He replied, “no, nothing will ever be perfect. things will get hard, life won’t turn out like you wanted. life will suck. but thats where you come in. I love you, and i want you to be with me everyday to make my life worth it, to take the pain away, to help me through it all, to make it so there’s always something i want. i want you, i want you to marry me.”

and she ran. never to speak with him again.
