They say you never know when your life is going to change. Usually, it happens unbeknownst to you. The touches begin to linger. The laughs become longer, the smiles begin to hurt. And before you know it, you are in love. You just wake up one day and you realize, without them, without this, your life would become a landscape of nothingness. Without them, you are but happiness, addendum*, longing to be held, they have penetrated your soul, and you would long their farewell. And on that faithful day, the day we never knew, at the Lipstick Lounge, our unsuspecting dreams would come true. From then on, we would be strangers to sleepless nights alone. We would now have someone to understand our hurts and help shoulder our pain, encourage us when we are down, and keep us sane. And every day since has been an ode to a love story that two girl's don't often get to write, and a portrait we don't often get to paint. And there is not a day that passes that that love does not shine as bright as a summer's day, and hey, that is not to say the rain does not or will not come. That is simply to say, we will face the rain together.
