this one goes out to the one i love

Eight years ago this month, we decided to take a leap of faith and plunge into this world we call our own. I can still remember that look in your eyes when I let you know that I am pledging myself to you. That look, when the times get rough, gets me through most days. And I’ve grown to love you more.

Over the years that we’ve known each other, I’ve discovered the real you: that warm, charming, funny man behind the reserved façade. And I’ve grown to love you more.

I cannot count the many times that I’ve given up on us. But always, you stood your ground and remained firm with your conviction that our love is eternal. And I’ve grown to love you more.

Sometimes when there’s a screw loose inside my head (or I’m PMSing), I become nasty and mean, I hurt and humiliate you (sometimes in front of our friends), maybe even to the point of breaking your heart. But always, you never backed down, continuing to fight for what we have. And I’ve grown to love you more.

So today, before our month ends, you need to know this: I am forever grateful that our paths met, and I am glad to be sharing my life with you.

Happy anniversary to us! :D
