When you are happy...

“This is our big chance to see what people think of us. 
The real us. 
We have to show 'em there's nothing to be afraid of. 

I looked at other couples and wondered how they could be so calm about it. 

They held hands as if they weren't even holding hands. 

When he and I hold hands, I have to keep looking down to marvel at it. 

There is my hand, the same hand I've always had - but what is it holding?

 It's holding his hand!

Each day I wonder what happens next. 

What happens when you stop wanting, when you are happy. 

I suppose I will go on being happy forever..."
