To the man stole my heart and made me believe in love again, thank you. All my life I've been told nobody would ever love me, that I would never find anyone who would take me as I am. I was always told I have to change something about me. The day I met you, I thought it would be the same.

I'd be too much of this or too much of that. I figured eventually you'd get fed up. But it's been a year and a half now and every day you find new ways to show me you love me. Whether it be planning surprises for me behind my back with my dad or just looking at me when you think I can't see you.

After my last relationship, I never thought I'd be able to love again for the fear of getting hurt. I have been broken and used and abused and I thought I was done. To be honest I don't even know why I messaged you back that day when I could have just easily ignored the message you’d sent.

I guess something inside of me just went 'Well he seems pretty cool and let's just see where this goes.' From time to time I find myself worrying. Worrying that I'm getting annoying or worrying that you don't understand how much I love you or even know how much I love you. I'm so afraid every day that you're going to just up and leave because I got too much. My insecurities got too much.

I know I'm not easy to deal with. I can be worrisome. I can be annoying. I can be to the point where I have anxiety attacks seven times a day. And yet you've seen those sides of me and never once made me feel bad for them. You have taken me as I am and never made me feel like I have to change myself to conform to your beliefs.

You allow me to be myself without fear of persecution surrounding me. You have given me a sense of self and a sense of faith.

I have so much to thank you for every day and it feels like there is not enough time. I only hope that I get to spend a very long time with you. You may not be the one I end up marrying. In five years we may look at each other and say 'this just isn't working anymore' and go our separate ways.

But I pray every day that if God forbid we ever do that we end on good terms because I can not imagine my life without you anymore.

You have come into my life and changed so many things. You're so amazing and you don't even realize it. Sometimes I wish I could show you just how amazing you are without you looking at me like I'm insane. You are my hero. You're my Batman and you are my panda bear. You're everything I could've ever wanted or needed. And I love you. I will love you until the end of time itself.
