I want to matter so much to someone that it hurts them when I hurt, my absence is felt as a keening loss, and my hopes are his hopes. I want to have every breath I take matter, every smile I make lighten his heart. I want to matter that much to someone else, and I want to care that much for someone.
I just felt like maybe saying it out loud would help.
I jump readily into caring about people. I'd have no trouble upholding my end of that deal.
I simply have never had anyone care about me as much as I'm willing to care about him, as much as I was happy to throw myself into it.
If I've ever said that I jump into things too quickly, I wasn't saying that I thought that was a bad thing. I think it's a positive, not a negative.
You cannot live or love too deeply.

I've done that, but it wasn't returned to me. Really stupid actually, I knew wasn't possible.
Well, I want that for you. Don't settle. You don't need to.
