"Go after her.
F.uck, don’t sit there and
wait for her to call, go after her because that’s what you
should do if you love someone, don’t wait for them to give
you a sign cause it might never come, don’t let people
happen to you, don’t let me happen to you, or her,
she’s not a f.ucking
television show or tornado. There are people I might have loved
had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me
or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to
tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and I
always thought I’d be the only one doing crazy things for
people who would never give enough of a f.uck to do it back or to act like idiots
or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in
love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice
because you can’t just sit there and do nothing and breathe
into telephones is not everyone’s idea of love but it is
the way I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream
it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful
and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is
raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth
anything, really."
