Me, sitting on my couch alone in my apartment on a Thursday night in nothing but a hoodie and a jockstrap, high and drinking a glass of wine while playing Pokémon on my 3DS with the Golden Girls playing the 27th time through on Hulu:

“Once your lips touched mine, I knew I was doomed.”

“The most beautiful part is, I wasn’t even looking when I found you.”

“I feel like everything in my life has led me to you. My choices, my heartbreaks, my regrets. Everything. And when we’re together, my past seems worth it. Because if I had done one thing differently, I might have never met you.”

“Kiss her slowly. Take your time, there’s no place you’d rather be. Kiss her, but not like you’re waiting for something else, like your hands beneath her skirt or shirt, or tangled up in her bra straps. Kiss her like you’ve forgotten any other mouth that yours has ever touched. Kiss her with a curios childish delight. Laugh into her mouth, inhale her sighs. Kiss her until she moans. Kiss her with her face in your hands. Or your hands in her hair. Or pulling her closer at the waist. Kiss her like she’s the brightest star you’ve ever seen. Kiss her like the first and last piece of chocolate you’ll ever taste. Kiss her until she forgets how to count. Kiss her stupid. Kiss her silent. Pull away, and ask her what 2+2 is and listen to her say your name in answer.”

“Love says: I’ve seen the ugly parts of you, and I’m staying.”

“There’s some people in this world who you can just love and love and love no matter what.”

“I don’t want her selectively. I want her all the time. When she’s happy, when she’s sad, when she’s stressed- always. I want to be there for her when she needs it most, and to have fun with her when she’s having a good day. I want to do everything I can to support her through whatever comes her way.”

“You and I know each other in our bones,”

“Do you think the universe fights for souls to be together? Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences.”

“I want to thank you for making all the love songs mean something again.”

I love you the same way I learned how to ride a bike:

“Be with the one who makes you forget how terrified you are of falling in love.”

“‘We’ve known each other forever,’ she said. ‘I can hardly remember not knowing you. It’s hard to remember the days before you. I don’t even know if there were any.’”
