I think I was just overly excitable about it because I loved him in a way I'd never thought possible. I knew that if I lost him, if I had to live without him, it would crush me. I needed him and I didn't just need him now, I needed him in the future. I needed him always. I wanted him always. I wanted him to be the father of my children. It's such a silly statement now; people say it all the time, they throw it around like it's nothing. And some people treat it like it is nothing, but it wasn't nothing to me. I wanted to have children with him someday. I wanted to be a parent with him. I wanted to have a child that was half him and half me. I wanted to commit to him and sacrifice for him. I wanted to lose part of myself in order to gain some of him. I wanted to marry him. So I wanted him to have meant it. I wanted it to be real. .Taylor Jenkins Reid
About This Quote
The feeling of love is such an intense feeling that it can cause people to give up their lives for someone they care about. The idea of giving up a part of yourself to be with the person you love is so overwhelming that many people may feel like they are losing themselves in the process. We all know what it is to lose a part of yourself and to feel like you have wasted the best years of your life trying to find it again. However, when we find that special person we want them to mean it when they say that they love us and we want it to be real.
