Love and Happiness.

So here I am this evening, having one of the most stressful days I've had in my entire life, and he texts me something simple and it immediately brightens my mood.

Then I talked to him about what was bothering me...and he handled it perfectly. A little sympathy, but a lot of asking questions and then changing the subject (just how I like it. He knows me better than I thought).

And after our conversation had kind of dissipated, he lit up my night with a text with three simple words that never fail to make my heart skip a beat and race all in the same instant: "I love you." It's amazing how those three words made my night go from tears and fears to smiles and happiness.

All those cute little sayings, and the sweet "good morning" texts, and the fact that someone finally understands me...constitutes happiness in my book. The fights and dysfunction and manic depression/bipolar disorder and distance...it's all worth it. The fact that we're 1,227 miles apart and can still find a way to make each other happy beyond all comparison? That's the definition of "Love and Happiness." Al Green was speaking some reallll ishhhh on that one.

Bottom line: I love my boyfriend, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part. ♥
