Sweetness,

I just want you to know that I have been waiting a long time for you. I have met many people, as well as lost many. I have had my heart broken and I have been loved and cherished. However, no one compares to you. You we're definitely not my first love, but that's okay. I wouldn't want you to be because my first love was a time when I didn't know what love was aside from the romantic movies and books I filled my mind with. I thought I knew what love was, but back then I only knew what people wanted love to be like. You deserve real love, the same kind of love you show and give me.

My second love was a hard one to overcome. He was someone different from my first love, yet I somehow seemed to compare him to my first. My second love was about me figuring out what I wanted in a relationship, what I expected from the man who says he loves me, and what I expected from myself most importantly. I won't lie, my life was far from perfect. There weren't just two "text book loves" in my life, there were a few guys I was interested in, but they never seemed to have what I needed or wanted.

Then one day, I met you. They say that our third love takes us by surprise and is the one we don't see coming. I never believed in that, nor did I believe two weeks could go by so quickly, yet give me an infinity of forever within it. I thought I kissed love goodbye, but then I kissed you and I felt something; something that I had been missing for years and that I didn't have with any other guy. I knew I loved you when I felt the heartache of loss when you had to leave for your job and I had to stay. The heartache that I only felt one other time in my life, when I lost the only friend I ever loved and had.

I knew I loved you when I found myself counting down the months until I would see you again, hug you again, and kiss you again...all the simple romantic gestures most couples are guaranteed daily, but I wasn't. I knew I loved you when every video chat seemed like you were right in front of me and not on the other side of the country. I know I love you because, despite everything, the mental scars from my first two loves and from life itself, the heartache I endure when you leave for months, I'd still choose you over anything and anyone.

You make my want to bash my head against a wall sometimes. I know I make you do, too. :) You also make me want to be a better person though. You inspire me to do better. Be better. You're my rock when I'm weak, and I'm yours when you aren't mine. You're the cheese and bacon to my loaded cheese fries and the happiness behind my smile.

I have waited a long time for you. I will wait even longer to be with you.

I love you!
