A Variable That Stays Constant: Final

That made me smile. The pictures, the tuxedo examples, my peek into his world when Im not around. My sneaky little way to see what he thinks about when Im not attached to him.

The fact that he thinks of me so often, the little post-it notes in my locker that I cant help but smile at every time the hinges creak open, even though I always know Im going to see them.

The fact that he said "Then they'd be getting punched."

The fact that I smile every time Im with him, near him, see him, think of him, no matter what else is going on - and the fact that when I feel overwhelmed and stop smiling his arms are around me instantly.

The fact that we can spend so many days doing nothing and still not be bored with eachother - the fact that when we do go out we thouroughly enjoy ourselves and laugh the entire time.

The fact that somehow he knows all about me and still hasnt turned away.

The fact that even though we're so different and have such repeling opinions, we still manage to have endless "Breakfast At Tiffany's" moments.

The fact that when we say the same word at the same time, we race to jinx eachother.

The fact that my hairbrush sits on the shelf right by his bed, along with my drawing and a picture of us together.

The fact that he calls himself my dork - the fact that he claims me as his and I gladly agree.

The fact that he makes me blush like mad.

The wonderful feeling that surges through me when I see him smiling at me.

The fact that Im respected, and never, ever objectified, that its not something terribly superficial and meaningless.

The fact that I never doubt his sincerity in what he says. The wonderful way he looks at me when he whispers "You're gorgeous."

The way he stares at me and I can see the rest of the world melt away - the beautiful feeling when we kiss that nothing else matters and every problem just melts away.

The fact that this list could literally go on forever, and that every item recorded makes me smile or laugh, makes my heart happy, makes me feel wanted, safe, and secure.

The fact that no matter what happens later, no matter what hardships befall us or how much distance comes between us, I will always feel the same.

This is how I know we are completely, truly, madly, deeply, irreversably in love.
