“radiance And Love Just Surge Out Of Me Like The Sun.”

Imagine having someone miss you, yearn for your presence. They think of you so fondly, find pieces of you hidden in their favourite novels, and tucked away inside the prettiest songs. To them, you are the dark and comforting embrace of a storm, the gentle caress of a dream. A friend, a lover, whomever they may be, they make you understand the word ‘love’.

“How often do I lull my rebellious blood to rest, for you cannot imagine anything so erratic, so restless as my heart.”

— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther (via theclassicsreader)
