I’m hanging on to your words like you’re my favorite book. And, I’m completely engrossed in every page of who you are.

Falling in love with you was out of my control, but I do have a say in what happens next. And, I will choose to stay in love with you through everything this life throws at us.

I have no idea what the negatives of our picture-perfect life will look like. And, I don’t care. Because the negatives are still gonna be the picture I always envisioned: you and me.

Give people the benefit of the doubt, over and over again, and do the same for yourself. Believe that you’re trying and that they’re trying. See the good in others, so it brings out the best in you.

The MaskWe often pair the turmoil in our mindWith a calm exterior,Hoping that the maskWill serve as a floodgateTo hold back the chaosOf our swirling thoughts

I fell in love with your strength and your heart. I fell in love with your quirks and your stories. I fell in love with every part of you, the good and the bad. Mostly, I fell in love with creating a life with you.

I want to be the reason you never gave up on love.

I bathed myself in silence, wrapped warmly in the comfort of the quiet. Yes, the stillness accepts us as we are.

It’s a sharp contrast to the dull hues of the world around me…loving you feels like clarity.
