travis,
when i first met you, i never would have guessed that we would blossom into what we are now.
when i met you, i wasn’t really looking for a relationship. after chasing and chasing just to be disappointed, i decided to let love come to me.
and then you happened.
i kept thinking, “this is the boy of my dreams. what in the world did i do to deserve this?”
after a long period of texting nonstep and talking on the phone day in& day out, we decided to try and conquer the distance.
2 months later, in may of 2011, you left your family& friends to start a new life here with me.
it’s been 9 months since we made it official.
and here we are.
it’s been quite a ride, babe.
we’ve been struggling with cash, bills, food and gas from the beginning. but, slowly things are getting better.
there has been fight after fight. so many arguments that broke us down until we were too torn apart to keep going.
but, we always end our fights the same way; cuddles, kisses and i’m sorry’s.
i think all of the struggle made us stronger.
at the end of the day, i lay next to you, happy for the simple fact that i get to sleep next to the boy of my dreams.
it’s so hard sometimes, but damn it, i love you. i love you more than words could ever describe.
you are my best friend& you know me better than i know myself.
without you, i am simply not me.
there isn’t a doubt in my mind that says we can’t do this.
we beat the odds, love.
distance is no match for real love.
i’m sorry i’m so difficult- but, thank you for loving me regardless of my flaws.
i love you always,
marissa. <3
