“All I know is that woman right there is the diamond in the rough of my soul. I want to love her for as long as I can. Trust me, I don’t want to hurt her any more than I already have, but for the first time, I’m not focusing on all the wrong things. Life is still against us, but if it isn’t changing anytime soon, why can’t I soak up a little bit of her until she’s pried out of my heart?”
