Aching Chest

I held her as we watched a movie. 

She began to cry into my chest and I asked

her what was wrong. She said, "I can't imagine a life

without you. But it existed at one point. And it saddens

me thinking about all we missed out on with each other."

Did I ever tell you that you are my hero? It's beautiful, poignant, bitter-sweet. Strange how you find those people later on in life and wonder why you couldn't have sooner. Very, very good.

A heart tugger indeed. That ache in the chest is impossible to get rid of. I love it man.
