DESCRIBE ME, WHAT WOULD YOU

Mom: Shes bright, intelligent, a forward

WITH
ME?
Eric: I tend to find myself attracted to girls who
are differenta little on the hippie side. I'm
attracted to the way you think and express
yourself. You're different and independent. I am
in a relationship with you because I like being
with someone who likes me as much as I like
them back, and the way you express love for me.
We can sit down and not say anything and still
enjoy each other. You're a friend but at the same
time you're more than that. I can hang out with
you but at the same time I can talk to you about
things that I couldnt others. I love you more
than I could ever love a friend You make my
chest feel all weird.
