Love Letter

My dear lovebug,

It has been over a year and a half since we started our journey together and you have help me mold myself into who I truly am. Without you believing in me, I think I would have continued down the path I was going. A path full of resentment, anger, fear, depression, and becoming what others say without being true to myself.

I remember the first time you drove up to see me. Oh my, was I nervous. I had been let down so many times. I was afraid to get to know you. Afraid you would walk out like so many others had. I was a broken individual. I hid behind my dark clothes, scary makeup, and morbid thoughts. When you walked in, you took my breath away. I know I must have looked hot in that burger king uniform with my emo style hair and thick eyeliner. HAHA. But you saw through that. You saw the beauty in me that I never saw before.  The happy, bubbly girl I held deep inside that screamed to come out.

Remember the first nightmare I had when you stayed the night with me? I was so comforted the way you held me close and told me it was alright. It was hard for me to tell you about the man that almost took my life those years ago and how it still haunted me to that day. But you just told me it was alright, it wasn't my fault, and that you would help me get through it. And you did. You comforted me, built my confidence up, and loved me even with my broken parts.

It is because of you that I have found true happiness in myself. I am allowed to be who I want to be and I have your support through it all. Through the good times, the bad times, my niave times, and sometimes..my emotional times. We have already had trials that we have overcome. It is our love that has helped us both grow. It is a love that is deep. It runs through my veins and nourishes my body, my heart, my mind, my soul.

Thank you for opening my eyes to a whole different side of the world. To a whole different side of me. It gives me stregnth knowing you are by my side through the tough times. Holding my hand and letting me know its alright. It is ok to fail at things as long as I don't give up on myself. That you know I am strong, courageous, beautiful, smart, and creative.

I love you through it all. The way you care, the way you make me laugh, the way you spoil me, how smart you are, how independent you are, how you are..you. True to yourself no matter what anyone else thinks. The way you crack jokes when I'm not feeling well or we happen to be sitting in the emergency room. You are beautiful. no matter what you wear or how you look. I think you are absolutely stunning. So here's to a year and a half ..and many more to come. I love you lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots...minus one!! Forever and always

Love,

Sweet Pea
