I thought what I caught was lightning in a bottle; I found out I was wrong when it finally shattered.

Hi Reed,
I was contemplating. Do I still love you, or am I used to your presence? Do you still own my heart, or am I just afraid to start over without you? Am I scared to do things I have always done with you alone?
Whenever I think about it, it is almost always immediately overshadowed by our happiness—those days when you used to write me letters filled with compliments that touched my heart and soul, those laughs we had about a silly joke, and those meals we shared, as we confessed that it was both our first time trying them.
I was ready to experience my firsts with you, but you never wanted the same. It is one thing I could never understand. Was it that hard to care for the things that make me happy? Do you include me in your dreamy plans like I always did with you? Do you love me the way I love you, or did you stop and choose to notice every shortcoming?
Would these disagreements and fights taint what we currently have? Would it ruin the memories and the things that we shared?
Can I face tomorrow if I were to leave you now?
All these questions remained questions. My love for you came in waves that envelope each doubt and hesitation. I love you, and I will always do. Even if you have forgotten how to love me, I will show you and be happy with whatever you can give me.
