I Wish I Could Experience Life With You

why does people info-dumping turn me into a love-stricken dumbass. like. i'll be listening to a girl yapping about what's on her mind or her interests or whatever else, and suddenly I have a painful urge to make out with her under the moonlight. what's up with that

She is the safest place I have ever known.

omg we are both fucked in the head wanna make out

I'm like if a chivalrous knight kissed a fair maiden's hand and said "my lady, I fight for you" and then walked off and immediately tripped over his own armor and fell on the ground

reblog if it's okay for your mutuals to message you and create an actual friendship, not just interactions
