You reminded me that life is more than just living.
You showed me that people can surprise you, in the most magical of ways (even if you don’t approve of the terminology of magic).
When you kissed me the first time- I was so surprised that I just giggled, because I was excited and nervous and I kind of forgot how to be a person for a minute.
You scared me because you wanted to be close to me- and because I wanted to be so close to you, too.
You think and you sing and you write and you look at me like I could be enough.  (Even though I know I’m not living my life for other people.)
You inspired me to be something more than just someone going about their daily business mindlessly.
I know now that you can’t be anywhere but where you are. Where else could we be?
You taught me that dreams are good- but only if you’re going to do something about them.
You made me think about everything- about the way the world works. And
I’ve never loved anything more.
