Since when are you so nice to me? Believe me, I'm not complaining. I just didn't know you could be so sweet and am not sure what I did to deserve it.
I don't connect well with a lot of people, but with you it's always been easy. I feel like you've changed a lot over the years, in a good way. Maybe not and it's me that's changed. That or I've just grown up to see things a little differently.
I don't know if I agree with you about the love thing. I think love, even if confined to one person, offers promise and hope. Sure it can be devastating and painful if unrequited. But, for me anyway, as long as it remains it's like my own little bubble of happiness. I think just finding someone you're capable of loving is a triumph in itself. It's the complete absence of love that's sad and lonely.
I remember once you were talking to me about your parents splitting up. Maybe it's because no one ever talks about their parents that I remember it as such a , but you were telling me about how in love they were and the kind of relationship they had and how in love your dad was with your mom. Perhaps I've romanticized the story more that was intended or maybe the reality of their relationship was different than what they let you see, but theirs seemed like the kind of love I want. I've never seen a real life love story but I hope that I never settle for anything less. and I hope that I can make it last.
It's been a long time since you told me that story, I know, and maybe it's a little bit strange that I remember it, but it's a little scary not having a relationship model. A little exciting though. I can make my life and relationships as grand as I want
