“Time of meeting,
time of parting,
winds fade and
flowers wait.

Time drug until we met,
even more in parting,
Spring winds fade,
but the flowers are waiting.”

“I didn't fall in love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe we are only fated to do the things that we'd choose anyway. And I'd choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you”
― Kiersten White, The Chaos of Stars
