I only wish I wasn't the one who always had to test you with those "bad days."

[With a sigh, he leans against, her nuzzling into her neck as he closes his eyes and breathes in her scent and lets her warmth envelop him more than the water.]

But I do mean it... If I hadn't met you and had your love... I'm not sure how much more difficult it would have been.

So thank you.
