About a year ago I barely knew your name, but one thing was for sure, I was certain I wanted to know it better. Who knew I would fall so hard, so fast for someone during my freshman year of college? I definitely did not think I would, but then I met you. Since then my life has been a whirlwind of happiness.

Dad always told me as a little girl that I could only date someone that would treat me like the princess I am, and well… it took a couple of Toads and bumps along the road, but I have found my Frog Prince.

From the first time I met you, you instantly made an impact on my life and here are a few things I love about you – some things I love about us.

• How you are not only my boyfriend but my absolute best friend.
• The way you hold my hand, locking your fingers in between mine and gently rubbing my hand with your thumb.
• The way you tell me how I always look like the prettiest girl in the world, even though I definitely am not.
• The way we just love being in each other’s company, no matter what we’re doing together.
• The way we make each other laugh. At the silliest, dumbest things – if one of us laughs, so does the other.
• How comfortable I’ve come to feel around you. You’ve seen me cry, you’ve seen me at my best, and you’ve seen me at my silliest, and yet your love has never ceased to make me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
• How we have been together for basically a year, but our love for each other has not weakened in the slightest.
• How I personally can feel myself fall more and more in love with you every time I see you.
• The way you only have eyes for me, despite how many other guys act these days.
• How you understand and encourage my love for dogs by sending me pictures and videos of puppies almost daily.
• The way you love introducing me to your friends and family – it makes me feel so special.
• How I catch you just staring at me and smiling, only for you to say “Nothing, you’re just so beautiful”
• The way you shower me with kisses whenever you get the chance.

Through my previous relationships, it became evident that I was just not mentally nor physically ready for a serious relationship yet. I was simply too young and dating just because everyone else was.

You have come to show me that there is a loophole in today’s twisted hook-up culture, and there really are some amazing guys out there – you. I will forever be curious as to why me, how did I get so lucky to stumble upon crossing paths with you.

Whatever the reasoning is behind it, I am beyond happy and grateful that I did meet you. So here’s to an endless amount of days spent by your side, creating new memories and reminiscing on old ones.

I love you more. Forever and always - my Prince Charming.
