It’s crazy how in high school you say you love someone. You go to school and think about them, and your first kiss is what you see as the best thing in the world.

You feel like you’re head over heels. Then comes the breakup.

You feel like your whole world is falling apart. Like the days you spent with them were such a waste of time, and you cry.

Then you move on, and you start your new scary life outside of high school. Then you realize how much different things are.

Life is different, love is different, and your feelings mature.

They mature so much that the next relationship hits you a little harder. Maybe too hard. Again you feel like you’re in love. Something different this time.

Yet again, you’re dumped, alone, and feeling like you will never find the right person.

Continuing through life and different struggles you continue to wish you could find someone to share these challenges with.

Then he’s there. Someone you never expected to come along, and the feelings hit you like a literal bus.

I never knew that saying to be true until I met him.

You smile at random times in the day thinking about him.

It becomes cheesy love that you thought to be fake, but it’s so real.

It doesn’t feel completely different than the others, yet.

Then he proposes.

It’s beautiful and special and something you never thought you’d experience.

You go through the honeymoon phase, and then you fight, many many times.

Things get hard and you feel like it can’t get any harder.

So you sit alone and think, like us women are good at doing... sometimes too much. You think about everything and let it all get to your head, then you smile.

You smile because who doesn’t have problems, and look who you get to share it with. Finally.

I’m in love and I finally know what that feels like.

I share my days when I’m sick and snot running down my face with him.

My days where I’m sad and emotional because it’s that time of month, and I take it out on him for no reason, I share with him.

I share my maybe “too happy” times when I get excited over nothing and just want someone to love on.

I am so happy now.

Thank you for being there for me through good and bad. As cliche as it is, it’s rewarding to have you save me.

Thank you for working so hard everyday just to provide for us.

Thank you for being the guy I can lean on when things get hard.

Thank you for believing in me and letting me tell you all my crazy ideas.

Thank you. Thank you for being you. You’re amazing and so special.

It’s amazing to love someone and share things with them, to share life with them.

I love you dear, forever.
