Love is everything, truly everything.

"You see, going the next step when it comes to love or feelings for each other is the bravest thing you can do. It is like giving the other one all of your armour. This is exactly what he did. But, with that, he also gave you the power to hurt him. And you, by not being where you should have been, took just that.

The thing is, you cannot prepare yourself for such an emotionally charged moment. Not for any of it. Not for what you would say to him. Not for how you would react to seeing him. And, especially, not for how you will have to cope in the aftermath that will follow a meeting. 
​
So, stop being so frightened. You cannot mess up anything that is meant for you! Go and embrace that journey with all you are. Both of you are conscientious and careful enough that everything will be enfolding exactly as it is supposed to, even though you cannot see it just yet."
