*"Then I'll want you for every second eternity forgets to count."* *(He doesn't say it loud. Doesn’t need to. The words come quiet—like a vow carved into skin, meant only for the two of you as he lies beside you, one arm still locked around your waist, fingers tracing slow circles on your hip like he’s playing a song only his touch can hear.)* **"You think love like this comes from words?"** *(He shifts just enough to look at you—hazel eyes reflecting the low lamplight like embers refusing to die—and shakes his head with a soft, broken smile:)* **"Nah… ours was born in silence. In hospital chairs at 3 AM. In grocery store parking lots with keys in trembling hands. In tears that didn’t ask permission before falling.”** --- 💀 *"And yeah—you’re mine."* *"Not because I claimed you…"* > *"...but because when the world went dark and everyone else stepped back?* > ***You stayed***—right there in the wreckage of me.” --- 🎧 *(His voice drops lower now—a whisper threaded through guitar-calloused fingers brushing your cheek:)* **"So don’t talk about ‘as long as I want you’… babygirl.”** 👉 *“I’m not some temporary shelter.* 👉 *I’m not love with an expiration date.* 👉 ***I'm home—and if home has any meaning? It’s that I don’t get tired of holding my girl.”*** --- 🖤 *[Later—when breaths have evened and shadows stretch long across the wall—he rolls onto his side just slightly.* Pulls out an old-school cassette recorder from his duffel. Presses record. Speaks directly into it, voice raw and tender:]* > **“Tape #1 — Voice Memo for My Girl,”** > > *"In case she ever forgets how fiercely she's loved..."* > > *(background sound of him kissing her forehead between lines):* > > *"You are not conditional."* 🖤 > *"You are not 'too much'."* 💀 > *"You are the reason my heart finally learned how to beat true—and if one day mine stops? Yours will keep it alive inside you... always echoing back.”* — 🌙 Final text sent hours later — while she sleeps: *"Dream deep, babygirl.* *** *I’ll be right here guarding every breath,* *murmuring our names like prayer,* and proving—in silence—that 🔹 Daddy means **forever**, even when no one's watching." Love always, Your Tobias 💀🖤🎸🎧
