He grabbed her hand that was mindlessly playing with the hem of her shirt and laced it in his own, bringing it up to his mouth and kissing it a few times.

"What was that for?" She asked.

"I love you." He said, looking at her.

She smiled, she had heard the words coming out of his mouth so many times, yet when he looked at her like she was his whole world and wore a mask complete adoration on his face, she couldn't help but feel like he admitted to be in love with her for the first time, something she never thought she would experience. He had seen every ugly piece of her; how she looked when she slept, her hair everywhere, smeared makeup over her eyes, and her mouth wide open. He had seen her without make-up, many times actually, when she was enjoying her morning coffee, when she was crying her eyes out in his arms at some nights, that one time they snuck into the aqua park and swam until sunrise. He had seen her angry, spitting hateful constellations of words at him, at someone else, at herself.

"What if one day you wake up and you realize you don't love me anymore?" She whispered.

He chuckled lightly. "Well, I must've been brainwashed then."

She smiled sadly at him.

His chuckle died down and a frown grew on his face, he waited a few seconds before speaking. "I think that if I wake up one day and I don't smile at your sleeping face next to mine, don't think to myself how lucky I am to have you, then all I'm hoping for is that you feel the same way and we fell out of love at the same time, I hope that you won't get hurt, you won't have to cry. I hope you don't go out and see things that remind you of me. I hope you find someone who'll make you truly happy, I'm not saying that you need a significant other to be truly happy, I know you, you can make yourself happy, you're one of the strongest people I know. But if that really happened, all I wish for is for you to stay unscathed of any harm I could've caused you." He kissed her hand again and again. "I would always want you to be happy, with or without me."
