““But I’ve been waiting for you for much longer than that. See, I’ve been waiting since that day you skipped out of town and I went to your house to apologize and to beg for your forgiveness. I’ve been waiting since you didn’t come back, and I spent the first three years paralyzed with fear that I had finished us for good. I’ve been waiting since I went on that first date with a girl who wasn’t you—and how I went home that night sick to my stomach that I would never experience that feeling of rightness again.””
