Just because we weren’t ready for each other then, doesn’t mean we never will be.

It’s not over if he’s still on my mind.

We tend to underestimate the significance of our encounters with each other.

We disregard a door held open for us or a passerby who stops us to ask for directions.

If it makes you feel something, it matters.

I didnt believe in past lives, but I swear I knew him in another one.

It was like I recognized his face from a place I knew but didnt know.

But we were young, too young, and neither of us was ready.

Of course, we tried.

It was as if the universe was tempting us with something so beautiful, but just out of reach.

Whats ironic is that he had no idea I thought about him every day.

It isnt the end of the story if you havent read all of the pages.

This was the hope that I held onto through the longest months of my life.

He got away because timing is everything.

But just because we werent ready for each other then, doesnt mean we never will be.

Its not over if hes still on my mind.

Our lives are a series of stories.

Every page is significant.

If you skip one, things start to not make as much sense.

If something is special to you, it is worth fighting for.

Maybe theres still something left to be uncovered, a lesson to be learned.

Maybe youre their lesson.

So if you think they might be the one, do not give up on them.

Maybe they will lead you to the actual one.

Whatever the outcome may be, its worth waiting for them.
