To My Soon-To-Be-Forever,

Every girl falls in love, and every girl will have her first heartbreak. Little do we know, we can find the right guy who will take that heartbreak and pain away. We just have to let that right guy in and break down all our walls that we have built up. I’m so glad I did.

Over six years ago, I first fell in love during my freshman year of high school. We dated for almost three years, but it had to come to an end; it was for the best. I needed to get out of that relationship. I would take him back over and over again after he hurt me. I felt like I was a fool and never deserved anything good, nor was I close to God or my family during those three years. I put my ex-boyfriend before anyone else, even before me. My priorities were so messed up, and I honestly didn’t know who I was, nor did my friends. I was a crazy, controlling girlfriend that was constantly worrying and stressing myself out 24/7. Truth be told, he made me that way.

After all that, I put my all of my trust in God and sure enough, he had an amazing plan for me.

Freshman year of college, I met a guy who quickly became my best friend. We both had crushes on each other, but it took us forever to realize it. I was so scared to let him in. I had walls built up so high. By the time I let him in, I knew at that moment that I was in love, and that really scared me.

We started dating at the end of spring semester that year. He was going to go back home in Tennessee for the summer. Little did I know, he wasn’t going to come back here for school in the fall. He transferred to a college in Kentucky to play baseball. I was so sad, yet really happy for him. I was worried that this new relationship wasn’t going to last, but God had a plan for us. This relationship is still working out today, and I couldn’t be more blessed or any happier.

I just want to say thank you to my genuine boyfriend for telling me how amazing I am and constantly reminding me that I am beautiful. Thanks for showing me how to love and be loved the right way. Thank you for always believing in me when I didn’t think I could believe in myself. You're my number one fan, and I will always be yours.

Thank you for everything you do for me, and for always putting up with my crazy self. There is no way that I could imagine my life without you in it. Thanks for trying to take care of me when I feel ill, playing with my hair until I fall asleep, and doing things for me even when I don’t ask. I never thought I could be this blessed.

Thank you for being my number one best friend. There is never a dull moment when we are together. You make me laugh and smile constantly! Thanks for singing with me to the top of our lungs during our car rides together and always out doing me on the rap songs.

There are so many things I could thank you for. I could go on and on all day if it came down to that. You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me, whether you believe it or not. I honestly cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me. After all the arguments and fights we may have, I never have a doubt, and I know I still want to marry you at the end of each and every day.

I was a wreck when we met, yet you changed that around and made me so happy! I was so scared to love again, but you broke down all my walls that I had built. And all I have to say is, thank you. Thank you for doing that! This love that we share is unbreakable; you’re the other half of me. I’m so thankful for you and this relationship we share.

You make me want to be a better person. I want to be closer to my family and to make every second count with them. I’ve never been this close to God in my whole life since I’ve been with you. My love for God has grown, and I have grown so much in his faith. I’ve prayed and prayed to God to find a guy like you to love me for who I am, and I’m so incredibly blessed to have found you.

I don't know how I got through this life before I met you, but I'm so thankful that we are on this journey together. Honey, thank you for making a promise to me and for always keeping it, I can’t wait to spend forever with you.

Sincerely,

Your Soon-to-be Forever
