This is something my boyfriend of 1 year and 3 months, Greg, wrote for me a few months ago. <3
I’ve never really thought very deeply about our relationship, but only knew that it was necessary for my life. Because I don’t bother to understand many things besides what I love, I need to understand why we love each other.
The answer became quite clear to me when I noticed how we act around each other. We are constantly affectionate, caring, and compassionate towards each other, and I actually can’t help but feel those things towards you, because I feel such a simple, raw love for you that I’ve never felt before. Completely uncomplicated, and sincerely simple that I can’t even explain it. With you, I am a serene soul. I can be troubled, but you can wash it away, as if it were only dirt on my skin. And if I’m hurt, I know it won’t leave a scar, and you know the way to heal me…
We are changing, and must change together. For the better, we are going to feel like life is trying to tear us apart, but this is what growing up is going to be like. We never feel like we’re growing up until it’s too fucking late. Look out the window, and the sun is shining, and the next moment, it’s pouring rain. We’re going to be ready for the best, and ready for the worst; and friend, best friend, girlfriend, boo, cutie, whatever I am going to peg you as for the duration of my life, I want you to always be by my side in one form or another.
Please don’t ever lose faith in me.
