Honestly I don't know why I've stuck around so long. Maybe it's the way my heart beats when I see him or maybe it's the way he smiles that keeps me falling over and over again. The feeling of his lips against mine, the warmth I feel. Maybe it's because I see what nobody else sees in him. The things he doesn't see in himself. His happiness, his gentleness, his playfulness, his humor, and his future. I see it all in him, but I also see his roughness, his jealousy, his insecurities, and most importantly his hurt. The hurt he has from being betrayed and heartbroken. The wounds that seem like they'll never heal. Maybe it's because I think I can mend those wounds for him. Or maybe it's I feel that I can be the peace he needs. Even though I write this I can't explain why I love him so much, it's beyond words.
