There is a specific moment in a relationship when you stop thinking about tomorrow and start thinking about everything. When the person next to you stops being someone you are excited about and becomes someone you cannot imagine the future without. These messages are for that moment.
Not just I love you but something bigger. The quiet certainty of one person for all of it. These quotes and messages are written for that feeling, whether you are looking for the words before a proposal, wanting to say something that goes past I love you, or simply wanting to tell someone that you are in this completely.
