I have some sort of disease where you hallucinate and start to not believe in love, but after a year or two, or even sometimes ten or twenty, it cures itself and all that's left are a few little red spots that twinge and ache whenever you get too near someone else that has the disease and it's all you can do to stop from reaching out and holding them close.

You may not remember any of those, but I do & this is what I have to say to you: today, no matter what it takes, we ride home together.

Liking each other because it's a beautiful day & it seems like a waste of time to disagree about stuff the other one is refusing to change out of sheer stubbornness

This is a giant block of whatever is most difficult for you to carry & trust me on this, you'll carry it more times than you can count until you decide that's exactly what you want to do most & then it won't weigh a thing anymore.
