"You love me; real or not real?"

"Once you become real, you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always." -The Velveteen Rabbit

Love is like that. Once someone knows you inside and out, loves you for all of it, becomes a part of you- Suddenly, you have become real and alive, and that's something you can't forget or let go of.

Not everyone gets to keep that first fresh breath of life. Life goes on, we lose people one way or another. Rarely do we find someone that stays.

I'm incredibly lucky. I wake up next to the one that made me real. The first breath is gone, and it will never come again; What we have has eternally lost it's newness. We'll never feel the way we did in the beginning, timid and excited all in one. But we can't be unreal again.

It lasts for always.
