You asked me tonight if I still loved you...

not a moment passed, nor did any thought cross my mind but "I Do."

June 21, 2012...the beginning of everything for us.

I do love you, every part of you, the good times, funny times, sad times, rough times. The way you lighten up the room, the way you see through what others don't, the way you make me smile, the way you make a difference to so many people in so many ways without even knowing it. I love the you that is stubborn and determined, strong and dedicated, motivated and driven. The you that is a true southern gentleman, the you that will always be a child at heart, the you that has a personality and heart like no other. The you that I, among many, look up to.


I do know that the past 6 years have been a roller coaster. I know that the past 6 years have been life. I know that everything happens for a reason. I know that you have to break, to see how strong you can still stand on your own. I know that Hell is nothing but how you look at it. I know that only you can change things. I know that taking a chance, can mean changing your world. I know that sometimes, you should take the chance, do the thing that scares you the most. And see where you end up, because for me, it meant that everything fell back into place. ♥

I didn't know, 6 years ago this August...how much of a difference the boy sitting behind me, kicking my seat in class, would make in my life.
I didn't know, 5 years ago this October, a phone call from a number I didn't recognize, inviting me to a hayride I regrettably didn't attend, would be a number which is family.
I didn't know, 5 years ago this December, a necklace would ever mean so much to me.
I didn't know, 4 years ago this past January, a shy yet outgoing boy would ask me to be his girlfriend.
I didn't know, 4 years ago this Spring, what it was like to begin to feel like I found someone.
I didn't know, 4 years ago this Fall, how close this boy and I would be as best friends.
I didn't know, 3 years ago this past February, how how much he went through, and I was there for, would do for our friendship.
I didn't know, 3 years ago this month, how much getting the guts to do something I was scared of, would change my life. I didn't know how getting on the back of his dirtbike and dancing around the house would become a memories both loved and cried of.
I didn't know, 3 years ago this Spring, how much of an impact and love grew between two kids.
I didn't know, 3 years ago this July 30, if things would ever be the way I loved, wished them to be; had no way to know if I would ever be able to truly be unbroken again. I didn't know how strong I was til I had nothing...and turns out I wasn't that strong.
I didn't know, 3 years ago this July 30, that for the next 20 months, I would be going through my own Hell, and silent cries, unspoken glances, fake smiles, wishes, hopes, regrets, fears.
I didn't know, 1 year ago this past February, how a mixed message could be a glimmer of hope it turned out to be.
I didn't know, 1 year ago March 6, how taking a chance and going for it....could spark.
I didn't know, 1 year ago last Saturday, March 12, 2011 at 11:11 PM, how real and amazing things could pick right back up to be again.

I didn't know where life would take us, and still have no way of knowing. But something brought us back together for a reason, and if I do know one thing, it's that I love you with ALL my heart.

Forever and always, I swear.
