We were trying. We really were. It seemed as if our previously amazing progress had come to a complete standstill. We were doomed to be nobodies.
Then I met you, and suddenly I was hit with a wave of inspiration. Words seemed to spill out when I was with you. We seemed to grow even more.
You would stare at the stars, you were fascinated with everything. Your wonder and awe at the world seemed to balance out my negative view of the very same place.
I didn't plan on falling in love, but how could I not?
