I think I honestly woke up, a 3 year nightmare, just erased with one simple glance, then a smile turned into the most passionate kiss that took my heart and gave it a big kick. The feelings of the fake, totally turned around to a realistic point of view. You take what you had in the past, look at it and realize how much it truly did not mean anything to you when times like this pause your ever existence.

Living for the day, and now hoping to live forever. Going from one minute not knowing where I want to be, to hoping I can be happy again, though this time the right way. I’ve given up a lot to get nothing in return so many times. I’ve taken a bite out of my life during stressfull times and had no shoulder to fall back on and cry. I had nobody but my family there for me. Because the one that hurt me the most was the one I was with.

I’ve gone from being so depressed that everything I looked at would turn to ice, to a point where anything I just glance at, melts in the ever existence. Finally a reason to run back to who I am, and just live. A reason to smile, a path to where two people can look back, and laugh instead of miss, growing together to make one perfect life.

Something so simple, seems so much like a dream, I’ve had to pinch myself every day I’ve looked into her eyes. Is this real, can you meet somebody so fast, and have so many true feelings for them. They aren’t just being like this for you, they are being this person because that’s who they truly are. Life making me realize that Cupid does exist. Time just has it’s way of showing two people what it means to have something special in their lives. As if to say you’ve suffered enough. You’ve both earned each other. Because falling into each others eyes, turning and just a simple look, into each others eyes, making an obvious smile bright up both our nights.

Then at night, how perfect can that be, to wake up next to the most beautiful person. Not to just wake up, but after getting out of bed, turning around to see her, and how innocent, and comfortable she is. Finally happy, from both ends, finally content.

I’ve lived to many moments in time where I’ve wanted to share but nobody wanted to share it with me, the one I thought wanted to was just somebody I settled for. I didn’t know that love could actually make you happy in every way possible. I didn’t realize that a movie fairy tale ending existed. I had No idea there truly was somebody that was out there for me in every way possible.

Now with my heart beating faster and faster every time we talk to each other, I really know now that nothing can stop fate. Life tossing each others eyes in direction, to make each other realize that two hearts can beat the same beat.

Im here for her, for everything she is, for what she does to me, im here for the perfect moments that ill never forget, for the times where she’ll be at school and ill be home just waiting another night to get to kiss her. Existing to live in her heart, finally a reason not to move, no longer giving up. Not settling for a heart that wants to be reckless. Im happy with a heart that truly thinks of me as much as I think of her.

I go back to the days when I was young, not really having confidence in myself, taking a few years though to reflect on who I was I realized that confidence wasn’t what I lacked because I still saw the clouds, and how the sun would dance off other peoples eyes as they gazed into sun-sets. I still see that today and I still feel the innocence in people voices when they see something beautiful. Feeling complete, like something is finally right in my life, I don’t even know who to thank but God and everything that makes this possible. It’s like I owe it all to everything, and im going to do my best to live a good life so that I can see her day after day.

Just being me we both smile, like best friends, but in love with one another and barely a month into this, we have taken each others lives into our hands and walked a path already. So clear now what I’ve been missing but wondering if this happened now because we weren’t mature enough to handle this before.

True Relationships are something special, and special things need to be handled with care, trust, honesty, faith, and compromise. It’s like with taking any piece out of it would ruin it. We go on trying to breathe because we think of this as a perfect dream. Finally realizing fate has pulled a piece of paper out of it’s book for us and read it to the world.

Ive wanted a number of things, honestly in a woman, obviously the simple things, but as in personal things, like not just looking out for one another, but seeing the truth behind her eyes, writings, poems, like soft spoken words that come together when the stars are gazed upon. Seeing how much I miss her when I don’t see her has put a whole new meaning on everything my heart is beating for.

I can’t wait for the future knowing it’s going to be so good, though I can wait to keep the memories in tact. If everyday she wakes up with a smile I’ve done what I’ve wanted to do. Taking her sorrows and tossing them out the door, just seeing that glow, that spark that will never burn out.

You’ll never hurt again if I can think of a way to make you smile, ill turn every rainy day into a reason to go out and dance in the puddles. Taking every bad memory and sending it away like a bad dream. Making sure you can have the best life ever, because that’s what you want for me. Holding you in my heart like a locket that was always there, just waiting for the right persons kiss to open it up and have it start working. Im here for you because I’ve never been so happy in such a short amount of time with anyone and ill never feel this way about anybody again. You honestly are the only one im looking at and forever now will be that way as long as our hearts beat in rhythm anything is possible.

Thank you for being you, being the one that makes me hope all is ok, for realizing I wanna live another day, for starring at me so deeply that my heart healed and started beating again, for making my smiles turn to tears, for turning a bad past into a distant memory. For making me realize that a future with a true love, is something that does exist.

Finally able to look into an august sunset at the most perfect place with somebody who I truly know understands what that means. Finally able to hold onto someone that holds onto me back. No longer living in fear, im living with excitement. So many words can be said to express the feelings I have for you, so I needed to write this because you are honestly all I think about.

I watch the two of you...

Luke, I smile when I watch the two of you together, and I feel very humbled and priveleged to be able to be a small part of your life, even on the edges. It's been a long time coming, but I've waited for that smile on my face, knowing it would come back, and Melissa was the one who brought it back, not only for you, but for me as well. Treasure her - she is Life, itself. She is a reason for being.

Update

In June 2016... it'll be a decade from when I originally wrote this... I knew then that she'd be my forever and at the time it had been just over a month
