“Why stress about something when I don’t have to?”

Reminder to self

“It’s only you. Even though we aren’t together. I only see myself with you.”

“Face your shit. You can’t run from good thing to good thing, hoping it will erase the bad shit that happened. It happened.

“What did I do to deserve this?” I take the plate he’s holding out to me. “You exist. That’s all you need to do.”

“You’re all I’ve wanted and all I’ve needed.

There was no one before her. There will never be another after her. There is only her. Only us. All I’ve wanted. All I’ve needed.

We’re all deserving of happiness and of a love that’s so deep that you only discover the depths to which it goes with each passing day as your love grows.
