“I love you, and it's not the kind of love that wavers. It's the scary kind that doesn't fade. I look at you, and I see not just everything I want for my life, but everything I am, because you took the emptiest, dark pits of my soul and filled them with you. You are as much part of me as my own heart, and it doesn't beat without you.”

“Because you are the one who made me realize I was fucking unhappy. Because with you, I think I can actually BE happy!”
― T.M. Frazier, King
