I told her I love her.
I just got back from spending a week with my girlfriend Mandie. Like I mentioned before, she lives 4000 miles away from me in California where she goes to school. We talk every day, but to actually be able to see her and hold her... well, those moments are few and very special. It's something that most couples take for granted. This week was exceptionally special though.
I met Mandie just over a year ago. We were friends for most of that time. We had our first kiss about four months ago and we've been a couple ever since. She's everything I ever wanted in a girl; Smart enough to teach me things I never knew, funny enough to make me smile when I'm angry or sad, supportive enough to make me feel like there's nothing I can't do, and beautiful enough to make me forget about everyone else when I look at her. I often struggled to find the words to tell her how I felt, but when I was finally able to hold her again this past week and look her in the eyes, I knew exactly what I wanted to say. I told her something I've never told anyone else. I told her I was in love with her. She told me she loved me too. The word 'amazing' doesn't come close to describing how that felt.
We had an incredible week after that. Unfortunately, it was only a week. Saying goodbye and letting go of her hand at the airport was probably the hardest thing I ever had to do... I miss her so much already.
Well, time to start planning my next trip out to Cali to see her. It's just a matter of time until we can be together again, and knowing that she loves me is enough to keep me going until then.
I love you Mandie.
