A simple little kind of free.

The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of them all.

One day, he’s going to know.

He’ll know your birthday, your middle name, where you were born, your star sign, and your parents names.

He’ll know how old you were when you learned to ride a bike, how your grandparents passed away, how many pets you had, and how much you hated going to school.

He’ll know your eye colour, your scars, your freckles, your laugh lines and your birth marks. He’ll know your favourite book, movie, candy, food, pair of shoes, colour, and song.

He’s going to know why you’re awake at 5am most nights, where you were when you realised you’d lost a good friend, why you picked up the razor and how you managed to put it down before things went too far.

He’s going to know your phobias, your dreams, your fears, your wishes, and your worries. He’s going to know about your first heartbreak, your dream wedding, and your problems with your parents.

He’ll know your strengths, weaknesses, laziness, energy, and your mixed emotions.

He’s going to know about your love for mayonnaise, your dream of being famous when you were five, your need to quote any film you know all the way through, and your fear of growing older.

He’ll know your bad habits, your mannerisms, your stroppy pout, your facial expressions, and your laugh like it’s his favourite song.

The way you chew, drink, walk, sleep, fidget and kiss.

He’s going to know that you’ve already picked out wedding flowers, baby names, tiles for the bathroom, bridesmaid dresses, and the colour of your bedroom walls.

He’s going to know, get annoyed at and then accept that you leave clothes everywhere, take twenty minutes to order a Starbucks, have to organise your DVD’s alphabetically, and check your horoscope… just in case.

He’ll know your McDonald’s order, how many sugars to put in your tea, how many scoops of ice cream you want, and that you need your sandwiches cut into triangles.

He’s going to know how you feel without you telling him, that you need a wee from a look on your face, and that you’re crying without shedding tears.

He’s going to know all of it.

Everything.

You, from top to bottom and inside out. From learning, from sharing, from listening, from watching.

He’s going to know every single thing there is to know, and you know what else?

He is still going to love you.

I beg you, do not be unchangeable:
Do not believe that you alone can be right.
The man who thinks that,
The man that maintains that he has the power
To reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul–
A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.

—Sophocles

she was made of all complicated things, but she always had a simplicity in the way she laughed. and that is all she ever wanted, for someone to understand her while she was out making sense of her soul and the handful of flowers blooming from the top of her skull.

And just like that he picked her up and dusted her off. Without even trying. That’s how their love was. When she was at her worst, he saw her at her best.
