This is it..

The reason why you carry on.
Because even though you’ve had your heart broken so many times, over and over again, guy after guy or girl after girl, you find the strength to keep going.

It’s because when you find someone
At the supermarket
On the street
A friend of a friend
At your group of friends but you never noticed
On the bus, train, coffee shop, somewhere in the world,

For me, it was the day I looked at you in class,

and I knew that the butterflies in my tummy weren't from our basic ecology course....

When you find someone and your eyes crush, and your heart beats and your hands sweat and you don’t know what to say or what to do and you pray week after week just to be able to see that person again, time after time ’till you find the right amount of courage to just say hi, and say hi again, maybe have a conversation or just smile… I don't know how I could see you every day of school, all year, in my fifth hour biology, and then suddenly... I noticed. The way you smile. The way you dance to music, no matter what it was. The way you pucker your lips with that cute little smirk when you joke with people...

And that smile gives you butterflies.

In that moment when you realize that your ex? The one that broke your heart? That being is nothing when compared to this new person that you don’t even know but want to. Because you feel so much more with just one look that you felt in 2, 3, 4 months or years of kissing and touching. You need to know this person. Who might just be the one.

When small things make you the happiest person alive. When in truth, nothing else or no one else matters.

It’s called love. We all look for it and we all try again, even if our heart lies in pieces. We know there’s someone out there that can glue it. To perfection.

Yes, we have to be careful. The one who fixes your heart can break it too. And this time it is possible that no one can fix it.

You know this is the reason why you carry on

When you know it can hurt
But you take a leap of faith.

And you don’t care

All you see… is the chance to fall in love
