The truth is, I need to say thank you. I know I’m not the easiest person to deal with a lot of the time, so thank you for not giving up and instead learning to deal with me, even when I made it difficult. It took a few months, but I have finally felt my heart truly open up to you, the extremely special person I have in front of me. I know the idea of a perfect relationship is completely unrealistic, but I do believe that some people are very suitable for one another. I feel that, in you, I have found a person who is perfectly suited for me.

Thank you for being trustworthy.

I am not always willing to put my trust in other people. I put up walls subconsciously that are sometimes seemingly impossible to break down. Before growing in this relationship, I can admit, I was a very jealous person. But once I gained confidence in our relationship, that jealousy dwindled. Over time, you have continued to prove that I can afford to invest my trust in you.

Thank you for sticking with me.

I am fully aware that there are times that I may not be the simplest person to handle. I have many flaws that have come to the surface in the last few months, my anxious personality being one of them. You have learned how to deal with me in times of overwhelming anxiety. You know that there may not be anything you can say to help the situation, but just being there to give me a hug is exactly what I need. I know it’s nearly impossible to understand sometimes, but you have been able to bear with me through it, and for that, I owe you a thousand thanks.

Thank you for breaking down my walls.

This is something that I'm not even sure you were aware of doing. There have been few times in my life that I have been able to put as much trust in a person as I have in you. With my trust comes the rest of me. You have broken down walls and made me feel vulnerable in the best way. You have shown me that I could have strong, genuine feelings, in addition to complete trust in a person. This is a thought that I have always battled with, never knowing if I was capable of being that vulnerable. When I’m with you, I feel like a little kid and an adult all at the same time, and there is no better feeling. You have become my best friend in such a short period of time, and in the meantime, you have given me the opportunity to fall for you.

There are those that say college relationships are irrelevant in the grand scheme of life. I could not disagree more. During the time I’ve spent with you over the past months, I have been happier than I ever knew I could be. Obviously, no one can tell the future, so there is no saying for sure that this will last forever, but the lessons I have learned, even up until now, are sure to last a lifetime. You have taught me how to open up to another person as fully as I have, and that is something I will forever be grateful for. Naturally, I can't help but be optimistic, though, when it comes to our future.

Thank you for being my person.
