I’m in awe of you every single day, Lavender. For forgiving me when I didn’t know how to forgive myself.

Thank you for being strong enough to keep me in line. It’s like there’s a hole in the fabric of my soul that’s torn every time I leave, and only mends when I’m back with you. The away game stretches are the most challenging. I’ve made my peace with that, but I can’t lie and tell you that every night I spend sleeping in a bed without you next to me is a special form of torture. You’ve always been so much better at love than me. I didn’t know how to love you without taking over your world, or allowing you to take over mine.

And despite everything, I still maintain that it was the right thing to do at the time, even though it hurt like hell. I know you’ve forgiven me for all the things I did in the past that were meant to keep you safe from me. But it definitely makes it to the top of that list. It’s also the stupidest thing I’ve ever done, and there’s a seriously long list of things that fit into that category. Lavender, The hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life is try not to love you.
