--I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I am so thankful that God put you into my life--
--This is for the guy who stole my heart and my life hasn't been the same ever since--
Thank you so much for everything that you have done for me and continue to do. Before I met you, I was lost and wandering all alone. I had completely given up on love and I told myself that I was OK with being by myself for the rest of my life. Like most people, I had that one relationship that broke me. I never knew what it was like to be loved because everyone that I had ever dated before only cared about themselves. I never really had a "relationship" if you will. It was more of a texting relationship where if they needed me, I was there. Then it comes to a point where they don't need you and then they just throw you away. It really hurts when you give your all to someone and it isn't appreciated. I can't say that it was all their fault though, because I made my share of mistakes. I would always go back to the person that I thought "loved me." In reality, they just didn't want to be alone. In high school, you're still growing up, you haven't even found yourself yet, and yet we all get caught up in searching for someone else to make us feel whole. There are people who find their future husband/wife in high school, and some of them workout, but most of them don't. Most people don't find themselves until college. Some people don't find themselves until they are graduating, and some people never find themselves. But that is okay. The important thing is to never look for your worth in someone else.
The only person that I ever found that didn't leave me feeling alone and hopeless was God. God loved me and he had a plan for me. Just when I had given up on love, I met someone. At first, I was just concerned about the first date. The first time I was going to meet them was very nerve-wracking. I wasn't concerned about anything long term. I just wanted to feel that love again. Little did I know that as soon as I saw them for the first time that God would whisper, "That's the one." I was completely blown away by how amazing it felt to find someone so incredible. For the first time in my life, when I said I love you, I truly felt that my heart was complete. My life hasn't been the same ever since then.
You never know what God has planned for your life. While I was dealing with a broken heart from a bad relationship, God sent me my soul mate. It was hard at first to not push them away because I had never known that kind of love before. I had never known what it was like to look like a complete mess and have someone tell me that I looked beautiful. They know all of my flaws and still love me the same. It is still hard to wrap my head around someone so great, but here I am a year later and still head over heels. For once in my life, my future makes sense. For once in my life, I know I did something right. God placed this blessing in my life, and for that, I have every reason to be grateful.
Thank you for loving me for me, and not asking for anything more than that. You are my best friend. My other half. My present and my future. With you, the past doesn't matter. Here's to you and here's to me, cause this love is meant to be.
