Can a Brief Moment of Micromance Change Everything?

"I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you." - Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince.

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love." - Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus.

It hurts to let go, but sometimes it hurts more to hold on.

People think that intimacy is about sleeping together, but true intimacy goes far beyond the physical.

It's about sharing your deepest fears, insecurities and vulnerabilities with someone who embraces you without judgement.

Someone who holds your heart gently in their hands. Real intimacy is when you can open up your innermost thoughts, your pain, your past and your trauma to another person, knowing that they will listen with empathy and understanding.

It 's when you can reveal the broken pieces of your soul, and they respond with kindness and love. Intimacy is when you find a safe haven in someone's presence.

A place where you can be your authentic self, without fear and rejection. It's when you can stand in from of them stripped of pretenses, and reassure you with those magical words: "You're safe with me".

In a world where masks are often worn, true intimacy is a rare gem. It's a connection that transcends physical attraction, and delves deep into the essence of our humanity.

It's the bond that says: I see you for who you are, and I love you unconditionally.

So cherish those who offer you real intimacy, for they are the ones who will stand by your side through life's highs and lows, reminding you that you are never alone on this beautiful and sometimes challenging journey.

Hey love, I know you're feeling uneasy right now, and I just want to remind you how much you mean to me.

There’s no one else who can ever compare to you, and I’m so lucky to have you in my life.

Your heart, your trust, and your love are the only things that matter to me. I understand that emotions can run high, but you’re the one I choose every day, and that will never change. 💖

There’s something so natural about this connection between us, something I’m already feeling deep down.

It’s rare to find someone who sparks both excitement and peace at the same time.😊 It feels like we’re on the verge of something real, and I’m so ready to see where it leads.

With you, it’s easy to be myself, and I’m looking forward to the moments we’ll share as we get to know each other better.🤗

I don’t know what the future holds, but I know I’m happy to be starting this with you.

Looking forward to everything ahead. ❤️

I may not have all the right words to express how I truly feel about you. But I hope you know how thankful I am and how head over heels in love with you I am.

I don't care how far you live, or how long we have to be apart, one day we'll be together, and then nothing else will matter.

As long as I have your heart, I don't care if I have to wait years to start building our life.

You may be a thousand miles away, but you're the only one that ever crosses my mind.

You came into my life showing me so much grace. And a face like that, that's just something you could never replace.

I'm not open to many people, I'm usually quiet and I don't really like attention. So, if I like you enough to show you the real me, you must be very special.

I don't need a perfect relationship, I just need someone who is scared to lose me, respects my efforts and is proud to have me.

It's not about grand gestures or flawless moments it's about the small things. The everyday reassurance that I'm valued and cherished.
