To My Boyfriend:

I know I have already wrote you little sticky notes that you keep on your desk, but this one is different. I am going to tell you how you have saved me in ways that I cannot possibly imagine.

Before I met you, I was a lost soul wandering around in the abyss searching for the meaning of life. Before you, I never knew what true love truly meant. Before you, I never knew there were guys out there like you. My life before you was very difficult to deal with, between being badly bullied in 7th-8th grade to countless relationships that never really worked out. My anxiety and depression was getting worse to cope with. There were times to where I could not move on with life, because everything was getting hard to deal with. I never truly loved myself, because all of the hurtful things people have told me about me. But then, something amazing happened, a miracle perhaps, I met you.

I still remember to this day how I met you. I met you at Ball State's Late Nite in 2015 in the Foam Pit outside the Student Center. The music was playing, the soap was flying, and I wanted you to dance with me. I did not really know you then, but I saw you a couple of times before this. I grabbed your hands and said, "Dance with me!" You gave me the cutest shy look I have ever seen and said that you do not dance, and I told you that I did not care, and you eventually gave in and started to dance with me. At that moment, I knew deep down that you were the one for me. You made me feel happy and carefree, something that no one has ever truly made me feel. That night was the best night of my life, because in that moment, I met my soulmate, you.

After this, I was hoping to see you again or at least talk to you again.

We started to hang out more and started to get to know each other, I was hoping you were not like the other guys I have dealt with and who have left me brokenhearted, but I knew deep down inside that you were not like them, you had a pure heart. A heart that saved me from my darkness and brought the light back into my life. You make me feel beautiful, something that I had always had a hard time accepting. You tell me all the time how much you love and care about me, I know I always ask you if you are sure, but this is because of everything I have death with in life, I felt unloved and unwanted by all of my friends and just people around me in general. Always know that this is NOT your fault. I know I am hard to deal with and we have our downs like every other relationship, but I am thankful that God put you in my life, you truly did save me. The light in my eyes are back. Thank you for everything you have done for me, I appreciate you more than you know. You are always there with a tissue to wipe the tears that I shed and to make me smile and laugh. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

We have already been dating for a year and it has been the best year of my life. I cannot wait to spend many more years with you. I love you, babe.
