With You I Am Me.

To my most favourite person:

Today marks another milestone for us. Three years, though it seems like forever (in a good way!).  It was three years ago today that I realized I had to have you for myself. Three years ago I was smitten and knew you were something special... more special than anyone else I had ever met. My heart actually ached when I had to say goodbye after our weekend visits, and I longed for your quick return, which happily happened more often than not. 

Today, those feelings still hold true. Two people, from different countries who joined lives and made it work because we both felt it was meant to work... and to this day I still believe it was. You came into my life for a reason, and have been more to me than anything ever has. My lover, my left brain, my accomplice, my biggest fan, and most importantly my best friend.

Look how much we've grown since that day three years ago.  If you asked me if I thought we would ever be here, my honest answer would be "yes."... because I knew you were it for me, I knew you were the one.  

With you I can be my complete self. I can expose my flaws, I can be vulnerable... and you love me regardless. 

I love you beyond words, and was finally able to understand what those words meant when you came into my life.  I love that we both understand real, actual love because of each other. 

Happy anniversary baby.
