Akane,
They always saw us as opposites.
I was rich, you were poor.
I was refined, you were crude.
I was soft and delicate, you were strong and tough.
Maybe it’s that people couldn’t see, maybe it’s that we were just less guarded around each other, but I think it’s that reducing people to opposites is a stupid concept to begin with.
Because we were never just these things. You were soft and I was tough; I could swear like a sailor and you could say the sweetest things. We were everything we needed to be and nothing when we could be silent, for just a second - but I never did care for silence when I could just as easily listen to you talk of anything that jumped into your head.
You still are the most interesting person I’ve ever met. You’re capable of so much joy, in yourself and in me – in us. You make me laugh more than anyone else; your dumb, cheesy pick-up lines make me smile just to think of. I’ve never met anybody else quite so capable of filling any room with cheer. For as long as you live, the world’s capacity for harmless cheerfulness will continue to increase.
And that’s why I love you.
And that’s why I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
