We got this.
I can’t describe what my boyfriend does to me, he makes me crazy, a psycho, I’ve never had someone that can make me so mad so fast, or someone who knows exactly how to piss me off. But I’ve also never in my life have someone care for me the way he does. I’ve never had someone literally ache when I ache, go to the ends of the world to see me for five minutes. I mean yeah I’ve got my family that protects me and loves me, I have friends that look out for me, and I’ve had other boyfriends who really like me. But this boy is the only person in the whole world who truly and honestly cares for me. Nothing attached, doesn’t care about my clothes or cars or money or what I can do for him. He loves me because of what he sees in my heart. He loves me exactly as I am, faults, scars, fears, all my imperfections. And to see that, feel that, experience that, so much love and protection is overwhelming, it’s scary, but it’s also beautiful. He has a lot of issues, a lot of tragedy consuming his life, and we have a lot of haters. People trying to bring us down because we come from different worlds, because of mistakes he’s made in the past, because of our age difference, because of anything they can find to take away our happiness. But we say fuck the haters. Who are you to tell me what I feel? Who are you to tell me what makes me happy? Who are you tell me that I don’t know what love is? People always assume that my boy is a bad influence, that I’m going to “fuck up my life like him.” But what you guys don’t know? He’ll stay on the phone studying with me, he always makes sure I’m taking my school seriously, that I keep good relations with my family, he’s looking out for me 24/7. He wants me to succeed. And how about you haters stop looking at his past, and focus on his present, his future. You keep talking about his mistakes? How about what he’s done and is doing to fix it. You ever ask what his future plans are, or what he’s doing to change? How hard he is trying to be a better person.
This boy is my present, my future, my life. In the short time we’ve been together he’s already taught me more about the world than I learned in my 17 years of life. He makes me a stronger, better person. We’ve seen how fucked up this world can really be, but I know that as long as I have him by my side, as long as we keep pushing and trying, that nothing can tear us apart, nothing can bring us down.
