"I used not to believe
a love like yours
could truly exist.
I used to believe
books and movies
lie to me.
I used to believe
the songs were
only fictional tales.
I used to believe
fiction can never
be real.
I used to believe
perfect love is something
dreamt up in imagination alone.
but now I get to experience it
every single day,
every single moment.
How can this be real?
Am I still living in the story of my favorite book?
Are you a fictional character written by me; for me?
Is it just a dream and I am actually sleeping?
How do I convince myself that this is real?
How is it so perfect that it feels as though it was crafted just for me?
If it is a book, I never want it to end.
If you are a character written by me, this story will go on forever.
If it is just a dream, I wish to remain asleep for eternity.
Is this what it means 'to be in love'?"
I was pulled from my whirlwind of thoughts when I saw him looking at me as if his entire world had been paused, with only me in his view. Without saying a word, he answered the question in my heart: ‘Yes, it’s a beautiful reality.’
Send it to your partner and confess what they mean to you❤️.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
