Weekend in Paradise
I originally meant to tell you this last night before we went to bed, and I am sorry that I didn't, and it should be said. In this is a lot of letters owed, and a lot of words unsaid.
When I first looked into your eyes the seconds after I asked you out, I knew I was looking at a person who would be truly special to me. At the time, I had hoped that we would turn into a wonderful and meaning relationship that would last, but my pessimism played a huge part in doubting that I would ever be able to experience such a thing. As this year and 8 months have past, every single day has been a blessing spending my time with you. Each day, I cherished the love you gave me, although sometimes I didn't always show it.
This week, as we spent time on Mackinac and St. Ignace, I had feelings I never thought I would have. Not only was I in a state of pure happiness, for once I was at peace. My anxiety didn't overwhelm me. For once in my life, all that mattered was the fact that I had you by my side and the peaceful surroundings of Northern Michigan. It was the absolute opposite of the feelings I usually encounter in my daily life. I didn't care so much about the commentators on Fox News, national polls, my upcoming workloads when I got back, or how I would ever have enough time to study for my upcoming GRE.
All in all what I am trying to say is never have I been more sure of someone in all my life. Never has someone been able to touch me the way you have. Mandy, I love you deeply. You are the one I have waited for, you are the one that I would go to the ends of the Earth with. Although as many differences we have, and how many spats that seem to hurt us both, I find myself loving you more each day. There is no one I would rather spend my days with but you. And I pray one sweet day in the future, we will look at each other filled with love upon seemingly endless past amount of time spent together, and be overfilled with the joy and happiness given to each other.
I love you Mandy, thank you, and here is to our future.
