Something about him—something I didn't understand—had a way of amplifying the good in my nature while muting the bad. He was a catalyst for my soul. I didn't need him in order to exist...I needed him in order to be a better me.”

Or maybe there’s just a fine, subjective line between the cliché and the poetic.”

Physical attraction is a feeling you don't really have control over, but devotion is something that has to be chosen. So, ideally...
