Oh, love

Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common-sense.
--Helen Rowland

Easier said than done, right? You just have to let it happen and stop thinking.  The more you think about it the harder it is, because you will start to find everything that is wrong with the idea, but you can't do that.  You just can't because nothing is perfect.  You have to hold onto the small, simple things that light up your day.  Like phone calls at 6 in the morning to say hello. As much as you didn't plan on waking up then, you know you like it.  It's a special call, just for you, just to remind you of the beauty of falling in love every morning.

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
--Erica Jong

I don't even know what to add to this.  I think this sums up about what I'm feeling right now.  When you know something is worth fighting for, you can't let go, you won't.  You just want the other person to believe it's worth fighting for too.  But sometimes they get scared, and don't know what to do. And sometimes they can't make a decision because they aren't sure which road to take.  And the two of you get stuck in limbo, feeling lost and confused and hurt until someone finally breaks the silence.  

Which is why I end with this:

If you love me, let me know. If not, please gently let me go.

Not knowing what the other person is thinking or feeling makes it hard to move on.  You need them to tell you what they are going through, and you need to be cut loose before you can stand on your own.
