Dear Sharkey,

Today marks that day that we've been together for a year and a half. You know that I'm not the type to always rave about our relationship in public, but I figured that now would be a good time. We met back in September 2014. You were funny and easy to get along with. Plus you saved me from that tree! We became good friends and eventually went on our first date on Oct. 11, 2014. It seems like so far away now, but I'll never forget it.

As we were walking downtown to get to the restaurant I couldn't help but think of how the date was going to turn out. Once we got into the restaurant would we sit there in silence or have a lot of stuff to talk about. But thankfully it was the latter. We talked the whole time and never ran out of something to say. That's when I first realized that I felt completely comfortable with you. After that, I guess you could say that the rest is history. But for me it's much more than that. You accept me for who I am , and not who you want me to be. You love me regardless of my flaws, and I love you in spite of yours. With you, things are different. I know that’s silly and cliché to say, but it’s true. With you I laugh longer and I love harder, and for now, I can’t imagine my life without you.

There are times when we fight and don’t see eye to eye, because obviously the Spurs are better than the Lakers. But you always manage to make me laugh when all I can think about is being upset with you. I know that sometimes I can be hard to handle, but you do it anyway. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes you’re hard to handle as well. You can be stubborn and want to be right, but it’s okay because we know that I’m always right! Your thoughtfulness is contagious and I love how you can light up a room, and make everyone laugh. You’re the guy that can be friends with pretty much anyone and you give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I’m a more guarded person but you’ve taught me how to let down my walls sometimes. It’s crazy to think that we’ve only been together for a year and a half, when sometimes it feels like forever. Sometimes people will tell us to not get comfortable with each other because we’re young and bound to break up soon. They might be correct, although I hope not, but regardless, I’m going to continue to enjoy the amazing moments that I have with you. When we go through hard times we know that we can rely on each other for support, but we also know when to give each other space. You have shown me true patience and continued to love me no matter how many times I get upset for no reason. There’s no other person that I’d want to be with right now. I know that we’ve been placed in each other’s lives at this time for some reason. I can only hope that we’ll stay in each other’s lives forever.

Love,

Kit-Kat
