Together they burn, caught in a forbidden longing.."

Like my mother said, joy didn’t require the absence of grief, and happiness wasn’t always found in the big moments. More often than not, they existed in small pockets of time like these—in a room with an adorable cat, the man I loved, and the knowledge that he loved me back.
⁀ ⊹ ₊ Because they were getting married. Because I saw her first. Because she was his when she should be mine.
⁀ ⊹ ₊ I’d survived decades without her, but now that I had her in my life, I couldn’t imagine living in her absence.
⁀ ⊹ ₊ “Kada te konačno budem poljubio, nećeš više nositi njegov prsten na ruci.”
⁀ ⊹ ₊ She was a wreck, but she was still so gorgeous she took my breath away.
⁀ ⊹ ₊ “Take off your ring.”
