“Without sounding like a dog, I have had many women, yet none have caused a reaction in my libido and heart. When I see you or talk to you, I feel like everyone else pales in comparison. You cause me to stop, take notice, and make me want to remove the sadness lying dormant behind your eyes. The pain you have masked for the sake of everyone else. The hurt I’m capable of shouldering on your behalf. I’m strong enough to weather your pain and brave enough to wait for you to grant me permission to do so.”
