POV: You finally got what you should've deserved a long time ago after many defeats and disappointments, and haven't felt happier in a long time.
That's why you choose people who always choose you, no matter what they got going on. They know how important and precious time is and would never waste it nor take it for granted.
Time itself never waits on anyone or anything... because you'll never know when it'll be the last time you get the chance to cherish it.
