#0725.

Today is the day that makes me feel proud and happy of me, my significant other and us as an entity. I’m happy that today we mark half year milestone in our lives as a couple, and I have to say, that I’m definitely amazed that so much time has already passed. Even though we knew each other for definitely more than half a year, last six months made me see even more hidden parts of my lover. I saw and felt things that I have never expected them to make me see and feel. From all the people, I did not think that I would fall in love with someone like them...

And since I did, when I decided that my heart feels the safest and delighted there, in those hands, I couldn’t wish for anything more excellent. I know that I found that someone that I am willing to share my future with. I know for sure, that it’s the person that I can see myself continue growing, evolving, learning, loving with. I know that there’s no one else that I wish other than them.

It does sound like I’m completely fallen for love and perchance I indeed am. Blinded by love and all the wonderful things that the person makes me feel, however I know that it’s something two sided. For once I feel safe and secure about my choices and I know that I will be there to offer them the same feeling. I’m certain that this is a bond that can’t be easily cut off and even if there might be someone trying this, it won’t be that effortless for them.

Perhaps that’s just my heart overflowing with love and joy, that’s why these words are spitting out so easily, but even if, it is how I feel and it is how the person makes me feel.

I know that love is something to be cherished, something that grows, something that needs to be handled with care, and even though I have told myself many years that I wouldn’t want any of this, because I have “more important goals in life”, I am more than ready to do it all. To keep our love safe, let it grow, let it spread, let it evolve and be taken care of. The six months that we have shared together, all the cheerful and all the saddening things that we went through already, all the excitement, all the lust, and possible breaks and chipping of the heart, we’re together and it’s nothing I’d like to change. I’m happy with all the celebrations we had every single month, I’m more than happy and thankful that I could spend my time with you every time it was needed. We moved in together, we started to live as a little family, we gave each other things we could and wanted, we were there for each other when it was the most needed. I’m  thankful for every single day we have spent together and I’m even thankful for the days we’ve spent apart, because once I’d see you, my love would catch up from all the days and I could love you more than I ever thought I am capable of.

I know I can be real with you and you’re real with me. You make me see even more colours in this life, and I hope I can do that to you, as well.

We both had the courage. We both agreed. We entered a relationship. I got to call you my boyfriend for the first time.

I can’t believe a year has passed since I got to call that precious being mine. Time sure flies fast and it still feels incredibly weird that so much of it has passed since it all started, and yet I feel like I’ve been with him for eternity. And even if, I’d go for many eternities like that, really. The year we had together has dyed my world in way more colours that I could even imagine to exist. I’ve managed to learn about love again and saw so many sides of it… Both good and bad ones. I’ve learned about passion again, I’ve learned about forgiveness, about butterflies in the stomach, the anger caused by the significant other. All of these things can not be separated, both white and black parts add up to a wholesome relationship and I wouldn’t want anything else. I feel like this year I’ve been put to school to just… Learn what true love is… And I fell in love itself. I kept falling in love with him over and over and I’m sure it’ll continue happening. I simply wouldn’t change a thing. I still can not believe that so much has happened throughout the year together. We moved in together, we travelled, we had new (fluffy!) family members add up, we got engaged, we… We got married. Despite only dating for one year. And yet knowing each other for such a long time. All these years that we’ve known each other have lead us to this and I couldn’t be happier.

I still can not wait for all the things we have planned in the future, I can not wait for all the feelings we’ll get to feel - the ones that lift our spirits up, the ones that tries to crush us and yet only makes us sturdier. It’s been one of the greatest years in my life and I’m glad that you’re part of them.
