This entry is for the girl whose face has launched, perhaps not a thousand ships, but many ships all the same. You know who you are, and you know what I'm talking about. I don't quite always know what to say, but I hope this entry helps you, my dear girl.

When you have to look away
When you don't have much to say
That's when I love you
I love you, just that way

To hear you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
That's when I love you
I love you, endlessly

And when you're mad cuz you lost a game
Forget I'm waiting in the rain
Baby I love you,
I love you anyway

Here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
That's when I love you
When nothing you do can change my mind

The more I learn, the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you,
When I love you no matter what

So when you turn to hide your eyes
Cause the movie made you cry
That's when I love you
I love you a little more each time

And when you can't quite match your clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
That's when I love you
I love you, more than you'll know

And when you forget that we had a date
Or that look that you get when you show up late
Baby I love you, I love you anyway
Heres my promise made tonight

You can count on me for life
That's when I love you
When nothing you do can change my mind

The more I learn, the more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
That's when I love you,
When I love you no matter what


I think this quite applies to you. Remember what you love about him?

There's this saying, "For every love out there, there is a heart to receive it." And I don't know, but to me, it seems as if you've found that heart. You yourself said it, he's the only one you can truly, truly be yourself in front of. It's more than the true physical appearance he sees, it's about the person you truly are that he sees, flaws and all. And he still loves you so ardently. I think that episode with the girl was enough to prove that. And a person like that doesn't come along every other day. In my very romantic, idealistic mindset, that sort of person who loves you for you, there's only one of him.

Like I said, there are many guys who can give you fairytales, all sorts of fairytales. But how long can they last? How many of those guys can stay with you through every trial and tribulation you go through? How many of them actually love you the way he loves you? How many of them actually truly understand your psyche?

Everyone wants a fairytale, but you know what? Leading our lives like a fairytale everyday, we're gonna lose out on every other aspect, perhaps the most important aspect. More than the material facades, more than that feeling of being protected, more than all of the things we read about in storybooks, love is more than all of that. This may sound stupid to you, because who am I to say all this, when I cannot claim to have felt love before, not in the romantic way, but this is what I believe. At the end of it all, love is when that person stays by your side even after the initial fairytale has passed, who still is brave enough to take on the tears, the pain, the fights, the quarrels, who doesn't only want the happy parts of relationships.

My favourite advice to give: Follow your heart. And that doesn't mean following your impulse. It doesn't mean giving in to what you desire. It means truly feeling with your heart, I don't know how else to say it.

I love you, because you're so strong for your friends, but you can be so frail when it comes to matters of the heart. That's why I'm going to be here every step of the way for you, and maybe there'll be times when you don't like the advice I give, but it's okay, just listen to it and make your own decisions, decide what is best. I don't want you to feel the pain alone, so talk to me anytime at all. My ears are always ready for you.
