“Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call, go after her because that’s what you should do if you love someone
don’t wait for them to give you a sign cause it might never come
don’t let people happen to you, don’t let me happen to you, or her
she’s not a fucking television show or tornado.
There are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning
because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this
and I always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest
and making someone fall in love with you is easy
and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do.
Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really.”
