The Silence of Longevity

You're still my favorite constant.

Sometimes... mmmm most of the time, I sit there and overthink every single moment in our relationship.

I tell myself that if it were to end, I love myself enough to get past it, but if I'm honest I've become so accustomed to you and our nights on the couch fighting over what to watch... that I'd miss the normalcy.

Listen, we've been together longer than any body else I've been with, and yet we're at four years and somehow I'm more sure with you, than the boyfriends that wanted to marry me six months in.

Enough, you're enough - that's what I keep repeating to myself.

Nothing compares to cooking with you in the kitchen.. when you let me, you perfectionist you. Nothing compares to watching Love is Blind and telling each other how we'd do it differently, and nothing comes close to planning a life with you.

Calm down, deep breath. You watched your parents relationship growing up, the ups and downs, and somehow you're still the hopeless romantic that you watched in 90s romcoms... and your parents are 30+ years in.

Each day with you seems like day 1 and also day 100,000 in the best way.
