"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful." - A Walk to Remember
As beautiful as I find that saying it makes no sense to me when I think of the person I fell in love with. We yell at each other, we grow impatient without each others attitudes and responses.
We're both extremely jealous of friends the other has. I am the most conceited person on the face of this earth and he is boastful about his abilities.
We can be rude to each other, and make each other cry and get frustrated. We are selfish, because we believe that we are right. We offend each other and we are most definitely resentful.
So why am I deeply in love with this person?
Because he makes me smile. He hugs me when I don't even know I need it. Because he has sweet words and advice and listens when I talk. Because he's there through and through, good and bad.
Because we can joke around and laugh at dumb moments, because when I lay on my bed with him I know I want to fall asleep like that forever. Because when texts me my heart jumps a little and I smile. Because he makes me laugh and feel good, and forget the bad parts.
Because sitting on the beach watching the sunset with him, I couldn't help but think "Years from now I'm going to remember being sixteen and in love". Because he cares about people and has a melting heart.
Because his definition of a "manly movie" is "Horton Hears a Who" and any moment with him easily turns so deliciously sweet.
No the quote may be wrong about our type of love, but I think I like my type better. So much sillier, but so much more fun.
"Our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I sure can feel it." -A Walk to Remember.
