Dreams Quote by Cassandra Clare
““When you love someone, the become a part of who you are. They are in everything you do. They are in air you breathe and the water you drink and the blood in your veins. Their touch stays in your skin and their voice stays in your ears and their thoughts stays in your mind. You know their dreams because their nightmares pierce your heart and their good dreams are your dreams too. And you don't think they are perfect, but you know their flaws, the deep-down truth of them, and the shadows of all their secrets, and they don't frighten you away; in fact you love them more for it, because you don't want perfect. You want them.””
