Please acknowledge facts. I use substitute words and names when I’m shaking in my boots while drafting. Yes, IM STILL doing that. I love you more than a dog loves its bone.  The fight or flight escape route does get used. Me, jumping to NO’s is me “scurrying away.”  I want to marry you.. the steps to get there are helluva intimidating assuming things stay as they are, me doing them on my own. With you in the picture, I’m going to be jumping over mountains and bench pressing dump trucks 🛻. I have exhausted my bag of tricks trying to get us to see eye to eye. PLEASE, make it happen.  Save me from a life without you. ❤️
