Pinterest plus Love equals a Fire to My Obsession

Saw this image on Pinterest, reminded me of a character and her boo, and spawned the thing below this image.

I'm the boy who wants to give you the whole garden--every flower, every bud, roses included. I'm the boy who wants to stay in with you any night of the week or go out to see stars and sunsets and sunrises. I'm the boy who would wait on you hand and foot because I'd do anything and everything for you. Your happiness, your eyes, your laughter make my heart flutter. I'm the boy who loves movie nights with you because we can cuddle under our blankets. I love fancy nights out, too, because your beauty inspires me to dress better, so the general public can at least kind of see why you would even bother with some guy like me. I'm the boy who closes his eyes just so your voice can touch him and locks all your secrets in his heart. I'm the boy who stammers under your touch, blushes at your nearness, but adores holding you or anything of yours just to say he's priviledged, honored to do so. No, I love you more than anyone can understand, and I will stay here, day after day, just to see you smile.

They think I'm crazy, and they're right: I'm crazy about you, and I can't wait until the day you recover and live again.

Ten years I have loved you, and I'll love you for a hundred more, even if you won't take me when you wake up.

Counteracting Wild Desperation with Explosive Affectation

I have some days where I love you so recklessly, with such abandon, that I can't even express this love in my heart with mere words. Strangely, I don't think I could express this love at all--in any way. For out of the abundance of the heart, my mouth overfloweth. But my lips cannot form the words to tell you how I feel. My mind cannot fathom the words, and when it tries to communicate, all I say pales in comparison to the love I cannot put into words. I don't even think sex could communicate to you the way I feel, the love I have. I could make love to you in a thousand ways for a thousand days and still we would fail to know this love in its entirety.

You are the purest, clearest, loveliest soul I could ever bind myself to. In all the world, you and you alone are the strongest, the toughest, the bravest, the most courageous human being. And you love me. You love me with this same ridiculous, overwhelming, inspiring love.

I see it in your eyes. You feel it in my touches. And our hearts know. We know without a doubt that we will protect. I will protect your honor, your integrity with a fierceness only a knight against a dragon could know. And you will protect me in kind. Our vulnerabilities, revealed only to each other, can never be exploited behind this strong tower, this fortress, this wall that conceals our love.

And I love that I can love with this intensity, this fire. And I love that you can finally let yourself love me the same way. I have forgiven you, forgiven myself, and you have forgiven me, forgiven yourself. So we lie here and sob and laugh and embrace. Because we know. We know that nothing will ever compare to this explosive affection, this extensive admiration.

I am safe in your arms under our covers and this closeness anchors us from the clouds, the stars above our heads. I don't think I can ever look you in the eye in the same way. Now I know you and you know me in the most intimate of ways, soul to soul, and I like that. Don't let go of me tonight. I will hold you against my heart for the rest of time.

But for now, rest in my embrace. I won't even say the obvious as our eyes shut for the night.
