This is my boyfriend and I.
We’ve been dating for one year and seven months now and it’s a huge understatement when I say that he was a stranger when I met him. A mutual friend introduced us because he needed a date for prom. I hesitantly agreed and three days after prom when he was driving me home from a different mutual friend’s grad party he asked me if he “could have a minute.” I stayed and he asked me if he could “take me out some time.” I agreed and we spoke for hours that night over the phone. We spent the next day together and have been inseparable ever since.
Our relationship is full of ups and downs like many others but ours is because it is long distance. Since we started going out on June 28, 2009 we have spent less than half of that time together physically because college keeps us apart. Not only is it a million times better when we’re together but we’re also so much stronger than we ever would have been if we could have spent all that time together. We’ve outlived many of our friend’s relationships as well. We are able to talk about anything in the world and we’ve grown to become better people because of it.
Stephen means everything to me. He makes me a better person each and every day and I do the same for him. He holds quite a large place in my heart and I couldn’t imagine my life without him.
I love you Stephen. I love you.
