First of all, let me express to you how special you are to me. I've never been truly vulnerable to someone before, but you have made me feel safe enough to let you break down the walls I've built for the sole purpose of guarding my heart.

Thank you for not giving up on me because I know I'm not easy to deal with on a daily basis. I'm entrusting you with my heart because you have given me so many reasons to believe that you can take care of it. You are easy-going, well-respected, and trustworthy. You are someone I can imagine "doing life" with by my side.

Falling in love is not something that I take lightly. I've been disappointed by too many people in my life to just throw out the "L" word. Love is more than an emotion. Love is a choice. Fighting for someone every day is how love works.

I will not give up on you whether it be in your personal or professional life. I will always pursue you and put your needs above my own. You are the most important person in my life and I will cherish you always, whether we work out or not. Maybe you don't reciprocate my feelings, and that's fine. Life is too short for me to hide how I feel about you for the sake of mere pride.

I do not show my emotions easily. I have been broken down too many times by people who were actually supposed to be in my life to help put me back together. Giving you the most sacred part of my body is the hardest thing I've ever done. I know I can never completely have my heart back once you take it from me.

I am believing that God has led you to me and has allowed me to feel the way I do for a purpose. I want our relationship to be centered around Jesus Christ. We will have hard times, but know I will never give up on you. I will strive to bring you closer to the Lord with encouraging words and acts of kindness. I cannot promise you that I will be anything close to perfect. I am not the most beautiful or intelligent girl you will ever meet, but I have chosen you to love.

I want to take care of you during your best and worst days. I want to be there for you during every lonely night and exciting moment. If you decide to give your heart to me in return, I know we can make wonderful things happen together. All I want is to have someone to share life's most precious moments with and I choose you. Most of us have less than one hundred years to live on this earth and I'm not going to waste any time hiding how I feel about you.

Do not be afraid of the future. Be excited about it and embrace the changes as they come. Take a risk and be brave enough to accept the consequences if there are any. I will always believe in you. Thank you for giving me a reason to open my heart to someone again. You'll never know how much I appreciate you in my life.

With all of my heart,
A very optimistic girl
