Sometimes you meet someone and you just connect. That happened on my second day at college, and ever since my life hasn't been the same. I met a guy who at first seemed to be someone I would be good friends with, but quickly enough something changed. I developed feelings for him, and luckily he felt the same way. I entered into a relationship that makes every day better. Here's to the guy who restored my faith in love.
To the Guy Who Restored my Faith in Love,
It hasn't been that long since we've gotten together, but in these two months, I've relearned what it means to love and be loved. As you know, I've had a pretty rough past when it came to relationships, something we have in common. It has made me question what love really is and if I'd ever find it. I had lost hope, but when I came to college I began believing that I could find love here. I didn't expect it to be for you when we first met, but within days I was hoping I could have the chance to love you. Crazily enough, you actually liked me too and I got the chance to begin something great. So far that's exactly what it's been.
You changed my world and the way I view things for the better. I started to be a pessimist when it came to love, but after being with you I know what really being loved feels like. You treat me in ways I've never been lucky enough to receive from someone else. I always know that you love me and I never face a doubt when it comes to us. I never knew what it felt like to actually be happy in a relationship all the time because I never have been. I've only ever been happy some of the time with people, but finally, I found someone who makes me happy almost all the time.
Our relationship is something I hold dear, and I hope for the brightest future possible for us. I know that there will come struggles-- I'm not impractical-- but I know we can make it through them. You're worth any struggle I have to handle, and I know you feel the same. We make a good team, and I'm glad I've gotten to be with you.
With you, I've slowly learned what it's like to actually be loved, and you have restored my faith in love. I have to thank you for that because it's good to have faith in love again. As a romantic, viewing love harshly is saddening, but you give me hope. I'm glad I got the chance to love you and be loved by you.
