“I won’t let you fall.” “You say that and it’s sweet. But you don’t get it.” “Get what?” “I need to do this on my own.” “Understandable. Think of me as the safety net.” “I’ve never had a safety net.” “You do now.”

“No.” I shook my head. “I fell in love with you the moment you stole that vase of flowers.”

“The struggle is what affirms you’re alive. Without it, the bright moments don’t shine.”
