One of those conversations...

me: So, are you confident that you would be even better than the husband that I'm supposed to have?
em: I am already better. 
me: Hmm?
em: I already win. Simply because I exist. Those are qualities, just qualities that he would have, but he doesn't even exist. I already exist here. 

Emman says the most surprisingly romantic thing when he least prepares for it. The kind of romantic that succeeds more effortlessly with the existentialist in me, than with the critical and disillusioned one. 

But it's really amusing and rather hilarious (not to mention sadistically shiok) to see how he tries to formulate something romantic to say to me, on-the-spot. He looks like he had too much fibre and too little water. Like, it is the most challenging thing to mouth. Unfortunately, despite the great effort, with a disillusioned and critical girlfriend like me, the most sculpted romantic paragraph would often fall to the side of being a cliche (and evokes an eyes-rolling reaction). haha. 

But that's precisely why we would do better than the couple in my destiny. Because in life, it's happier to want what you already have than to keep hankering for something that you want but not have. 

We have already found and been found. We are already here. For each other.
