    I'll no longer settle for the thought of being content with someone.
    I know this feeling all too well. I'm constantly fearing that I'll settle and miss out on my "Noah". And then there are times I think I already had him.........and will never have him again. Love.....such a confusing thing.

      You'd "know" if you had your Noah. You wouldn't think.

      And yes, it's annoyingly confusing. (Is annoyingly a word? lol)

        Three weeks. That's how long it took for me to really realize how real and passionate being "in" love is. I never would've believed it, and if I did, it was something I never expected to happen to me. While, we don't have a happily ever after (been broken up for some time now), I'll no longer settle for the thought of being content with someone.

          I always "knew" ....he did too........but it's hard now to say "know" when he's married to and has a child with someone else....even if I feel it. I don't want to believe that was my only chance. Know what I mean?

            Well... life is very unpredictable... if it really was him you will meet him again, be it in 5 or 10 years. If not, then he's still to be found...

            I know exactly what you mean...

              Mmm I know what you mean. At least you won't make his mistake, and settle.

              My heart goes out to you. But with the millions of people in the world, surely there's another.
