About This Quote
We love so hard that we’re able to pretend it away, or ignore it, or tell ourselves we’re imagining it. Because it is the most painful kind of hope there is. And when you love that much you have to wonder if you’re just imagining it. You can’t control whether or not someone loves you, but you can control whether or not they love themselves enough to make you happy
