This is what it’s like to be in a committed relationship: it’s like you’re two strands of yarn and you’re tangled together, entwined, and every tug in opposite directions only seems to bring you closer together. It’s like nothing can ever tear you apart- even if you lose a bit of yourself, you’ve still got all of him to make up for it.
This is what it’s like to be in a committed relationship with someone who hasn’t fallen in love with you yet: it’s like you’ve never been more sure of anything in your entire life than when you’re staring into his blue eyes and you’re so tired of waiting, but you know you’ve got to be patient, always so patient.
This is what it’s like to be with you: it’s so many deep-belly laughs and insecure tears sometimes and checking my phone every ten minutes to see if you’ve texted me back yet. It’s your arms around my waist and my hands ruffling up your hair and sharing body heat in the backseat of my car and so many kisses and memorizing every tiny mark on your body. It’s letting you in, finally, letting you have every part of me, even the ugly pieces of myself that I don’t like to acknowledge. It’s being so very in love and waking up every morning with the sole intention of getting you to fall in love too.
