You remember your first love because they show you, 

prove to you, that you can love and be loved, 

that nothing in this world is deserved except for love, 

that love is both how you become a person, and why.

-John Green-Turtles All the Way Down

Spellbound

The night is darkening round me,

The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.

The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow.
And the storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go.

Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.

-Emily Bronte
