Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete
BUiLT TO BURN ╱ apply-fiction
"You show up day after night with no purpose than to see me. You do understand the consequences your actions bear, do you not?" Love, humanity's greatest gift and greatest curse. Whether to cherish it or to discard it is in the beholder's choice. But an unspoken rule whispers a warning to those who play its game: you love your own, your kin, they whom you live among. Once your adoration reaches for what it mustn't, it becomes sin; it devours the soul, it ravages the mind, and leaves nothing but devastation in its wake. "But I don't believe you've ever denied me the opportunity, Castiel. And you do understand the consequences of your actions, don't you?"
