Because I miss him. 

I remember thinking back when I met him in middle school 9 years ago that he was way out of my league. When he asked me to be his girlfriend back then, I thought I was dreaming. There was no way this incredible person liked me. Throughout high school, he became my best friend. He became my support. He became the most important person in my life. No one ever replaced him. Even through all the ups and downs. Even when we weren't together. Even when he moved away. There was always a special place in my heart for him. 

He joined the Navy, and 4 years have past where I didn't see him. He never missed a Birthday, or a major holiday. He always remembered to call or shoot me a text. 

This past January, we finally saw each other again after 4 long years. He came to visit me in Corvallis and we grabbed breakfast. We talked about life, and what we've been up to in the recent years. We shared our dreams, and passions. He was the exact same person I fell for back in middle school, but all grown up. He became the type of person I wanted to be with. 

After that, occasional text messages turned into talking all day long, every day. Time and distance played its role, and brought us back together.

I'll tell you how.

Because he came into my life over 9 years ago when we both were awkward, and didn't know what being in a real relationship really was. 

Because he sees me for all my flaws and imperfections, and can honestly tell me he thinks I am "flawless."

Because he tells me things like, "I'm never letting you go" & "I would do anything for you, and you know that" and mean it. 

Because even from over 3,000 miles away, he can make me feel like I'm am the only person in the world that he wants to talk to and be with.

Because he deserves more than I can give him, and it's more than enough for him.
