Wow.
“Right now as I stand here, you are the other half of me; the better half of me. Since I met you, you’ve been my third arm, my second heart, and my second set of ears. But tonight after we say, “I do” all that will change. The word “other” will no longer exist in our relationships vocabulary. Tonight we will become one. Our hearts will be in perfect unison, our eyes will blink the same speed. For the rest of my life when I wake up in the morning, your hair will be the first thing that I smell, and your skin will be the first thing that my lips touch and kiss; and tonight, I am giving you the key that unlocks every door inside of my body. In this moment, I promise to always defend you, and to protect you, and give my word that I will always do my very best to make you laugh, and to keep your cheeks sore from smiling so much. I will cook you breakfast and we will watch classic movies together. I will be an amazing father to my children one day. I will make sure they know how much I love their mother. We will travel around the world together. We get to watch thousands of sunsets together. We will grow old together and watch each other’s hair turn grey. I promise you this: that I will always look at you the same as I see you today. I will tell you everyday for the rest of your life how beautiful you are. I will always sing for you until the day that I die. Even when I am 80s year old, I will still ask you to dance with me, even when there is no music playing in the room. I love you & always will.”
This Is Some what overdue:
I’ve learned that relationships take a lot of commitment and effort and an endless amount of trust. Without those things, it never really is a relationship at all. I’ve learned that in order to love someone you must first love and trust in yourself. Without that, you can’t totally give the other person 100% of yourself. I’ve learned that things aren’t always going to go your way. Love isn’t always some fairytale thing in which everything plays out like a movie, and in the end everything goes right, because that’s completely not true. I’ve learned that relationships are a lot of work. They’re absolutely fucking exhausting and take every ounce of energy you have sometimes. I’ve learned that it IS possible to find someone who loves and cares about you for every flaw and every imperfection that you posses. I’ve learned that it is very possible to find someone you can completely open up to and expose every detail, every secret, every insecurity to, and they’ll in return accept you for it. Ive learned how it feels to have someone put you first and before everything in their lives. But I’ve also learned how it feels to have someone put you dead last in their lives. I’ve learned what it feels like to have extremely special moments with someone, moments that you’ll never forget. I’ve learned what it feels like to look forward to an anniversary, the one day a month where you get to celebrate passing time with your “boothing” boyfriend/girlfriend and look back on all the moments you’ve shared so far with each other. I’ve learned how to handle fights and confrontation, and that sometimes you have to just let things go. I’ve learned that once you’re in love there’s no turning back. You go balls to the wall and give it your all, no matter what, no matter if it works out or not. Just knowing you can look back and say you gave it your absolute all makes it all worth while. And finally, I’ve learned what it feels like and how much it takes to finally let go of someone you love and move on, to close a last chapter and put a book on a shelf to never be picked up again. I’ve learned that you’re never going to fully get over someone, especially not a first love, or even a love in general. But that you can get past it and move forward. You can start a new book with someone else, but only once you’ve let go and fully committed to moving forwardd..
- It still bothers me when other people flirt with you.
- It still bothers me when other people call you names.
- It still bothers me when you get so much attention.
- It still bothers me when you talk to other people that like you.
- It still bothers me when you hang out with people that like you.
- It still bothers me when you don’t consider that these things bother me.
