Go on, put that sappy as hell music on. I dare you.
I'm thankful.
I'm thankful for my loving family, my friends that are as good as any blood relation to me, and I'm thankful I'm able to live a comfortable life with what I have. I'm surrounded by supportive people that help me stand when I fall, people I find fulfillment in doing the same for in return. So I'm thankful.
But more than anything in the world today, I'm thankful I met you. We've only known each other since February; compared to people I grew up with or people I met in the two or three years I've been on LJ, that's really not all that long. But time doesn't matter, it's how you use it that counts. And ever since February you've been nothing but kind and sweet to me through both good and bad times for both of us.
When you're happy, I'm always sitting here in front of my screen with a huge smile on my face. I don't smile all that often, at least not like that. I love seeing you happy, and I love knowing I can help you find the sort of happiness you deserve. You're the only person that can make me feel like that, and I'm thankful to have you in my life. Few things make me happier than being able to bring you back up when you're down, and I can't count how often I've fallen asleep holding my phone after texting you for ages.
What I'm trying to say in my own awkwardly phrased and long-winded way is that I love you. Which is a big deal for me, since I really don't know how does I shot emotions. Sure, I'm worried I'm going to do or say something stupid eventually. But I know if and when I do, you'll forgive me. Because you know, or at least I hope you do, that I would never, ever purposely hurt you. You mean the world to me, Kattu. I love you unconditionally and I always will.
Happy one-month anniversary. It's not much at all, but I have this for you. I know how much you already love Yukiko, so I thought you'd like it. It'll look better when I can scan it, I promise.
And it'll look even better than that when I can hand it to you myself in April.
I'll see you there, sweetheart. I can hardly wait.
