To the one love of my life,
I don't even think I can express my love for you in 500 words. But I'll try.
You have always been there for me. Ever since the beginning of our relationship six years ago (has it really been six years??), you never let me down. I was worried in the beginning, as Mexican food can be quite dangerous and spicy, but you never have.
I remember the moment we met. I had just walked out of a high school competition, and my friend suggested that we hit up the local Chipotle. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. You knew, though. From the first bite, I was hooked. From then on, we were inseparable. I became obsessive, constantly wondering where you were, what you were doing, if you were thinking about me too.
There are so many things I have to thank you for. You gave me so much solace, so much comfort. How could something that had so many calories be so gosh darn good? You the bomb, you the man, if Beyonce were a food, you would be Beyonce.
Thank you for always being yourself.
You never even had to impress me, you just were. I could make you any way I wanted, any time. Not feeling chicken as my meat of choice today? Try some steak, or barbacoa, whatever you like. I love you no matter what.
Thank you for giving me friends.
Not literally, but the talks I have had at Chipotle have been some of the best with some of the best friends ever. There is nothing a good Chipotle therapeutic session can't fix.
Thank you for feeding me.
This one's literal, you fed me countless meals back and forth between high school activities after school when I didn't have time to rush home for dinner, you kept me going. Anytime I needed you after a long hard day, you were there.
Thank you for being there when no one was.
On those lonely nights when I had no boyfriend, no friends picking up the phone, and my dog rejecting my cuddles, you cuddled with me. Whoever said dog was a man's best friend never had a steak burrito.
Thank you for paying for my meal sometimes, the way no boy ever would.
That's right. I had the Chipotle in. We were together so often your family got to know me and would pay for you and I to eat together. Knowing people in high places, I'm telling ya, it pays off.
Sure, we've had ups and downs, and by that I mean your prices. When you raised your steak prices, I thought I might have to give you up. Being a broke college student is rough when you're all I can think about. I almost lost you. But I couldn't stay away.
I love you, it's as simple as that. You've seen me at my best and at my worst. You didn't make me feel like I had to be anything other than myself. It was just you and me, kid. I don't know what I'd do without ya, and I hope I never have to find out.
