To be loved is to be known.

“I brought you here, because I always catch your mesmerizing eyes glow upon seeing the sun set.”

“I bought this for you, ‘cause everytime you see the color pink, you get all bubbly.”

“You love this right?”

“Look, I took a picture of a cat i saw on the streets. It reminded me of how you always used to tell me you adore cats.”

“I stopped this bad habit of mine that you don’t like, though it’s hard for me to do so”

“Come here, you don’t have to say anything, I know you’re sad, let me comfort you”

Remembering, memorizing, and loving is more than enough.

Though, it may be a simple thing to do, and the least thing you can do in order to make someone feel loved. It simply speaks and flows the stem of loving.

  • To know isn’t just an “action” nor a “word”
  • To know is to simply tell someone that they’re deserving of the overflowing love that they’ve never received.

The smile and joy that over expands in their faces knowing they aren’t hard to love nor remember is more than what the world can offer.

Memorizing every thing they love, providing the joy the world kept from them, and loving them as they are. That is what makes it worth living, that’s what turns “surviving” into “living”

Turning the unknown to known is love.
