"It’s missing them after only an hour or two. It’s inside jokes that make you laugh every time. It’s watching a movie of their choice because you know how much they love it. It’s honesty even when the truth is ugly. It’s rolling over in the morning and feeling your day already made. It’s the “no, you hang up first” phonecalls at 3am. It’s arguments that last no longer than ten minutes because you can’t stand not speaking to them. It’s accepting all of their imperfections and complexities. It’s finding their lips in the dark because you’re so used to the curves of their face. It’s patient even when you don’t have all the answers. It’s touching their skin and igniting sparks. It’s feeling at home. It’s treacherous and wonderful and crazy and beautiful. It’s worth it. It’s always worth it."
