When you meet the person you're suppose to meet; regardless of how long their stay lasts, you'll have moments with them where love isn't just in their arms anymore. It's in everything and everyone.

Isn't that why we fall in love in the first place?

To belong.

To exist.

I was a dark person. Dark, quiet, nothing to know about myself. I was lost. But... Look at me now. You have fixed me. Made me so much better...you were the one to shed light in a dark tunnel.

You know how when you're driving and its pouring down rain, you drive under a bridge and everything stops. Everything goes silent and it's almost peaceful. Then you finally get out from under the bridge and everything hits you a little harder than before. You were my bridge.

You were my breath of fresh air in a stuffy room.

Growing up I was always told that someday, someone would look at me with a light in their eyes like I've never seen before. They would look at me like I am everything they were searching for, for their entire lives. I waited for it, day in and day out. Even if it took me numerous trials and errors, I'm so glad I finally found it.

I think a simplistic part of love is the feeling of being wanted. The idea that someone wants to hold me and hear about my day, the thought that someone cares about me for who I am. That is the best feeling, knowing that someone wants me in every way.

I promised myself I would never fall in love with you. But it was 4 a.m....

and we were laughing way too hard,

and I felt happy for the first time in a long time,

and I knew I was screwed.

I still have so many emotions I could never put into words but I'm going to give it my best shot now. I have to admit, I didn't think we would get as close as we did but I wouldn't have traded it for anything.

I love you, not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you and most importantly for the people we will grow into together.

I'll love you at 6 a.m. when you are just waking up with tired eyes and funny hair.

I'll love you at 7 a.m. when you're heading out the door with a protein shake and keys in your hands about to start you day, not knowing what life will throw at you.

I'll love you at 6:30 p.m. when you're just getting home with tired eyes and a mind full of thoughts.

I'll love you at 7 p.m. when you curl up in a ball next to me and tell me what adventures you had and what mountains you had to move to get though your day.

I'll love you as you break down in tears because you made one small mistake and it's still with you because you overthink everything.

I'll love you when you say you're going to sleep but really you'll just lay down in bed and stare at the ceiling wondering what in the world is wrong with you.

I'll love you when I hold you in my arms as you break down in tears because of a Fast and Furious movie.

I will love you and whisper sweet nothings in your ear and hold you until you fall asleep only to start another tomorrow. I will love you through it all.

There are so many days where I question myself and wonder how I could be so selfish to keep you here giving you grains of dirt when you deserve the damn stars.

But you aren't just my boyfriend, you are my best friend.

And in a relationship, you need someone who is going to call you out like a friend, not someone who is going to let everything slide. You need someone who doesn't want to live without you, but can. Not someone who is dependent, but someone who is stronger with you. A relationship is two people, and I am so thankful I get to be in one with my best friend.

Love is when someone who even knows your scars, stays to kiss them.

Thank you for loving and accepting me for who I am. Even though I have my flaws like anyone else, you were able to look above and beyond them because you had yours as well.

You know there are people like me who are always in love with the sky, no matter what the weather. Thank you for loving me the same way.

I admire the fact that you put up with me, my many moods and my crazy life. I know I am not the easiest (lets face it you aren't either) but you always seem to have my back even when I am mad at you for no reason.

This is what people do, people that love you put their arms around you and love you when you aren't so loveable.

I hope you remember this when we are fighting, or you're in a crappy mood for the most simple minded reason.

Because I would give you the heart from my chest to hold without hesitation and you might not even be here in six months. I would give you the thing that gives me the very essence of life and I would let you run with it.

And I would choose you, in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I would find you and I would choose you.
