"I know it's not the best time to call but I just want you to know that I love you and I wouldn't mind setting up the sun in the sky every morning just for you to see it rise and shine."

"There's so many things I'd like you to see and so many feelings I' like you to feel. I hope you'd put up with until the end. There's just so many you and a little less of me in our world but I don't mind. I don't really mind."

"Okay, listen. I've got this brilliant idea about you and me running away together and live somewhere far from the city. Instead of tall skyscrapers, we'd see mountains and cows and little children walking their way down the streets. Country side kind of scene. I know it's not your thing but maybe we could work it out and eventually you would fall in love with the green and mud covering up our shoes and when you come back home from work or whatever it is you've been doing, you'd say "I'm home, darling." Isn't it crazy?"

"Sometimes I look at you and I see a person I don't deserve. Because here I am, calling you and leaving you voicemails at three in the morning, putting up with my insomnia episodes, being patient... listening with all your heart. I'm so lucky to have found you. It's a miracle."

"I was out earlier and I thought I saw you with another guy. The two of you were holding hands and looked lost in each other's stares. Then I told myself it's not possible. That's why I'm calling you right now. To tell you that I don't believe in what I saw and it's probably someone who looked like you."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I should have just shut up and walk my way out of your apartment instead of blaming everything to you when you've done nothing wrong. I should have known better. It's my fault. I'm sorry. Please, forgive me."

"Will you still love me tomorrow?"
January 1st / 12:02am
"You're the best thing that ever happened to me. I shouldn't be doing this right now because after all, you're here by my side, sleeping soundly, your head on my chest, alive and breathing. I love you so much."
