Love and Pity

If you tell me that I love too deeply as though it is a flaw, I cannot possibly be upset.

I can only pity you, because there is no such thing as loving someone else too deeply—and perhaps you have simply never had the chance to love someone enough. Perhaps you are not even capable of such a thing. Perhaps your heart, which seems to see love as a weakness, just cannot ever commit itself entirely, and for that I pity you.

To be able to love another human being with the entirety of your heart is a wonderful blessing—a lovely gift that I shan't ever let go of. With me, there is no loving you halfway. If I love you, you will be everything to me. And love shouldn't be any other way.

If you've never loved someone until your chest was in pain, or been prepared to die for them, or continued living only for the sake of the one you love; if you've never been convinced that your heart would've stopped long ago had it not been for one person (or maybe more) who kept it going; if you've never felt that you could go to the ends of the earth for anyone, then you're living and loving wrong. And for that, I pity you, because you've never experienced a very glorious feeling—you do not know what it feels like for your heart to be full to the very brim.
