Didn't even know I needed it.

See that girl there? I'm in love with her. She has single-handedly salvaged an entire year of uncertainty, sadness and estrangement. She is my best friend. I want to tell her nice things all the time. I want to tell her about stupid shit I find in gas stations (See this? See how funny? I love you I love you.)

Nothing about it is work. In fact, it's the easiest thing in the world. It's easier than brushing your teeth, or watching firecrackers, or drinking beer under the burning wheel of the sun.

I admire her. She's everything I love about people, but she's nothing like people. She's something else entirely. Never before have I encountered such kindness, sincere compassion, intelligence, humor and impossible beauty. That sounds like hyperbole, but it's true: her beauty, in all its manifestations, truly seems impossible. There's no way to adequately describe this -- you just have to be there, inches away from the soft globes of her blue eyes, unable to stop kissing her, knowing you wouldn't stop if you could, barely hearing yourself - if you're even speaking - I love you I love you I love you.
