I first want you to let you know that I love you with all of my heart and with all of my being. Leaving you each year to go back to school is the hardest thing I have to do. I long for nights in with you and for your comforting ways. I count down the days until I get to see you next. I spend my nights in the library working as hard as I do knowing that this will help our future together.

I know this is hard and it never does get easier, but please know that I'm always thinking about you. You're on my mind everyday no matter what. I may live at school, but my home is wherever you are and wherever you may be.

Thinking about being back with you is what gets me through my time at school. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me.

So many people have told me that I'm crazy to want to have a boyfriend all throughout my college career. And you know what? I think they're crazy for thinking that. What is so crazy about wanting to be with my best friend throughout my hardest times? Where is the rule that says you cant be in a committed relationship throughout college?

Well I have something to tell those people- I don't want anybody else. I don't want to "play the field" and take my college years to meet new people. What's the point? To "find myself"? Who better to "find myself" with other than my best friend? Who better to figure out the rest of my life with then the one person who has supported me the most?

I want you to know how much I appreciate you. How much I appreciate you for being with me even when I'm at my worst.

Thanks for being there for my late night phone calls and my (somewhat weekly) break downs about having too much work at school. Thank you for being so understanding. Thank you for your kind words to help me get through it all and most of all- thank you for loving me.
