To The Boy Who Mended My Heart,
I want to start of first by saying thank you for teaching me so many things about myself that I wouldn't have known otherwise. Thank you for showing me how beautiful I am. Thank you for showing me how loved I can be. Thank you for showing me my self worth. Thank you for making me smile and laugh until my cheeks ached with exhaustion. Thank you for understanding things aren't always easy for me. Thank you for being a best friend to confide in and my biggest fan when I need a supporter.
Before you, I was lost and hopeless, defeated and angry, broken and scared. You didn't know the old me, but I was sad and desperate for attention from someone who never made enough time for me or put in any effort. I tried so hard to make something work with someone who never really loved me as much as I thought. You wouldn't believe what it's like to realize you're living a lie with someone you thought you could trust. I can't remember a time I wasn't crying out of frustration or blowing off assignments for school. I changed my hair, makeup, and even some of my clothes, not wanting the memories that came with them.
Then I met you and my world turned right-side up again.
You brought back the girl in me I stopped being. You made me secure in knowing I am a damn good person who didn't deserve what was done to me. You made me see there's more to life than focusing on the past and not to be scared because it won't repeat itself. You made realize that God ensures everything happens for a reason and that I was protected and nothing could hurt me. You made me feel happier, cherished, and looked after. But most importantly, you made me see I could be loved. Of course, I'm loved by my family and even my friends, but a boyfriend or girlfriend is someone who chooses to like you and then ultimately (and hopefully) fall in love with you for the good and the bad. You made me see I can be loved for everything that I am and that there's no one quite like me.
I'm lucky enough to say that you continue to do these things each and every day whether we're together or apart. You're everything I could've imagined. Thank you for changing my world.
With all my love,
Your Very Blessed Girlfriend
