As a kid, I never pictured who I would marry or who I would fall in love with. I feel that most little girls do that when they are younger. I don't know that I ever imagined what my life would be like when I was 21. One thing I never imagined was that I would fall in love with someone at the age of 16 and be with them for as long as I have been with my boyfriend. Everyone has their idea of the perfect girl or the perfect guy. My ideas have been shaped or mold to fit the way that my boyfriend is and how he always will be. He's changed a lot since I have met him (I mean, we met in 7th grade and now we're 21). Things between us and in our relationship has changed. He has changed me in a few subtle ways. I like to think that I've changed him as well.
My boyfriend is not perfect, but he is perfect for me. He treats me the way a man should treat a woman. He makes me feel beautiful and makes me feel special all the time. He always makes me laugh and makes sure that I have everything I need to succeed and does what he can to help me. I recently had an interview and if it weren't for him, I probably would've thrown up on the way to the interview. He makes sure I am in the best state of mind and he definitely keeps me calm and makes sure that my head is on my shoulders. He keeps me grounded and that's why he's perfect.
My boyfriend is not perfect, but he is perfect for me. He does what I want to do most of the time, instead of ditching me and doing what he wants. I want to go ride bikes, we go ride bikes. I want to stay home and watch TV, we stay home and watch TV (usually I watch TV and he plays xbox). He never questions my decisions on what I want to do... Well, sometimes he makes me rethink the decisions I've made and helps me make a better decision, but that's okay! He watches movies I want to watch and if he wants to watch something, I will watch it. Over Christmas Break, he basically had to force me to watch the Star Wars movies. I had never seen them, I was very resistant, and I did NOT have a desire to watch them. What did he do? He made me watch them and now I love them. We make compromises on the things we want to do and usually, it works out in our favor. He does the things I want and I do what he wants, and that's why he's perfect.
My boyfriend is not perfect, but he's perfect for me. He pushes me to be the best I can be. He strives to be his best and does his best at everything he puts his mind to. Seeing him do this makes me want to do the same. He pushes me. He pushes my buttons and makes me do things I don't want to do, just because it will make me a better person. We have started going to the gym together (with our friends who are also a couple) and there are some days where I just want to give up and I don't want to go. He makes me go and he pushes me, because he knows how much I hate the way I look. He doesn't hate how I look, but he wants me to feel confident and better about myself. He tells me I'm beautiful no matter what, but I never feel that way. He pushes me and that's why he's perfect.
My boyfriend is not perfect, but he's perfect for me. He loves my family. I love his family. He has no problem talking to my family, hanging out with my family, or doing anything with my family that requires him to not be with his all the time. I am the oldest cousin and he loves my little cousins. I have a younger sister and a younger brother, he loves them both as though they are his siblings. I love his family as if they were my own. They all do their best to make me feel comfortable around them and make me feel like I am truly a part of their family. I hope he feels the same about my family and I hope they want him to feel like he is a part of our family, even if we aren't married. He (and his family) make me feel extra loved, and that's why he's perfect.
My boyfriend is not perfect, but he's perfect for me. Since the day we started dating, he has supported me. I have had a lot happen since we started dating and everything that has happened, he's been there. I got in 2 car accidents, had a great-grandparent die, all the way through high school, started college, changed my major, and multiple other things. Through all of this, he has been the person I could rely on. I could cry and yell and he would sit and listen to it all. He is my biggest fan and my greatest supporter. Every time I apply for a job or decide to make a big decision, he pumps me up. He makes me feel like I got the job or make the right decision before I even know the results of anything. He supports me and that's why he's perfect.
Lastly, I want to address him directly. Thank you. Thank you for all the money you've spent, the hours you've put in, and the way you are to me. You have done more for me in the last 6 years and I could not imagine being without you. You took me to see my absolute favorite singer in concert. You drove to another state, stayed in a hotel, and woke up and drove all day just for me to see Sia. You have taken me to multiple Colts games (even if you didn't pay for all of them).
You continue to support all my decisions. I watched to change my major and become a teacher, you supported that even though I did not think you would. Thank you for spending so many hours trying to make me feel completely beautiful. I have more confidence now than when we started dating and 99% of that is because of you. You are an amazing human and I am truly blessed. Thank you for reciprocating my feelings the day I finally told you that I liked you. Thank you for loving me and just for simply being you. I love you so much.
My boyfriend is not perfect, but he is definitely perfect for me.
