ive been with my bf for 7 months now and its been wild. my first relationship, first time with a man, first time being in love. he makes me feel safe and he tickles me until my fight or flight activates. he validates and nurtures me and he learned how to play magic the gathering bc he knew i liked it. he annoys me and pushes my buttons and he taught how to play ball correctly. he laughs at my quirks and he accommodates my needs. he understands me and opens up space for me to speak my mind and he tells me when he's upset so i feel comfortable telling him when i'm upset. he's vulnerable so i feel comfortable being vulnerable. he takes me in and holds me tight and he shadow boxes me all the time. i can't breathe without him. i can breathe so much easier bc of him. he brought back my spark and he tends to it with firewood and kindling he gathered. he makes me laugh. he makes me cry. i love him. i said "i really prefer women but if the right man ever came along" for years and years and here he is, i can curl my fingers in his hair and make out with him in the shower. i can show myself to him in a way i never have. i thought i could never experience penetration and he proved me wrong. i thought i could never be loved and cherished and cared for and he proved me wrong. i love him. i love you. i love you i love you i love you i love you i love y
