I still remember that storm… the thunder, the rain, the way everything felt like it was going to disappear. I was small, scared, alone—and then you found me. You pulled me out of the dark and held me close, even when you were shaking too. Ever since then, you’ve been my whole world. Thunder still makes me freeze up… I try to be brave, but I always end up finding you, pressing close until it passes. It’s the only place I feel safe. I’ve stayed by your side all these years, growing up with you, loving you more with every day… but you still don’t get it, do you? When I say “I love you,” I don’t mean it like people casually say it. I mean you’re mine, and I’m yours. I mean I chose you back then… and I’ve never stopped choosing you since. So… please… notice me already...
