Pretend Quotes

“You are the color in my black-and-white world. You are the single rose in a field full of them. You are the one notorious star in a sky full of them. You are the one soul I seek in a world full of them. Even if you can’t see your worth, I see it. If you can’t see the impact you have on me and everyone around you, I feel it.

It is limitless, infinite, and unbreakable.”
