if you love someone, tell them

I'm in love with her, okay?


If you're looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want no matter how much it destroys you, It's love.


And when you love someone, you just, you don't stop. 

Ever.

Even when people roll their eyes and call you crazy. 

Even then. Especially then!


You just-- you don't give up because if I could give up...

If I could just, you know, take the whole world's advice and move on and find someone else...

That wouldn't be love!


That would be... that would be some other disposable thing.

That is not worth fighting for.


Can I ask you something?

- Yeah.


Why do nice people choose the wrong people to date?


We accept the love we think we deserve


True love is not real unless it is returned.

Do you agree?


I do not believe in love.

If we cease to believe in love, why would we want to live?


I want you to promise me something.

If you love someone, you tell them.

Even if you're scared that it's not the right thing.

Even if you're scared that it'll cause problems.

You say it, and you say it loud.

And then you go from there.


So it's not going to be easy, it's going to be really hard.

We're going to have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you.


But love is passion.

Obsession.

Someone you can't live without.


I say, fall head over heels.

Find someone who can love you like crazy and who'll love you in the same way back.


How do you find him? 

Well...

You forget your head and you listen to your heart.


The human race is filled with passion.

Medicine, law, business, engineering--

These are noble pursuits, necessary to sustain life.


But poetry, beauty, romance, love...

These are what we stay alive for.
