You've always been my safe place, my escape when life gets crazy. You're my calm through every storm.

The two of us were everything that we needed to be to one another as we sat behind those strings.

When I'm around you, it's like every dream I've ever had is standing right in front of me.

A sharp pain in her chest became more intoxicating with each breath she took. There it was. The reason she had forced herself to keep her distance from love. Why she had given up on trusting someone not to hurt her. Because a broken heart, no matter how figurative, was an unbearable pain to endure. And sometimes, no matter how much you want to be with someone, there__ never a guarantee that they want you back.

The guilt fell upon him like a hammer to a nail. He dropped onto his bed, grabbing the picture frame that sat next to it. I__ sorry were the words that repeatedly came out of his mouth. All he could think was, how could he do that to her? To the woman he vowed to spend the rest of his life with. His stomach hurt just from thinking about it.

When you're afraid because you don't know what comes next, I will be there to love you through it. So, I guess today, I'm asking you to let me.
