“I wanted to tell you that you looked beautiful because you are. I knew I wouldn’t miss you when you walked in tonight because you’re you. You’re so physically enthralling, let alone when you speak. And when you speak, all of the light in the room comes from you. You’re absolute sunshine and spring.
“I’ll buy you flowers every day for the rest of my life if it makes you this happy.”
“I want to be noticed in a crowded room. I want to be the only person in a crowded room. I want to be wanted, truly wanted, and desired. I want to laugh and to sing and to dance with someone and not feel self-conscious over it because I love them and I’m confident that they love me. I want to be touched and kissed and held because I’ve forgotten what it feels like … and yet, I think I deserve it.”
You’re spring, baby. You’re more radiant than flowers and the sun and no one can take that away from you.”
“I’m so grateful for everything I have in life, I am. But when I see you, all I can think about is how much better life would be if you were mine. I’m so infatuated with everything you do, from the color of your lips to the way you slide your hips back and forth when you dance to the way you twist your earrings when you’re upset or how you blush when I touch you and how you breathe when I say Daisy.”
“A lot can happen in a year,” I echoed his past statement. He winced. “That’s not fair. That was before I knew how you felt. Before I knew I could fly out to see you, and send you letters, and call you every day and tell you that I love you.”
He smiled back. “Say you love me,” he murmured against my lips. Without a second thought, I said, “I love you.”
“Because when you find out the person you’ve been in love with for your entire life loves you back, you’ll spend the rest of your life making up for lost time.”
