She unabashedly throws her head back and lets out a sultry laugh. I make it a goal to make her laugh like that every single day for the rest of my life. She turns me into a sappy motherfucker who can’t help it around her, endlessly searching for ways to make her happy and satisfied. I gather up courage as the song continues because I want to let her know. Because I never want another day to go by without her hearing it. “I love you.” My voice rasps over the music.
