I don’t know good wine from cheap wine, light from dark roast, Coke from Pepsi. But I know that your love gives me goose bumps.

All of my life I’ve been conservative. Old-fashioned. But with you, I didn’t feel like being conservative. With you, I felt like taking a cab back to your apartment and throwing all my values, and ethics, and beliefs, and hopes out the window.

Maybe there is no one moment we fall in love, or we just don’t feel it anyway, but we feel the moment that we realize we’ve been feeling the way we have because we’re in love.

I can’t promise that a day will go by in which I don’t fight with you. But I can promise that not a day will go by in which I don’t fight for you.

Like the way you’ll sit through foreseeably awful romantic comedies with me and never comment on their predictability, because you know that I find comfort in knowing what’s to come.

In this moment, I understood all the clichés they used to tell me about fate. I even became less skeptical of poetry.

I forgot that I was happy. After years of being okay, and fine, and getting by, and hanging in there. I was finally happy.
