This is where I have been: Waking up at three thirty in the morning and saying Baby, I had a dream that aliens were taking over the planet. I’m so glad you’re here to take care of me. Holding hands and singing along to the radio full blast. Karaoke and I could care less that my baseball team just lost the world series. It doesn’t matter as long as I’m here with you. Sleeping in on Sunday mornings. Getting out of school six hours early and being ecstatic for the extra time allowed together. New flannel sheets and new penguins and new love and How did I get so lucky?

And all at once, I am found.
