“Life moves too quickly,” he says. “I don’t want to speed through a single moment. Not anymore.”
“One day at a time then.”

The perseverance to do anything, to be anything. To thrive.
Someday, that word will belong to us too. After years of coming up short, it’s all I’ve ever wanted.

Our love is rare. It’s one I can’t abandon, even if I tried. When she screams, an identical one rips through me. When she cries, my world rains with grief. When she loves, I truly, truly fly.

But by our childhood. Souls fused together from the very, very start.

“We’re going to have our happy ending. It’s just going to take us a little while to get there.”

People make mistakes every day, some small and some big

That would be the perfect life.
Not good or bad.
Just complex.
