeing that another life, another human being is connecting and living well with you. Feel each other’s body heat.

I lesson I have learned is to stop looking back and looking ahead. I have learned to **** the bad vibes that are a cause of worry, expectation, hope, and self-hate.

I have learned that the moment you have now is all that will matter from then on.

This is a lesson I have learned.
