A part of me is clinging to it, willing the Brielle in the memory to open her eyes. I want to know the face of the man who kissed me as if he couldn’t breathe without my lips on his.

We started off as nothing and she became everything.

I want to drown in this kiss and never come up for air.

There’s you and there’s me, and I want you to kiss me. I want to kiss you. I want you to be the guy, Spencer, don’t you see that? You are the guy for me, right here, right now. When I’m with you, I’m safe and happy,” I breathe the last part.

I’m here, ready to cut the entire tree down, knowing that the temptation isn’t the apple, but you. Don’t you see, I’m the one who doesn’t deserve this moment.”

“I would lose everything for you.”

“I have loved you since before I knew what love was. I have dreamed of you since I knew what dreams were. You are the air I breathe. The beat of my heart. I love you so much that even the idea of losing this is too much for me to think about.”
