because the first thing you said to your roommates when you got home the day we met was “ugh-oh”, because you were right and because that didn’t stop us. because one morning i woke up and found that you had put dinosaur stickers all over my mirror and because your emails out-word any essay i am currently writing. i love you and i never feel like the “other woman” when i’m with you.
