Candlelight

Last night my heart was overflowing. Last night I promised Mike I would always tell him the truth. Last night I realized that I love my life, I love everything about it. I love the hardship that shapes me and I love the brief respite that is an evening in his arms. I love being sustained by his honesty and his smile. I love singing along to Creedence Clearwater Revivial and driving in the fog at four a.m. I love daydreaming. I love giggling. I love trying desperately to talk about William Blake. I love quoting The Oblongs. I love that love is both scary and amazing.

I love that never is two weeks, and forever a month.

Infinity, however, is a lifetime. That might just be long enough to spend with him.
