It’s pure hell being around a woman you love so fucking much and knowing you’re making her miserable.
Having her beside me and not being able to touch her – being afraid to even speak to her – was an eye-opener. What is it about confined spaces that brings truth to light?

“What do you need from me, Lo? Ask for it. Let me love you like you want to be loved.”
“How many times a day do you get so absorbed in something that you won’t even remember the next day?”
