You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.

I don't know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.

Before we met, I was as lost as a person could be and yet you saw something in me that somehow gave me direction again.

Yet I have come to believe that while the past is unchangeable, our perceptions of is are malleable.

A joy as intense as pain

That speaking the words, even if true, had little power to change the inevitable or even make him feel much better.

You need to learn patience, you grasshopper
