There’s this memory I keep replaying over and over again in my mind, of you and me.

We’re at the mall, you’ve got a hold of my hand and I’m smiling up at you. It was the first moment I knew you were the one for me. It seems silly to think of that as the defining moment for me, but it really was. It was the first time in a very long time I really felt happy. Your fingers wrapped around mine and it made my insides became a butterfly garden. I hold onto that day tightly, like a flashlight in a blackout. 

Lately I’ve been dreaming about the way you kissed me that day, you held me so close. It’s kinda crazy to think of how we got here, one day you were just that sweet guy I work with, to the next you’re my best friend and I couldn’t imagine life without you. 

I told you once that I was not an easy partner, I would annoy you, and test you, and make you crazy. I would make your life difficult more than make it simple….but I know I also told you I would love you harder than you’ve ever been loved before. I meant that, and I still do. You’re easy to love even though you think you’re not. You’re so much fun, you tell the best jokes. Your laugh is my favourite thing about you, it lights up your whole face. It makes you look so amazing. I just can’t look away. 

Your smile makes my heart stop and I love looking at it. We put up glow in the dark stars on your ceiling, we would look at them at night and giggle at how silly we are. You’re my dream guy, I don’t know if you know that. But you’re everything I’ve ever looked for but couldn’t ever find.. until now.
