I can’t describe it.
(But I'm going to try.)

You were the best thing for me.

You are the best thing.

You are my favorite.


I don’t know my favorite part:

Is it this look or that smile or that laugh?

Or this kiss?

Or that snuggle?

Is it the way we fit together?

When we’re laying together,

When we’re connected.

Perhaps it was convenience.
(At least convenience had something to do with it.)

The challenge helped.

I just wanted to win,
Didn’t I?

What purpose did the prize play?
What was the purpose did the prize play in those days?
What happened to my life? What did I do, exactly?

i think there's a typo there. i think it's supposed to be "what purpose did the prize play in those days"?
