[One-on-One Romance, Mutual Firsts, Sweet Everyday Life, Second Chances]
Love is a heavy word, unlike anything else. It isn't something you can earn just by trying hard.
Love is selfish. When you like someone, you hope they'll like you back and want them to return your feelings.
Love is giving. We always want to give the other person the very best we have, even if it means giving everything.
But we can't use love as an excuse to hold the person we love captive. So:
I love you, so you are free.
I love you, so I want to spend the rest of my life by your side.
