An open love letter to the bravest souls on
planet earth,
To anyone who’s ever crossed oceans for
love. To anyone who’s ever faked a love of fine art, or quick-crammed knowledge
of ancient Rome or spent more money than they had to spend for love. To anyone
who’s ever agreed to a new home, a new culture, a new way of life and a new
skyline for love. To anyone who’s ever promised, “I’ll wait for you”, who’s
ever lost a presence and gained a pen pal, who’s ever waited by the phone for
love. To anyone who’s ever granted a second (third, fourth, fifth) chance,
who’s learnt to forgive or just to forget. Who’s learnt to trust again, for
love. I salute you. I hope they made it worth it. I pray they gave you all that
you deserve. Because you gave it to them. Because love is a risk worth taking.
Because only the people crazy enough to
believe that love exists, are the ones who find it at home in their hearts.
