I rethought how I wanted to start the message.

I love you more than I have ever loved anything in the entire world, and every time we talk, I get reminded of that more and more.

Maybe that was too aggressive.

Every time I see your name, I get butterflies and can’t stand having someone else say it in front of me because I get nervous.

Probably too creepy, right?

I think we should be together. I’ve never wanted to ruin my life. I’ve never wanted to have everything I never thought I wanted, but you make all that seem so good, and I can’t imagine living my entire life without at least trying to make it work.

Excessive, no?

I want you to be the one that I see walk down the aisle. I want you to be the one I make up some cheesy and borderline foolish vowels to so I can make you laugh when it’s supposed to be a serious moment because, well, that’s just what I do.

Nah, I could do better.

I want to take you on a date. I want to open your door when we leave the restaurant. I want to drive with you in my shotgun seat, windows open, and music blasting to shit like The Fray because I know my voice will crack when I hit the high note, but I don’t give a damn because you’ll be singing right alongside me too. & I want to take mental pictures of those moments so nobody can take them away.

For today, I’ll settle with just a “Hey”.
