I want you to want me because you want me, not because of grief, not because he is not here. I want you to love me for me. I want you to kiss me first and not because you need me to help you, but because you need to kiss me. Carrie Jones
About This Quote

The last thing I want is for you to be with me because you feel obligated to be with someone or because their absence makes you sad. I want you to want me for me. I want you to kiss me first and not because you need me to help you, but because you need to kiss me. The person who loves another loves from the heart, because they see a reflection of their own soul. It’s not about their partner at all, it’s about them loving themselves and loving the other as a reflection of their own soul.
