Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Woman.” I bend closer so she can see the sincerity on my face. “You’ve always been beautiful to me. Not because of how you look but because of who you are. Even when things were at their worst, it didn’t change how I saw you.” I reach out, grazing a thumb along her jawline. “You are strength and courage in a world that was falling apart. You’re the fire that warmed the coldest nights and the light in the darkest times. Your beauty isn’t just in your appearance. It’s in your spirit, your resilience.”
“Every time I looked at you, even when you were struggling, I saw the woman who challenged the wilderness with me, who fought through every day with a heart full of hope. Do you know how attractive that is? You’re hot as fuck, and I will keep saying it as long as I live because it’s the truth.”
“I’m a mess.” “Messy like a river crashing through the mountains. Like a bonfire, flickering wildly, sparking into the night. Like the rain—” “Stop.” My eyes burn and start to leak as I melt in his arms. “You’re making me cry.” “Every tear is a sign of your infinite worth.” He runs his thumb across my wet cheek. “In you, my universe lies.” “And you, my poetic savage, are a dark vine reaching.” “Better to wrap around the soul that mirrors mine.”
“Haven’t you heard? Waiting is my thing now. Every second without you is a second spent waiting for you. Even if you don’t want me in your life, you’re the constant in mine. Always here.” I tap my temple. “And here.” I touch my chest. “Doesn’t matter how long it takes. My feelings for you are timeless. I’ll wait forever.”
