Attempted Love

“Soulmates aren’t the ones who make you happiest, no. They’re instead the ones who make you feel the most. Burning edges and scars and stars. Old pains and pangs, captivation and beauty.  Strain and shadows and worry and yearning.  Sweetness and madness and dreamlike surrender. They hurl you into the abyss. They taste like hope.
