She refused to provide any sort of security for a man who lacked confidence in the world. She didn’t want to be the supporting role for another story, because she was too busy being the protagonist of her own.

She preferred stimulating conversations when the hours have grown well-past midnight and when souls become vulnerable, rather than hurried nights of false love. Besides, she was already in love with herself — a rarity in most people. She didn’t waste her time with anything or anyone that didn’t move her. She brushed away countless offers to be saved.

She didn’t need any saving.
The ones who wanted to save her only wanted to save themselves.

To others, she was dead and cold. But she was actually alive, burning with flames of passion. Others didn’t understand, and she didn’t expect them to.

To her, they were only blinded by the idea that you needed someone else in order to really taste life.

I found that almost everyone around me was wondering what the hell they were doing with their life; questioning whether or not they were on the right path. People tend to think they’re the only ones lost in the whole god ****** world, but everyone feels lost at some point in his or her life.

sometimes only for a while,
and sometimes forever.

Do you know that feeling when you sense that there’s some sort of chance that you would connect with someone really well? You see a person and you just get this intense, weird feeling. It’s a feeling that you really can’t explain in words. You just kind of see them and you want to get to know them. But you don’t say or do anything at all. You just let the chance slip by and then they’re gone. That feeling often lingers. Quietly.

Sometimes I wish it were easier for us to express ourselves, or just to walk up to a person and let them know, “Hey. I don’t know you and you don’t know me. It’s something I can’t really explain, but for some reason, I just have this feeling inside of me that wants to get to know you. And if I don’t, I’d probably be missing out on something great."

You have only fallen in love with the idea of her. And I assure you that if you had the chance to peer deep down inside her mind and unravel the depths of her heart, you will only leave disappointed. That is why you must clear your mind of judgment and allow her to fill in the blanks for you.

You’re simply admiring the cover of the book. You don’t know the story yet — you only have ideas of what it may entail. Far beyond what you see lays the chance of pure disappointment and the loss of a beautiful opportunity. Are you willing to take the risk?

But perhaps it is better for you to stay in love with the idea, because the idea may be far greater than what reality has in store for you. Then again, what if she is able to surpass what your mind has composed, and knocks you right off your feet, falling head over heels? What if she ends up fulfilling everything and more than what your heart desires?

That's highly unlikely, but you can give it a shot anyway.
