“You are everything I know about love”

“My love for you is fundamental to who I am. It’s deep in my bones. A sonnet written in the marrow.”

“I didn’t think I could survive watching you marry another man, but I knew I would if that was what made you happy.”

“My body is elastic, stretching and bending to touch as much of George as possible. My mind is at peace.”

“I like who I am when I’m with you. I’m still me, but I can also see a bigger version of myself…. When I’m with you, the world seems to hold so many possibilities. I used to think that it was because I love competing with you, but that’s not it. You’re this unstoppable force and you make me feel invincible too. I feel more alive when I’m with you.”

“Nobody’s going to give you an award for ticking off all the boxes you think you should’ve checked.”
