Dear Ariella,

Later that day,

We had um...

Intercourse.

It was so romantic.

I sound like a hormonal teenage girl, but it was.

I set up candles,

Put on slow music,

And scattered the bed with rose petals.

It was sort of awkward and there was a lot of

'Is this okay?'s.

But with you,

It was beyond compare.

You saw all of my scars,

And whispered one of the best on-the-spot quotes I've ever heard.

"You thought you would hurt me. Really, I hurt you."

I shook my head and started a protest,

But your kissing my lips shut me up.

You got a black sharpie,

And drew butterflies on every section of scars.

I love you.

And you didn't hurt me.

I hurt me.

For not being good enough for you.

-Lucas
