Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket



You know when i said I knew little about love? That wasn't true, I know alot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it. And it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain. Lies. Hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way mankind love... You could search the far reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautifull. So yes I know that love is unconditional, but I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, and unbearable, and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I am trying to say is... I think i love you.

Is this love? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it. I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstartions of devotion. Nothing but knowing that you loved me too. Just your heart in exchange for mine.

I was going to write a review of the film, but i think this piece speaks more volumes about the films message then i ever could. This is from the end of the film, and Claire Danes's delivery gave me chills down my spine. I think that this speech best desccribes the way one feels when one is truely in love.
