Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

One day you’ll walk past him and he’ll glance up automatically at the scent of your perfume. His gray eyes will follow your every move and he’ll get a wrinkle of confusion when you don’t look his way. And for once, you’ll barely notice him, but my god, he’ll notice you. 
For the first time in months, it will be his heart that feels heavy and hollow instead of yours.
