"YOU'RE MINE. MINE TO LOVE. Mine to always, always, always, always, always, always always, always, make sure you know how much love I have for you and how much I want you to know I love you with my heart, soul, mind, my being, everything that I am and capable of being, I love you, always will because..."

"Because?" He's smiling when he says, "I love you because I have no 'because' to love you, I just do. All of my because's-" my laugh stops him mid-sentence.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to laugh." I say, covering my mouth with my hands, feeling so bad.

"That's okay, my love." He uncovers my mouth while my heart does a summer-sault.

"I haven't finished so I'm going first, okay?" I say and kiss the corner of his lips and let his scent consume me entirely. "Do you know how much I've tried to talk myself out of falling in love with you because I thought I was making a huge mistake? I was scared of losing you. But you consumed me. You were always there, even when you weren't physically there close to me, you still were. In my room, at work, in places like the library, the cafe, the park, the streets, the car, everywhere Harry, you're always there. I couldn't get you out of my head. You invaded my dreams, my thoughts, my conscious, my subconscious, my actions, everything around me always brought me back to you. The first time I kissed you, I knew I was in too deep. Too deep Harry, you have no idea how many times I envisioned us doing it again and again, in the weirdest of moments, not just in my dreams or when I'm alone. I couldn't get you out of my head. You switched something on in me. I've never felt this way about anyone. I can't even begin to comprehend my love for you Harry, it's that-not bad but that much. It doesn't make sense but it also does because this, us feels right."

"We don't have to make sense if it feels right, baby." He says and his words are so true. "My turn, now. Come here angel," he pulls me towards him so I'm seated on his lap as he swings us with his foot on the grass. "As I was saying, all of my because's are justified by the fact that there's nothing that would make me not love you or stop or make me not feel the way I do for you. My darling, you have touched not just my heart but all parts of me, everything in me wants you. You make me want to live again. That's what you do to me. Everything about you bewitched me. And everyday my love grows for you, I want you just the way you are all the days of my life. I've never felt this way about anyone, not even my ex-sorry-"

"You don't have to apologise, Harry." I assure him because I just needed to. He should know that mentioning his ex to me is never going to upset me because as a matter of fact, nothing can change the way I feel about him.

"I would understand even if you did." He says, enclosing our fingers together. "What I'm trying to say is that I've never felt this kind of love before. It's like I've finally filled that void inside of me. You perfect me. That's what you do. No one has ever had the power to do that but you. I don't think I could ever begin to say how much I love you and spend every waking moment to all the other seconds to minutes thinking about you until the day ends but even then, you take over my dreams, my thoughts...there's not a day that goes by without me thinking about you. You perfect me and I, I'm just another human, nothing but I want to experience every moment of everyday of the rest of my life with you." I bury my face in the crook of his neck so he won't see me crying because my eyes are literally like Niagara falls right now. His words have tattooed themselves all over me.

"You perfect me too." I say and seal that phrase by kissing him, holding him, loving him, breathing him, experiencing him, cherishing him, remembering him, valuing him.

"Baby why are you crying?" He nuzzles his face in the crook of my neck, soon placing kisses on my cheek making me smile through my tears.

"They're happy tears, I promise," I smile up at him.
