“Back then I swore I was gonna marry him, someday…”
“To me, you are living example of how perfect a person can be. And I know you’re going to say that you’re not perfect but you’re perfect for me and you’re everything I need. If someone was to ask me, “If you were stranded on a desert island, what would you need to survive?” You would be number one on my list. Being without you is like being without oxygen, I need you forever and always to guide me and to love me, and to give me someone to love.”
“As I write this, I’m really worried that my book won’t be as good as yours, and that mine will suck and you’ll be like, “Yeah, whatever….” And throw it in a box and forget about it, and that yours will be all amazing, just like you. I’m worried about that all the time, that I won’t live up to your expectations.”
“I miss you so much when we’re not together. I feel like you’re a part of me, and that we should be together every day, rain or shine. I know that you’ll always be there for me, though, even like now when I can’t talk to you. And I want you to know that I’ll always be with you, even during the summer when we’re miles away and you won’t be able to see me for two months, I’ll always be there.”
“I know that sometimes I get a little jealous about how you felt about girls in the past, and I don’t know, I guess it’s because I was never one of those girls all of the guys wanted. I just never felt like I could be so special to someone, especially after years of having crushes on and dating random guys and only imagining what it would be like to be in the kind of relationship we’re in now. I never thought that guys could say the sweet things you say to me on a daily basis, like how beautiful I am, or how I’m your present, or how much you love me.”
“I’m really sorry about the way I’ve been acting lately. I know that over the summer I promised you guys that I would broaden my horizons and hang out with people other that Kyle, and so far I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t done a very good job of keeping my promise.”
“To be honest, when I first started dating Kyle I was so happy to have a boyfriend as caring and as kind as he was, and because I hadn’t really made many friends at school yet, I was happy just to hang out with him every weekend. But, a couple months later I started wanting to go out with my friends and have friends nights, but unfortunately Kyle hadn’t moved on to that part of the relationship yet.”
“I’m not the kind of person who is going to spend a whole year of my life with someone and just throw it away because I’ve become too involved.”
“I think the reason I didn’t do many things before was because I was afraid Kyle would be lonely or whatever but now that I realize he wants the same thing, I’m free to do these things. I don’t think that Kyle and I going back to being just friends would be a good idea, only because it would cause a lot of heartache and it would make me take a big step in the wrong direction.”
“To be honest, some of my underlying insecurity is that every time I have something really great, or am looking forward to something a lot, it tends to be taken away from me. I think part of that has manifested itself into possessiveness, like if I hang onto something hard enough there’s no way it will ever be taken away.”
