You're the heart of my contentment.

I hate how your emotions directly affect how I feel.

Whenever you're down and upset, I will do anything humanely possible to bring back your smile. I can't find a reason to be happy when you aren't; there's no happiness when the person you love isn't there to experience it with you.

It's like our hearts are connected.

I cannot help but consider your problems and issues as one of my own because, well, you've become this major component in my life. A complete unexpected encounter has led us to this. An addiction with each other called love. It's when those sappy cliche love quotes start making sense to you like, "I can't breathe without him/her with me." It's when you begin to experience those quotes being applied to your own life. It's when their presence becomes the greatest part of your day and their absence leaves an excruciating vacancy.

My heart has grown attached to yours. I care too much to disregard your emotions when they're invading my thoughts and continue to drag my hopes down. Your joy is my merriment. Your misery is my calamity. My mind will be restless until you're seemingly normal again. More often than not, I feel worthless when I make efforts to enhance your mood. I have doubts about my capability to actually being a benefit to you rather than just futile. I won't give up on you though, because as long as I see just even a sliver of hope, I'll continue to try. And I never run out of hope with you.
