The Lover's Dictionary

dumfounded (noun) 

and still, for all the jealousy, all the doubt, sometimes I will be struck with a kind of awe that we're together. That someone like me could find someone like you - it renders me wordless. Because surely words would conspire such luck, would protest the unlikelihood of such a turn of events.

I didn't tell any of my friends about our first date. I waited until after the second, because I wanted to make sure it was real. I would not believe it had happened until it had happened again. Then later on, I would be overwhelmed by evidence by the line connecting you to me and us to love. (from The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan)

dumfounded (noun)

I still amazed how how we started and we've gotten this far. It was not a good day for me, tiring trip with a bit argument with my traveling partner. I stepped on the boat and you were there smiling at me. A smile that I could not forget. I just stared at you blankly and I don't know what to say.

In the evening I was talking to your traveling partner and there where we started. Everything happened in split second. You told me your story how you ended up on the boat, I told you mine.

Every time I told someone or my friend about us they thought my story was from the book, or it was like from a movie.

Posterity, n.I try not to think about us growing old together, mostly because I try not to think about growing old at all.

Your hair graying, your skin folded and creased, your breath catching.

Your memories will be my most lasting impression.”  (from The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan)
