... I feel safe enough to show the worst parts of myself to her. There's nothing that I need to hide, which is contrary to how I've lived pretty much my entire life.
And I've always accepted that I'd live my life alone, but being apart from her has made me feel loneliness probably for the first time. I've never loved anyone or anything to anchor myself to them, but it's like... I can't help it. She's tenacious and strong and terrible, and every part of her is so precious to me. Just thinking about her is enough to soothe any ache.

That can also describe a dear friend. But I don't think I'd want marriage and a family with one of my friends.
[ it's very sweet, listening to him, how contemplative but genuine he is like this. she may not know what romance feels like herself, but that doesn't mean she's blind and can't see what it looks like in other people.

It sounds like you're better with her than without. It's lovely that she can give you that kind of comfort even when she's not with you.
We'd only been in a relationship for two weeks before I came here, and we've both had our entire lives upheaved so... I think there's a lot for us to figure out before that.

But maybe some day.
you deserve it
Two weeks, and you already feel so strongly for her.
[ it's not judgment or anything like that. it's an observation. people loving each other is a wonderful thing. ]
