The feeling I get whenever I see you, even if it's not the first time I've seen you that day. A nagging feeling of wanting to be near you, wanting to talk to you but being too scared I may fuck it all up. But now I finally understand that feeling. You are my everything. There's no other words to describe it. You mean everything to me, and I love you in a way I couldn't possibly explain. But what I do know is I love you. And I will never stop loving you. And I will be here, I will always be right here... for you"
