About This Quote
When you are given the chance to see someone you love, would you stop to consider that they could be smiling and running into your arms? This quote speaks to how much we take for granted. You see someone you love but instead of asking them what they think of the view, you assume that it is the same as yours. The simple truth is, your world would be different if they were smiling and running towards you.
