"I can honestly tell you I have never felt this way about anyone in my life. From the second my eyes open in the morning you’re the first thing I think about; hoping you slept well and that your dreams weren’t too traumatic, hoping that I’d hear from you soon. At the start I couldn’t believe that you would want to message me so much, and each day it continued I felt as if I was on borrowed time until you moved on. But you never did; the conversations got more in depth and we ebbed and flowed with each other with the ease of lifelong friends. I love the fact that I don’t have to change how I write and the words I use when I’m talking to you. I don’t have to pretend to be anything other than myself with you. I struggled to contend with the fact that I’d only known you for such a short amount of time and I still do now. I feel like you’ve always been here. I’m certain that you’re on my mind almost as much as my key bodily functions like breathing. It’d be a competition, I’m sure of it. I see little things and big things that remind me of facets of you, things you’ve said and times we’ve shared. I miss your presence being around me and the energy in your eyes and voice when you speak to me; you make me feel like I could walk on water. There’s nothing more in this world that I want more than for those times to return; the Big Mac sauce with chips, the rally driving, the play fights and just holding you. When you’re with me, I feel utterly complete. I couldn’t care less about what anyone or anything else is doing. The zombie apocalypse could break out and I know I wouldn’t care as long as you were there, looking at me with those beautiful eyes as if I’m something special. I feel like you’re a part of me in everything I do, think, see and hear. I could tell you anything and even if you didn’t understand, you’d accept it. I know tonight, like each night before and each night to come, I’ll awake to think about you as you intersperse my dreams in the loveliest ways to find the bed only half as full as it should be. It is because of all this that I know I’m not leaving."
