• When we first met, I thought of myself as a wallflower.
    I didn’t think people noticed me, but you did.
    You saw something in me that no one else did.
    I found this confidence in you that I wish I had in myself.

    As our friendship grew, so did my feelings for you.
    You had this alluring aura that always drew me back in.
    It hurt me that I couldn’t be your special someone.
    But then you surprised me by wanting to be mine.

    When I knew I was in love with you, nothing else mattered.
    I fell asleep missing your compelling voice,
    and woke up thankful to have you in my life.
    I treated every day with you as if it was my last, not wasting a second.

    Being with you makes me realize how fortunate I am.
    You have always been here for me,
    giving me the strength to continue, even when I didn’t want to.
    Because of you, I feel like a stronger, better person.

    When I hear your name, an unexplainable feeling comes over me.
    Your gentle, warm touch makes my heart ache.
    Sometimes I even think your love can give me wings,
    allowing me to fly into a sky of complete harmony.

    I want you to know what lies behind these mysterious eyes.
    I want you to know how much you mean to me.
    My heart is something fragile and unusual,
    And I have given it to you.

    When we are apart,
    I hope you are safe.
    When we are together, hands intertwined,
    My smile never seems to fade.

    My feelings for you are real.
    No one can take your place.
    I could tell you I love you,
    but these are words you know already.

    What I know is that we are meant for each other,
    in our past life, present, and next.
    Forever you will have me.
    The real me.
