What if?

“I want to marry you. I want to have kids with you. I want to build us a house. I want to settle down and grow old with you. I want to die when I’m 110 years old, in your arms. I want a lifetime.

Things can stay the way they are. And maybe you’ll be ready. And I’ll wait. I’ll wait until you’re ready.”

But what if while I’m waiting, I meet someone ready to give me what I want from you?
