i. A part of me is scared how much I care about you. A much larger part of me is the happiest it's ever been. ii. You are seven inches taller and seventeen months older, and still, all I want to do is protect you with everything I have and everything I am. iii. There is nothing I love more than the feeling of your laughter against my chest. iv. You were my first journey into uncharted waters, and it's like I've been on an adventure ever since. v. It's difficult to sleep when I'm with you, but ****, it's impossible without you. vi. I can't bring myself to wash the smell of you from my pillowcase. vii. Your skin feels more like home than my own. viii. How do you make me feel so ******* special? ix. Maybe it's the way you look at me as if you can't believe your eyes. Or the way you breathe my name like a godforsaken prayer. x. Thoughts of you are the reason I don't get angry at couples on the street anymore and can't stop smiling in the middle of the day. xi. My life has been a series of endless mistakes, but I guess I must've done something right to deserve you. xii. 168 hours and I feel like I've known you forever. xiii. I wish I could have known you forever. xiv. I promised myself a long time ago that I would never unlock my heart for anyone. But your body fits against mine like a master key and now there's no way to shut you out.
