Love comes in many silhouettes and forms. For me its silhouette is a six-foot tall and a well-defined boy at the time. The form that love took on for me was a trivial Twitter "dm," sent to me the summer before our junior year.

We would text all day and throughout the night, never losing interest in each other. Once school had begun it was nearly silent, the texts were ongoing, but the intimate in person conversations were absent. Our routine was simple, we'd pass each other daily on the stairs merely to give a timid smile or a hasty look in the opposite direction. I began questioned myself, who is going to initiate the conversation first, will we ever speak in person?

It was time for me to gather all my courage and pull him up the stairs. From there sparked a new chapter in our relationship.

Love comes with many diverse challenges. However, love also rewards you with strength to get through the hardships.

Those initial three months together brought me a kind of happiness I never believed I would experience. You were the first ever to present me flowers and take me to a high school dance. With a blink of the eyes those joyful three months were coming to a major fork in the road. My family and I began to pack our house into moving boxes. Leaving my heart behind in your hands for safe keeping.

The first few months without you were rough and a little bumpy. There wasn't a day that past that I didn't believe in us. I knew we were strong and faithful to each other. It felt like time was moving in slow motion, Christmas break couldn't get here fast enough. Once Christmas break had arrived we got a taste of the love that was about to flourish.

Our relationship was merely defined by text and FaceTime, that was until graduation approached. Soon enough we were turning my home into your home. However, it didn't take long before you were gone again. Three months apart and our relationship was expressed through two phone calls and numerous letters.

We have had our own set of trials throughout our relationship, but these did not break us. Our challenges have only brought us closer, building us into stronger a couple. So strong that after four years together you made the decision to get on one knee and ask the question every girl dreams of hearing.

"Will you marry me?"
