It’s not my first love, but it’s the kind of love that makes all others fade away. A love that anchors me in the present, a perfect little world we’ve built together, where there’s no room for anything else. I think I’ve found that kind of love, this lifetime—the kind I miss, even when we're in the same room. The kind that keeps me safe.
