“He calms me, soothes the ragged edges my life has left on my soul.” My voice is quiet now. I don’t know if she can hear me or not, but that’s her problem. I want to look at him, see those blue-brown eyes full of love, but this may be one of the hardest things I’ve ever said out loud. “He shows me that I’m lovable, even in the dark moments when everything tells me otherwise.”
