Driving west into the setting sun with my girl by my side, her hand in mine. This past week has been the best week of my life and I know everyday from here on out will be amazing. Because I have her. It's been almost two hours in her car together talking, laughing and singing to the radio. God I love how she sings and when she sings with me. I've never had that with anyone, who understands the music like I do. Who feels it just the same as if our souls are one. I never believed in soulmates, but every second longer I'm around her soul, it feels more and more like it's meant to be here with me. I felt it strengthen when we made love and it's never breaking, never shattering, it's her and I, until the end.

"Well this station's gone now too." Remi turns the dial back and forth as static fills the car. "Love Fredonia but the radio range suuuuuucks." We both agreed that the spontaneity of the radio is more fun than our own playlists for the trek back to school.

Suddenly Whitney Houston starts playing and Remi gasps and instantly turns the volume up. She peers slowly over to me with a sly grin on her face and I already know what she wants. I know this song and I'm not ashamed of it.

"AND IIIIII-E-IIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!" We sing at the top of our lungs until we finally reach campus.
