I need her. More than my next breath. More than life itself. I never wanted to need someone. How did this happen? How did she break through my defenses? She’s been the center of my life for only a few weeks. And yet in that short time she has turned my world on its side. Everything is different now. Different and better. Different and worse. I can’t eat. I can’t sleep. I can’t work. I can’t do anything without thinking about her, wondering what she’s doing, aching to touch her, to hear her sweet voice. In just a few weeks she has become the center of my universe. When I lose her—and I know I will because there isn’t a single person or thing I’ve loved that I haven’t lost—I will be destroyed.
