everything

it’s everything.

it’s just-

there are no words that we humans have created that will adequately encompass falling in love for the first time.

the closest thing we have are butterflies, the idea of falling head over heels, the world gaining colour, and all those cliches.

but really, it’s not the same thing.

being in love is painful and so cruel, it’s unrelentingly kind and sickly sweet like honey. it’s dancing in the rain and then dealing with the squelching of shoes after. it’s eating candy until your stomach hurts, and laughing loudly in public more than you should.

it’s utterly everything.
