A wall is a fortification that was used to protect a city, town or other settlement from potential aggressors. In ancient to modern times, they were used to enclose settlements

In my case, I build them to keep people out.

Until one day I finally found someone who just made life simple. I could feel myself becoming more trusting, carefree, and just so much happier. Eventually, the emotional walls that I surrounded myself with were basically gone.

First things first, I need to say thank you. I know I’m not the easiest person to deal with a lot of the time, so thank you for not giving up and instead learning to deal with me, even when I made it difficult. It took a while, but I have finally felt my heart truly open up to you, the extremely special person I have in front of me. I know the idea of a perfect relationship is completely unrealistic, but I do believe that some people are very suitable for one another. I feel that, in you, I have found a person who is perfectly suited for me.

Thank you for always having my back. Trust me, I am completely aware I am not that simplest person to handle. I have many flaws that have come to the surface in the last few months, my anxious personality being one of them. You have learned how to deal with me in times of overwhelming anxiety. You know that there may not be anything you can say to help the situation, but just being there to give me a hug is exactly what I need. I know it’s nearly impossible to understand sometimes, but you have been able to bear with me through it, and for that, I owe you a thousand thanks.

Thank you for making me a better me, by showing me that not everyone is out there to hurt me. I truly believe that you are the best part about me. There have been few times in my life that I have been able to put as much trust in a person as I have in you, but in the end, I got hurt. As you know,with my trust comes all of me. You have broken down walls and made me feel vulnerable in the best way. You have shown me that I could have strong, genuine feelings, in addition to complete trust in a person. This is a thought that I have always battled with, never knowing if I was capable of being that vulnerable. When I’m with you, I feel like a little kid and an adult all at the same time, and there is no better feeling. You have become my best friend in such a short period of time, and in the meantime, you have given me the opportunity to fall for you.

In other words, thank you for being you.
