One
    I do not come with a warning label, but if I did, it would say: DAMAGED, but that doesn't mean I want you to fix me.
Two
    You will become my home. The place in which I come crying to late at night, the place that I will create the most fondest of memories, where I will make myself most comfortable, because home, as they say, is where the heart is.
Three
    It will not be easy.
Four
    Some days, I will prefer to lay in bed then leave the house. Other days, I will refuse for you to cook me a meal, because I am “not hungry.” But most days, I will not go a second without telling you, “I love you.”
Five
    I will not believe you when you tell me you love me. No matter how many times and how much meaning you put into that sentence, I will not believe you. Sometimes, I will not believe it when I say it myself.
Six
I’ve learned that when you say something over, and over, and over, again, it begins to lose its meaning. “I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.”
Seven
I hope you're the one
Eight
I am terrified that one day I won't be the one you wake up to in the morning
Nine
            The moment I see you with your new lover my body will tremble, my heart will sink, my stomach will churn, my hands will turn into fists, and I will ask myself, “Why didn't I just stick with women?”
