To the boy who stole my heart, you are my favorite.

You pick me up when I am down, put up with me being a brat (all the time) and you love me in the moments most would not. You are the boy I have been looking for, for quite some time. I am falling in love with everything about you. You make me feel beautiful and important. You make me laugh when I need it the most, and most importantly you laugh at all my dumb jokes or laugh at me for laughing at my own jokes, who knows. I love the memories we already have, whether it be pushing each other off the paddle board or having a water gun fight with my siblings. I love that you put up with my ridiculous Taco Bell orders, and love that you don't judge me for being a lard. You push me to work out yet buy me ice cream every other day and I love it. Even though we haven't known each other for long, I am so glad I met you and am excited to spend my future with you.

You are my favorite. You make me smile each time you text me and every time you call me beautiful I still get butterflies. I love when you try to be spontaneous even though we both know you love to plan ahead. I love that you still get nervous around me and my family, but still are comfortable around us. You get jealous and mad, but at the end of the day you still know I am yours. You are dorky and cuddly and everything I have ever wanted. I will always make fun of you for your lack of direction and your constant need for movement, but those little things are what make me like you the most. I think it's funny that you like words so much, and that you teach me some new word each day. And you aren't the average boy, like when you were watching soccer and said to me, "they use such good adjectives." I kinda love/hate how you love dogs so much, like you may have a problem. No one in their right mind would stop and park their car every time they see a person walking their dog, but you do and I kinda love it. Those little things are what makes you the person you are today.

You are a great and kind individual, and I know you are going to do great things in your career as a vet. You are passionate and caring and have such a good head on your shoulders. I am so proud of you for everything you have done in your life so far and for everything I know is to come. I figured I would write this article for you to read when you are away all next month for the Army. I am going to miss you kid and I can't wait for you to come home. Though you aren't gone yet, I am dreading every minute that you are away. Thank you for being you, my favorite, my Tinder Soulmate.
