There is a myth that says " brown eyes used to shine like the moon; so to hide their charm they were coloured by the river of heaven's honey ".

I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

you deserve a calm love that's patient, caring & considerate. someone who never let's you sleep with a heavy heart or makes you question their loyalty. someone who motivates, supports and celebrates you. someone who makes promises and keeps them. A love you never have to heal from.

a question for todd anderson
Have you ever given someone a Valentine?
He made something for Neil. It took a lot of effort, but eventually he had something close to his heart, laid out there on two or three pages, depending on how you looked at it. He'd never been good at making things, or drawing hearts, so Todd wrote a poem and grew flowers, behind a rocky overlook, something for a flower crown when Valentine's day rolled around. He wasn't thinking about the way the winter frost would kill the daisy sprigs. Neil was the first boy Todd had loved and he wanted to make it special. Todd didn't know if Neil had ever received a Valentine before - he was sure he had, he's not exactly unattractive - but somehow he thought…maybe Neil would just like it because it was him. He didn't write in calligraphy because Neil said he liked Todd's handwriting. For once, he was actually excited that the day was coming, so he could - show that Neil mattered enough for him to honor the traditions, just to be with him.
Neil was not here when Valentine's Day came around.
