There are so many ways I'd like to start this, but I'm honestly not sure which route I should take for this. I'd like to start by saying that I love you, but that's basic and overused.

Maybe I could start by saying that even though it's 2 in the morning and I'm watching you do your homework, even though I should be doing my own and that I have to be up at 8 for class, I can't keep my eyes off you. All I can do is sit here and think that you're one of the most beautiful souls I've ever met in my life and lucky doesn't even begin to cover me being with you.

In my eyes, everything about you is perfection. Even your flaws are imperfect perfection to me. I even love the things about you that you hate, like your eyebrows or your skin. I'd lay and count your freckles like they were stars and constellations in the night sky if you'd let me.

Or maybe I could start this by letting you know that you're my inspiration and my motivation for so much that I do. If I didn't have you, I honestly don't know what I'd do. I'd probably be a miserable heap somewhere complaining to my cat about how much life sucks right now and then continue to muddle down the same painful paths that I know all too well.

There's been times I've thought about giving up on something, but you're always there to give me that extra push forward. You help keep my head above water when the seas get rough, you're my cheerleader when I need one the most. I couldn't do this without you.

I could probably start by saying I love seeing you happy and I'd support you through thick and thin. I love watching you pursue your passions and I love watching your eyes light up when you do what you love. The look on your face when you figure something is priceless to me and the way your smile lights up the room when your seriously happy makes everything we went through to get there worth it.

Anytime you start to doubt yourself I take it personally. Kind of like I'm not doing my job as your girlfriend. Like I failed at doing my part in supporting you when you support me so much. I just want you to know that no matter how many times you think you've failed or that you're not good enough, you have never truly failed at anything and you are more than good enough.

I really could start this off by saying I appreciate everything you do for me. All the snacks you bring me, all the late night drives we take because I can't sleep, all the extra trips you make for me if I need something. I remember how you go out of your way for me when I'm having a bad day and I know how hard you try to get the smallest smile out of me. I appreciate everything you do for me. Nothing you do goes unnoticed, I pinky promise.

Starting this whole thing off by saying that you mean the world to me is just as basic as starting it off as I love you. It's generic and overused, but it's true. You do mean the world to me, more than I could ever articulate into words. More than I could ever begin to write for you.

There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about everything you do for me and everything that you are to me. I'd tell you more often, but I never know where to start.

I love you more,

your girlfriend.
