I do not know where to start, you pulled me out of one of the darkest places I have ever been. You saved me from myself, which is something that I never thought that I would need to be saved. I was always the person who would would save others before I had ever even thought about saving myself.

You found me at a time where the only thing stopping me from losing it was keeping myself busy. Because I thought that the busier I was the less time there would be for me to sit there and think about every detail that was going on in my life. I remember that there were nights where I would sit there and my mind would wander and I would sit there and all the sudden my eyes would fill with tears. I would sit there and make no noise while the tears would run down my face, hit my pillow case. I am sure that my pillow felt like I was waterboarding it because the tears would never stop. There was something missing in my life and I could not find out what it was, I would sit there for hours on end trying to figure out what could be the missing piece. I was going to college, I had a bright future ahead of me and the sky was the minimum limit that I could reach. But still night after night there was something missing that I could not figure out what it was.

Then I met you… I never thought that I would feel myself be truly happy again. I knew that people had talked about it and what it means to be happy, where you feel like your heart might explode and your cheeks hurt from smiling. I had never known that this would be possible for me to ever feel like I this, all my life I felt like I had a 100-pound weight holding me down. I told myself I was happy with my life, I would lie to myself every night and tell myself that I was happy. When I met you I could feel the softness in your eyes. You truly made me feel like I could be happy and I had never known this before. Pound by pound you lifted off me off the ground. That empty feeling of not knowing what was missing in my life was gone, I had found the missing puzzle piece in my life.

I cannot thank you for all you have done, you saved me from myself and I cannot thank you for all you do. You wrapped me up in your strong arms and carried me to a place that I did not know existed. You saved a girl who felt like she was nothing and showed her that she means everything to people. You opened my eyes and showed me that I can be who I want to be and I do not need to be afraid of my own shadow. You saved me from pushing everyone out because my heart was heavy and not even caring anymore. I cannot thank you enough, you saved me from a time where I felt like I had done so much wrong in my life and did not deserve to have someone in my life like you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because without your love in my life I would never be here where I am today, writing you this letter of thankfulness. I would not have found out what it felt like to look at someone and know that they are your person. You have completed me and made me feel like I am becoming a better person because of you.

Thank you for making me want to be a better person. You have pushed me to become a person who I have wanted to be. You have always been there for me and you have been a shoulder for when I am feeling down. Thank you for being there for me to always put a smile on my face, you have no clue how many times you have made me smile until my cheeks hurt. Thank you for everything you have ever done, I have never been able to tell you how much you have meant to me. I love you so much, thank you for the best time of my life, here are to many more memories.

Sincerely,
