“But with every breath I had left, I will use it to love you. Because, Eden, I want this...You; I want you more than life, more than anything. There was a time when I didn't Himm I was string enough to face you again, or what is between us. I was too afraid of the heartache, of being shattered…” quote by Rachel Higginson

““But with every breath I had left, I will use it to love you. Because, Eden, I want this...You; I want you more than life, more than anything. There was a time when I didn't Himm I was string enough to face you again, or what is between us. I was too afraid of the heartache, of being shattered again. But now, it doesn't matter, nothing matters except you. I will take an eternity of hardship, of war or fighting my father, or anything, just to hold your love again. You are everything to me, my sun, my moon, the air I breathe. Nothing exists except you. I love you.””
