There is always one person you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of these lovable qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable. The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else, and they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really, want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else.

How to love
See I want you to know
That you deserve the best
You’re beautilful
I want you to know
You’re far from the usual.
Alfred de Musset
Je suis perdu, vois-tu.
Je suis noyé,
Inondé d’amour;
Je ne sais plus si je vis,
Si je mange,
Si je respire,
Si je parle.
Je sais que je t’aime.
Please, don’t leave me…
How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I always say how I don’t need you,
But it’s always gonna come right back to this.
Please, don’t leave me…
Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
It’s not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love.
—Laura Marling
