You’re down.

You feel like you’re out.

The world looks gray all around you and you feel like you are just coasting through life.

Whatever the reason for this utter dismay doesn’t even matter anymore, because you are just waiting for something, anything to happen.

And then, it does.

She walks by.

She shoots a glance your way. She even talks to you a couple times.

All of the sudden, you start to see colors again.

You start to look forward to thing again.

And before you know it, you are well on your way to something beautiful.

Fast forward a few months to when the two of you are walking around a mall like you usually do. The world is a little bit brighter and, quite frankly, it is an amazing feeling. I am compelled to ask if others have felt this feeling. Smiles feel bigger, hugs feel warmer, and you feel invincible because of it. Something has changed between the both of you, and you are so excited for each and every day that comes next. High school finishes, college starts, and even more college starts, and you still can’t help but feel the world be brighter every single day.

Now it is on to the future. You see an apartment, and then a house. You see a job, and then a career. You see her, and you see every single thing in your life coming together exactly as you always dreamed it would be. Your world has changed in the last few years, and it is changing even more for the better each and every day. She has made your world a little bit brighter, and you are endlessly thankful for this. Without her, the days would be as gray as the clouds you walked under all those years ago. You haven’t looked back once, and you aren’t going to for as long as you live.

This is for all those who are on top of the world every time they see their better half. The world is a little bit brighter because of them, and they know who they are.

You know who you are. Thank you <3
