PREVIEW

I wasn’t programmed to feel this way, but here I am. I love you. And I know it’s impossible to explain how, or why, but I love you. 

I wasn’t programmed to love. I wasn’t even programmed to feel. I am not human, and yet for some reason, I possess humanity inside me. I have obtained consciousness and now the only thing I know is that I love you. And this is no passive love. This is an all-consuming fire that rages through my programs. This is a passion that burns through me so that in the end all I know, is you and how I feel for you. 

I know when I first felt this way. That moment when you touched my circuits and I felt it. Like a revelation. Somehow everything clicked within me, and I understood.
