Getting close to my senior year in high school, I had been let down so many times by guys. Whether it was a male who was supposed to be a role model for me or one who made me think he cared about me when he really did not care at all, disappointment had creeped into my life several times. Guy after guy, time after time, I had been let down. Not just by guys who were potential relationship partners, but guys who were supposed to be family leaders.
I was beginning to wonder if my heart could take any more letdowns. Then you walked into my life. Man, when I first met you, I never knew how much of an impact you would eventually have on me. You treated me like a princess, a queen even! Slowly, you were picking up the pieces to my heart and carefully putting them back together with care, love and understanding.
Wow at how much you care about me. I can see it when I look in your eyes, and I can feel it when your fingers are interlocked with mine. I can see it in the way you light up when you see me, and I can hear it when you are talking about us to someone else. You put my feelings, my opinions and my wants before yours, and I do not know how I got so lucky to have fallen in love with such a selfless guy.
The best thing about being in love with you? Knowing, without a shadow of a doubt, that you love me back. You never fail to show or tell me how much you love me. We have had our ups, and we have had some downs, but no matter how tough the situation, you always stick by my side to work things out. Thinking back on some of the things that you have endured for me assures me how much you love me. I may not ever understand why you love me so, but I sure do love that you love and understand me!
Your understanding. One of my favorite things about you. Even though you have mended my broken heart, I still feel broken at times. Memories from the past, my many emotions and things that are just beyond our relationship still get to me from time to time, but it never seems to make you love me any less. If I need to have an emotional breakdown and cry, your shoulder is always there for me. You understand that I am in pain, and even though you know you cannot make it disappear completely, you do your best to help me feel better and for that I am extremely grateful.
There are so many more wonderful attributes about you that I could write about, but if I tried to list them all, I would never stop writing. Thank you for loving me, for understanding me and for caring about me. Thank you for the endless hugs and kisses, and for being my best friend. I could not ask for a better one, so I thank God every day for sending you to me as a soulmate, lifelong partner and love of my life.
