As we explore the final installment of my three-part series, I want to refer you once again to the article that inspired me to write this: We Only Fall in Love with 3 People in Our Lifetime- Each One for a Specific Reason

To learn about my first love and the lessons it taught me, To My First Love, You Deserve More is the place to be.

To hear about my heartbreaking second love and how I learned to love myself, To My Second Love, I Deserve More is the place to learn this lesson.

Now, on to my third love.

To my dearest third love,

You are everything I've ever wanted, everything I've ever dreamed of in a person, and so much more. You bring sunshine to me, even on my darkest days. You make me consistently strive to become a better person; you make me a better person.

You were the most unexpected miracle, the biggest blessing, and the person I had been praying to meet for many years.

It was as if the stars had aligned and we were destined to be together. It was so much more than just fate. It was a sign that all of my unanswered prayers had been fulfilled. When we met, I could have never imagined we would be where we are today. But from that moment on, I've known you were the right one.

It was instant chemistry from that first moment. It was as if we had known each other our whole lives. As if there was a piece of me missing that I didn't even know was gone until I met you. I had finally found my other half, my soulmate, my best friend, my third love, all in one person.

It was definitely unforeseen but completely true. We are like puzzle pieces that fit perfectly, creating a beautiful image together.

And loving you is so easy. It's almost so easy that it doesn't feel real. Being with you is just like living in a fairy-tale, pure and genuine. You love me for who I am, flaws and all, and you never let me forget that. You never let my doubts or fears scare you away. You care for me in a way I didn't know existed.

And I love you just the same.

Being with you and loving you produces pure joy and love in me, a feeling which I didn't know could even exist to this level.

At first, I was hesitant, with you being so much older than I, but it didn't take very long for me to be convinced that this was true. To be in a relationship that exceeds all of the dreams I had aspired makes me cherish our companionship even more.

You've allowed me to become the person that I want to be. You've helped me grow as an individual. You've created a relationship in which I feel secure and safe to be who I am. So, thank you.

Thank you for never giving up on me, even within the hardest trials.

Thank you for showing me what unconditional love is, and teaching me how to love without restrictions.

Thank you for being my person. For never letting me go to bed angry or feeling unloved. For always being there to lift me up and support me when I have fallen. For encouraging me and pushing me to be the very best and supporting all my dreams.

Thank you for loving me for who I am, and not for who someone else wants me to be.

There are so many other things that I could thank you for, ranging from monument moments to small memories, but no words could do you justice.

You've ignited a fire in me when I thought there wasn't even a spark.

You've not only picked up all of my abandoned pieces, but you've shown me that I am not damaged goods, but beautiful broken. I am more than just my story. I am worthy of love.

And as you successfully execute effortless love towards me, I only hope that I can reciprocate that love to you.

I hope that I can show you how perfect your imperfections are, how beautifully broken you are, how amazing of a man you truly are.

I aspire to push you to be the best of yourself because you have so much potential and you deserve nothing less than the world.

I wish to clothe you in love and happiness just as you have done for me.

I pray to be everything that you have been for me, and I promise to try my hardest to make that prayer come true because you've made all of mine come true.

So, to my wonderful third love, thank you for everything you do for me on a daily basis. But most of all, thank you for being you.

Always yours,

Your forever love.
