The Stars are on Our Side

by Jennifer Hartmann

“Time spent loving another is never time wasted. In fact, I’m apt to believe it’s the only time that truly matters in this life.”

“If there had been, perhaps I would have told you that, no, it is not the same, but no love is ever the same. It’s up to you to decide if your love is worth all of the harrowing moments you may suffer as a result of it.”

I’m alone because I haven’t been able to look at anyone but you since you stepped through my front door eight months ago.

She is so fucking worth it.

That moment had felt a lot like love. And so does this one.

“I’ll take your leftover pieces. I’ll cherish those pieces. And I’ll spend my whole damn life doing everything in my power to make your heart whole again.”

“I think, sometimes, the things that frighten us become more bearable when you don’t have to face them alone.”
