Is it possible to almost love someone? For example I say, "I don't love you, but I'm getting there, I promise I will meet your heart at the other side." Or is love a chemical reaction, when two hearts meet. I don't understand love.

We should call it something. There should be a word. The Precipice of Love.

“We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free.”

"So, you kiss him, and he doesn’t move, he doesn’tpull away, and you keep on kissing him. And he..."

“So, you kiss him, and he doesn’t move, he doesn’t

pull away, and you keep on kissing him. And he hasn’t moved,

he’s frozen, and you’ve kissed him, and he’ll never

forgive you, and maybe now he’ll never leave you alone.”

-  Richard Siken

“It’s still you. It’ll be you when you fracture your wrist at 4AM and call me when I have a presentation the next morning. It’ll be you when you ask to drive my new car and crash it into a telephone pole. It’ll be you if we hate each other for a day or a few. And if you break my favourite mug. And if you keep forgetting our anniversary and make it up to me by baking a salty cake. It’ll be you when your dad dies and you stop talking because you don’t know how. It’ll be you when you crawl softly into my open arms. It’ll be you when your mum calls me a “whore” and you jerk your chin and all you say is “no.” It’s you when you’re messy and ill and sweaty. You when you leave the house door unlocked. You when you burp drunkenly into my ear and curl into my side like a baby. It’ll be you when you burn breakfast in bed and then kiss me for five minutes straight. It’ll be you when your hair gets too long and you can’t be bothered to cut it. You when you fall asleep on the sofa with the cat on your chest. You when we fight and turn everything to rubble. You when you put your mouth to my ear and whisper “it’s you. It’s still you.””

can u answer the last ask about grammar? it's important. do me this favor xoxo

I’m not google! I don’t mean to be rude but why would you ask me when you have the entire internet at your fingertips? Please just look it up. And I don’t know the answer to your question, either. I’ve never been great with grammar.

Moving on isn't really moving on, is it?

It is when you can say “I don’t love you anymore” and mean it.
