I’m sitting in the truck with the dog. We just took her to the overlook park so y’all could run. She laid down at the end of the park and we pet her in the grass.

You need oil for your truck, so we’re at the store now. You just stopped in the doorway of the Dollar General by the Y to sign my PIN number to me to see if you could remember it.

I am so in love with you. ❤️

She is my everything, everything. I am so engulfed in love for her.

I’m in love with my best friend and it’s even better than I could’ve ever imagined.

We’ve been dating for a year. We’ve been together for much longer. Even when we were apart for some time. Even when we were seeing other people, loving other people, being other people. I’ve always felt some kind of “together” with you. There were times when I could so vividly hear your voice that it felt like a hallucination. I would wake up in the night next to someone else, but it was your voice in my head, telling me that I’m okay.

When I took you to see Ashley McBryde, I told you we were going to see an orchestra. It wasn’t a lie. She was singing with an orchestra at the Fowler Center. I had seen the ad for the concert on the cover of the newspaper sitting on the front desk of the Newport Elementary SchooI. I left work and immediately checked my bank account, then prayed they would have tickets left. They did, but they were close to the back of the auditorium. I bought the tickets.

told you to make sure you had that night off so we could make a date of it. You double-checked and said everything was set. You spent the week telling people I was taking you to the orchestra. You always said it in a positive way, but I could tell the whole thing was confusing to you. We hadn’t done anything that dorky together and I seemed overly excited, I’m sure. But you were happy that we’d have a night out together. You went right along with it. I love that.

We both wore brown, borderline-nerdy outfits that looked to be from the 70’s or so. We stopped for Froyo first (obviously), then bought some books from Barnes & Noble before heading to the Fowler Center.

We got all the way inside before you knew what was actually going on. I had been careful to not let you see the tickets because they had ASHLEY MCBRYDE plastered near the QR code. We were standing in line to go to our seats when you saw a huge poster of Ashley where other folks were taking photos. You looked over at me and said, “Did you know about this?”

We got to our seats. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you speechless before. We looked through the program and you continually expressed your disbelief. You talked about how much you love her and how she is an inspiration to you. When Ashley came out and sang the first song, you cried. After the show, you told me that it was the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for you.

I just want to do things like that for you. Every day. Forever.

I can’t walk into this greenhouse without thinking about how you look under those sprinklers.

“…one heartbreak doesn’t mean you’re more likely to experience it again. If anything, you have to meet the wrong person to truly know who the right one is.”

Mountain View doesn’t have a view prettier than you.

Driving through the clouds with you could stop my heart.

I love you.

Sex in the shower with you is an out-of-body experience.
