No Strings Attached

Today I was so overwhelmed, I felt like everything was falling apart. That anxiety you have when you get separated from someone, that pain in the middle of your chest was so somber. It feels like you are incomplete and your body can feel that. I came from Halifax to Toronto today. I was there for 4 days with the love of my life. Yes, love. We get so excited about the word love, right? But do we ever understand what it is actually? I think it is always a combination of care, understanding, and respect, but maybe it's more than that? Coming back to Halifax, we spent 4 days together, which we never spent before, since we have been together for more than a year. He came to pick me up in a Mustang. We went to dinner, lunch, and breakfast like every other normal couple. You must be thinking this is such a basic thing. But not in our case.  Talking about him, he is the perfect man that every girl wants — a gentleman. He treats me like I am some fragile flower and loves me like he wants it all. He doesn't talk much but I sense it all. The way he touches my body feels like he is touching my soul. He won't give me flowers but give me those butterflies in my stomach.
