Believing in Love

I never used to believe in love. I never believed in the heartbreak, the sadness, the hopelessness. I always thought the happiness was irrational and unexplainable.

I never believed that two people could stay in love forever and not get tired of each other. As someone who constantly fell in and out of love, I can speak for all the people who have felt this way.

I never believed in taking chances. I always thought that chances were the most idiotic things in the world. What good does a risk do if they don't work out in the end? Not much.

I never believed in life so blissful that it could be taken lightly. I never believed that I could laugh with the same person and still feel like I'm flying.

Now that's changed.

I believe in taking all the risks in the world. I feel like I can do anything, no matter how irrational, because you're there. I know that if I fail, you can help me restart things again.

I believe two people can stay together for as long as we have. I'm confident that you won't leave me. I haven't been in love with anyone else since I met you.

I now believe in life so blissful, that with one simple touch from you, all the horrors in the world seem so distant. All those bodies I examine feel so far away and so unimportant compared to you.

I believe in love, my Jane.
