thinking might easy
He was uncomplicated and upbeat and easy. At one point, I might have thought these traits made him a simpleton, but now I think they just translate to happiness.

Love as a verb. Love as a commitment.

And without Dex in my life, I like to think I could have somehow found contentment. But the truth is, I feel freer with Dex than I ever did when I was single. I feel more myself with him than without. Maybe true love does that

[The] maid of honor - the unambiguous, grown-up equivalent of wearing best friend necklaces.

You can love someone you mistrust.
love-is emotional people
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can end up focusing on misleading factors. Stuff that really has more to do with personality-the fact that some people are simply more expressive or emotional or needy in a relationship. But beyond such smokescreens, the answer is there.

As if to cast a magic spell, I blow on the dice just as Dex did...Just as it happened with our first roll, one die lands before its mate. On a six! I hold my breath. For a brief second, I see a mess of dots, and think I have boxcars again. I kneel, staring at the second die. It is onle a five. I have rolled an eleven, It is as if someone is mocking me, saying, Close, but no dice.
dice things-to-do loses
Maybe the thing to do after you roll the dice-and lose-is simply pick them up and roll them again.
different way one-way
One way isn't better than the other; they're just different.
letting-go past love-relationship
Change can be good but its always tough to let go of the past
forgiveness disappointment heart
Buried beneath disappointment and fear, anger and pride, I just might find it in my heart to forgive.
