1. I love catching you smiling, the way you do, when you're looking at me. You make me feel like I really am made from stars, and maybe that's why you're always looking at me, too.
2. The way that you move entices me; how you say your words, play with your hands and wave them all around, when you're talking about something that passionately pisses you off. You are a forest fire living inside of a girl, and I am the pyromaniac in love with watching you.
3. You will always remind me of summer nights, when the breeze kisses your skin and the stars shine in the clear sky. You will always feel like comfort, safety, love, and you will always feel like "home."
4. Before you, I lived my life through white-knuckled fists and bruised ribs. A highway to a life within the distance of six feet. Now, I don't make enemies of walls and I look both ways before crossing the road.
5. You are my anchor. I am restless; I always thought that I could never be chained to one place, but you made me want to take off my running shoes and sit to watch the sunset with you.
6. I know that we've both had to stitch ourselves together so many times, that it's hard to keep it all together now. It's okay. Even with our patchwork souls and lingering sadness, I will always hold your hand in mine.
7. You're my favorite human being. By that, I mean that I would rather hold no one else's waist, have no one else's fingertips tracing my skin, feel no one else's lips against my neck than yours.
8. I love you. No thousands of words would ever do to describe exactly how much. But, my god, I love you: completely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and even when you're kind of an asshole. I love you.
