My mind wanders idly thinking about happy endings with you. The days seem longer between words that we share. One hour can feel like days. Days feel like lifetimes. But as we once again intertwine fingers and remove space between our lips, my lungs full with air again like I had been holding my breath since the last touch. Love isn't easy. But the love between us is pure. It gives me hope for the world and for myself. Like our love can wash away the sins and mistakes and all the bad there is in the world. The world can be scary, but with you it looks bright. It is a love that wasn't meant to be until it was. Any moment, any change of plan or thought, could have altered the future that we began to share. But somehow the stars aligned just perfectly so that you and I were brought together. The love of a lifetime may not always last a lifetime but that is what ours is and that is what I hope it does.
I am challenged by you daily to be smarter, stronger, better than I am. To think differently. To feel differently. To see things and people and life differently. With you I am not perfect. I am not free of mistakes. I don't always say or do the right things. Yet despite all of that, you still make me see the good in myself. Because above all other people you bring out more of the good in me than I could even do for myself. When I think I'm good, you say I'm better.
There is a lot of love out there in the world, but ours is its own and uniquely different than any other. And it's my favorite. I love our love the most.
