For the rest of my life.

Everyday when I wake up in the morning, I know that no matter what happens, I'm sure that I can go home to someone who truly cares about me. Sometimes, I forget the importance of having a cheerleader, someone who's unfailingly, unwaveringly and unfalteringly on my team, until I don't have it anymore. Having you is akin to walking around with a security blanket, a safety net, knowing that you'll always be there to catch me when I fall. Having you is akin to living life with a shock-absorber, knowing that you'll always be there to share the pain of the difficult-to-stomach moments in life. This is a luxury, a luxury that sometimes I am too quick to convince myself it will last forever. This is a constant, a constant that sometimes I take for granted.

A question you always ask me is; Why do you love me? Believe me when I say, my heart was the one that skipped a beat when I received a text from you that simply read "Hi!" that faithful morning, not a long time ago - When you took my breath away, leaving me completely and utterly amazed when I am around you. And it still does every time we meet. I am vulnerably strong, afraid yet courageous. When you breathe near me, when you speak to me, when you look at me and when you touch me, I am certain that this is the sigh I want to hear, the voice I want to listen, the eyes I want to see and the hand I want to hold for the rest of my life. And this is how I know I love you.

Maybe my love is not enough for you, maybe that's why you doubt it. Maybe you need or want another form of security, maybe something that will always go according to plan, possibly something that you don't have to step out of your comfort zone. But sunshine, let your heart speak and not your mind. Love us without restrictions and let it live, because I love you and I hope you feel the same too.

Remember, falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience, the euphoria of love will fade after some time but it is up to you to decide who you let walk away and who you let stay. Love isn't about finding the right person, it is about learning to love the person you found. Love takes effort and time, but you're not alone, you'll always have me and I'll keep working on it, because I know we are worth it.
