In November of 2014, things had gotten really bad for me- I felt as if my world was spiraling downward in front of my own eyes. I asked myself every every day, “when will things get better?” To my very unexpected surprise, the answer was extremely soon. In January of 2015, you walked by me in the smalltown gas station and bought a drink like you always did. But this time, it was different. I stared through the glass window as you started your black Mustang GT (which was in flawless condition, might I add), turned right out of the parking lot, and drove away.

We hung out once, and we hit it off immediately. I found myself trying to find even the most ridiculous reason to send you a text message because face it- I could not get enough of you. Everything you said was intersting, every joke you told me was hilarious, and every compliment you gave me was extremely sweet. I was falling hard for you.

Let’s fastforward to July 9, 2015. At around 2:00 AM you asked me to be yours, and I said yes. I have never been so sure of anything else in my entire lifetime. I’m very indecisive, and you know that. I can barely keep my furniture arranged the same way for as little as a month. When it comes to you, though, I want everything to stay the way it is- everything is absolutely perfect.

Each and every day, I wake up next to you and I think to myself, “how on Earth was I lucky enough to find him?” The answer is very, very lucky. You’ve seen me at my worst, and still, you’ve never left me.

Sometimes, we fight. Sometimes, we get mad at each other. But at the end of the day, I need you to know just how much I love you. For every bad time, there are ten amazing times. You always know how to make me smile even when I don’t feel like it. You’ve brought out the best in me and you’ve always taken care of me. I don’t think you’ll ever understand this, but to me, you’re absolute perfection.

I need you to know just how thankful I am for you. You’ve always taken me for who I am, and you love me more and more every single day. Not a single thing you do for me goes unnoticed. From all of the times you’ve picked me up when I was breaking down, taking care of me when I’m sick, and spoiling me like a princess, I know that I want this for the rest of my life. You’ve always said that in the end, it’s always going to me us. We’ve talked about our future together and every single time, I become even more excited. You’re everything I could have ever hoped for, and you continue to amaze me every day. I love you more than you know.

So I guess what I want to say is thank you. Thank you for always being there, thank you for going above and beyond for me in every situation, and thank you for taking my sadness away when I felt so hopeless. I need you to know that when you’re feeling sad or lonely, you can always come to me. I’ve been here for you for this long, and I can promise you that I always will be. When you smile, I smile. When you cry, I cry. I feel whatever you feel because without you, I’m only a bunch of loose pieces. You make me whole; you complete me. I could write to you about everything you do that I’m thankful for, but theres one thank you that sums it all up: thank you for saving my life.
