I can say ‘I love you’ and mean it. I can mean it that way. The way we all want to say it and the way we all want to hear it. I get to hear it every day. And not just in it’s normal ‘I love you’ form. Sometimes it’s deeper, sometimes it’s childish. It’s still what we all crave to hear. It sounds like a line from a movie, and I’m sure somewhere it is, but he said it to me. To me, over the phone in the earliest hours of the morning. I’ll never forget it as long as I live. “I met you, and I knew that was it. I looked at you and knew you were the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I loved you since day one.”
And who knows? Maybe he stole it from a movie. Do I really give a shit? No. The important thing is that I’d never heard it from a movie or another person before him. So it means the world to me. He means the world to me. Which is a scary thing. But I’m ready. I need to start giving more of myself to the people I love and I think is a good way to start.
