"There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind." - C.S. Lewis
As I stepped into our friendship, I entered with caution. A broken heart is a tough thing to fix and I was still working on taping back the pieces. You accepted and understood with your sweet smile and tender touch, a few of the things that I've grown to love about you. You immediately knew, "We just go together".
Being the girl that always falls too hard, I was terrified to give myself away once again but you still pursued, thank goodness. You picked up the pieces and have slowly put them back into place. In the craziness that surrounds us, you have become my sanity. In the darkness, you've become sunshine and what I look forward to in life. I look forward to every day of life with you. I look forward to the good times and the bad, because, we just go together.
I have completely fallen for you. Everything you say, everything you do, everything you are, and are yet to be. You're my first thought in the morning, my last thought at night, and almost every thought in between. I knew I had fallen for you as I sat and listened to you talk about us taking our first road trip together. It made me thankful for all of the heart wrenching break ups that led to that moment, in that restaurant, holding your hand as you talked about our future adventures. In that realization, you took away all the pain and I felt whole once again. Because I knew, we just go together.
Thank you for coming into my life and deciding to stay. Thank you for helping me make the tough decisions and supporting me, even if I make the wrong one. I had given up on many things before you came along. I wish everyday that I could find a way to show you how thankful I am for you, but I don't think I'd be able to do it. Thank you for believing in me when I didn't even believe in myself. Thank you for showing me what love is and continuing to do so everyday. If I have you, I have all I need and want. You've opened my eyes and my heart to many things I've never even thought about. You've helped mold and change my mindset for the better and helped me understand what it really means to be a strong, independent woman who doesn't need someone, but wants them anyway. You've made me realize that it is okay to be alone, but I don't have to be. I can be my own person with you by my side, supporting my steps and picking me back up when I stumble. You've made me realize how important work and school is, then learning to balance the two together while staying sane! You set goals for yourself, which inspire me to do better to keep up with you. So, thank you for making me thankful for all the sadness that led me to where I am as a woman today, because it has led me to you. You were really all I needed.
Because, we just go together.
