“You know I love you.”
It is exhausting sometimes to love someone who always needs validation and constant reassurance.
“Prove it.”
There was that lost, little boy smile I’m defenseless against. I put down my book in defeat and sighed.
“You mean perform some Herculean feat, or unravel an impossibly tangled Gordian knot?”
“Yeah, like that.”
“How ‘bout I carry the weight of all your worries and fears on my shoulders? Maybe I can pick through your snarled mess of a brain, and resolve once and for all that I am hopelessly and ridiculously in love with you?”
“That’ll do.”

as much as I loved the language and the story of this knot… I cringed too, because that kind of proof is exhausting. I tried, once, to prove it and was left breathless and heartbroken anyway.
“There was that lost, little boy smile I’m defenseless against”- I loved this, so telling and you can see them.

Love is difficult to prove. Jumping through hoops doesn’t prove anything.
