I’ve always said I don’t like people. Well that’s simply not true I don’t fall in love with their appearances. I like people based of personality and their perspective of the world around them. So you see. Somtimes we fall in love with ideas, not people....

Sometimes we fall in love with ideas, not people.

And maybe that's what I did with you.

I thought that maybe I could save you;

maybe I could free you from those chains I was in.

It never occurred to me that you chose that imprisonment

the idea of worshipping someone who abandoned this world.

weekly visits to a building full of prisoners just like yourself

begging for a ticket into a fic...

when i looked at you, i saw a whole story

so i tried to read you, but **all i read was the cover.**

you felt like page full of beautiful words

in an unknown language, that made me see it like a lover.

when i glanced at you, i fell in love with your body

it was with mine in loneliness, sweet dreams we embodied.

never speaking, only using the terms of the heart

never talking, just listening to the ...

Sometimes we fall in love,

with ideas and not people.

It’s so normal and so true that

after all that, we still stand regal.

A queen falls for a king,

with the crown and the fame.

A player falls for an innocent,

only for the sake of the game.

Some people like an idea,

but others like their souls.

Even though, sometimes,

for “love,” we find loopholes.

Frost shifts beside me, straightening from the willow bark. His gaze scorches the skin of my cheeks, watching, waiting for more to come… but there was nothing left for me to say without re-dampening the mood and now was the worst of times to choose to be curious, when we’d spent weeks on cautions ledge.

“You know,” He whispered. “I had someone like Milo, someone who seemed like the right choice,...

“‘Sometimes we fall in love with ideas, not people. I guess you fell in love with the idea of me. Not the reality of me.’”

I turn to my co-star and kiss her cheek before turning to walk away.

As soon as I get through the doors to the other side of the set, a voice rings out.

“Cut!”

Cole, my manager, trudges into the office, grumbling on the phone.

“Gianna, I’m sorry, but ...

“Sometimes we fall in love with ideas, not people.”

Della knows this. She’s heard it many times from Cove and from their mother.

“But for me, I fell in love with everything, the idea, the person, the everything.”

She may not be experienced in love, but she knows what it looks like.

Her mother and father. The Queen and the King of Allaver. They had an easy dynamic. A push and pull. When one s...

“Sometimes we fall in love with ideas, not people.” I remember you telling me this on the night I ran away. I ran to you, you who loved me like nobody else did. Not even my own family.

“What are you saying?” I’d asked, confused and weary from traveling all that way in the rain, with nothing but the clothes on my back.

“I mean you may have fallen in love with the idea of a happy family, and kep...

In the silence of solitude, hearts yearn for a beat,

To fill the void, they sketch dreams so sweet.

A lover's face, drawn from wishes and air,

A companion molded by longing, beyond compare.

In crowded rooms or quiet walks alone,

They conjure a presence, from the unknown.

A laugh, a touch, imagined so clear,

A mirage of intimacy, drawing near.

Yet, in this dance of shadows and light,

The heart ma...

Someone once told me

That sometimes we fall in love

With ideas 𝘯𝘰𝘵 people

Of course I didn’t mind them

Until I liked this guy

The same guy

For two years

I never realised

How rude or selfish he was

Until he moved and we lost contact

Now that he is gone

I can think clearly

And I soon realised

That I fell in love

With the idea of him

Not really him

Next time

I’ll make sure to listen
