If only I had known...

Things do get better.

The people you care about will always remember that. They will do as much as they can to see you happy. The people you knew you could always count on will be there for you, no matter where you are. The tears you shed will dry - and your smiles will feel amazing. The times you wish would last forever still do, and everyone knows it. Falling in love doesn't just mean finding someone you think works for you, it's the unusual ability you have to work for them too. Family isn't only the blood running through you, it's also the blood shed for you. Friends don't let friends cry, but good friends make you laugh until you do. Memories last as long as you wish if you're willing to remember them. When someone you care about speaks to you, the words enter your mind and touch your heart. It's a fact of life that very few remember the good things that you've done and never forget the bad things. It's also a fact of life that the people you care about will love you no matter what you've done. If you tell someone you love them, they'll never forget it. If you tell someone you hate them, they'll never forget you. If you pretend you care about someone, they will see right through you. If you pretend you don't, they know you'll change your ways soon. When the going gets tough, hug someone - that feeling will motivate you to get through anything. You know you love someone when your first thought is not how happy they make you, but how happy you could make them.

That's how I feel about you. You make me want to make you happy. And I'd never want to do anything else...
