Ruby
You were, though. Before. Whenever all of what happened did happen. I was a problem, wasn't I?
You do. Sometimes. Exasperate me, that is. And I'm sure that sometimes I exasperate you. That's pretty common in most people, Ruby. Couples in particular. You make your bad jokes, I get excited over stuff that you think is typically pretty boring. It's just a thing. It doesn't mean I love you any less and it doesn't mean that I don't want you in my life. It's just one of the perks of being in a relationship.
You're wrong. My life was never easy. It was never even close to easy. The only time it ever got in a place that I ever felt like anything in it made sense is when you came along.
