“i look at you and i see my best friend. your energy and your passion inspire me in ways that i never thought possible. your inner beauty is so strong that i no longer fear being myself. i no longer fear at all. i never thought that i could find someone to love that would love me back unconditionally. and then i realized that, although we are often apart, you are always with me. you are my soul mate. you give me purpose when i feel i have none. without you my soul would be empty, my heart broken, my being incomplete. i thank god every day that you were brought into my life. and i thank you for loving me.”

so here’s the thing about you. you get it. you understand. no explanations. no coverups. no lies. just truth. you make me happier than i have ever been in my life. you make me feel complete. like even though i have no idea where i am headed, you are there to take my hand and guide me through whatever i may get myself into. you have taught me what it means to be alive. what it means to live. what it means to feel, again. i look at you and i see love. i touch you and i feel love. i listen to you speak and i hear love. there is no one that can ever compare to you. i have never felt more loved in my life. never felt more special. never felt more whole. but the thing about you is that you are honest. you tell me when i am out of line. you tell me when i am being irrational. but you also tell me how wonderful i am. how amazing i am. how much you care. and i thank god every single day that you were brought into my life. and i thank god i am finally able to love you back.. whole-ly.
