An Open Letter to my New Love

I know it doesn't seem like we've been dating long enough for me to say this, but I am happy that I found you. As I sit in the passenger side while you're driving, I can't help but stare over at you and think "I'm one amazingly lucky girl." Isn't that new relationship feeling amazing? It's like you always want to talk to them and be with them and everything that they do is cute to you. That's what I'm feeling right now.

The scary part though in starting a new relationship is realizing that there is a 50/50 chance that it will either last forever or end at some point in time. Hopefully, you and I can make it. Let's be honest, you are just too handsome for words, inside and out. I feel so privileged to call you mine. You have opened a whole new world to my eyes. The kindness in your heart that you have for others and myself is intoxicating. You make it feel as if I have never experienced heartache in my life – that's the scary part. This love I have for you is growing more and more every day and here's why.

Before you, I had given up on finding a boyfriend, I was so over the whole dating scene. I was convinced that I would never find a guy who wanted more than just a physical relationship and begun to think I would never be more than just a "booty call". Then, you came along and changed everything.

Since we have been together, you have shown me that I was worth it. As our relationship grows, my friendship with you grows as well. I am undressing my heart to you and that is deeper than any lust I could ever imagine. I didn't know that doing simple things, like opening my car door was something that boyfriends did. I just thought movies over-portrayed that aspect. I'm terrified because you are slowly, but surely piecing my heart back together, and I'm okay with it. You have been so loving and caring to me, and you are showing me that you deserve my trust. All I've ever known is broken promises, so to start over again wasn't something I imagined I'd be doing, but here I am. You have shown me how I deserve to be treated. Everyone believes chivalry is dead. For a while, I believed it too. And then, you showed up. Chivalry is very much alive, and you are proof of it.

Thank you for showing me that I can be loved the right way. Until you came along, I tried to convince myself that I was happy with the wrong person. I tried to convince myself that I deserved less than what I was. For the first time, there isn't a day that goes by in which I doubt your feelings for me, or my feelings for you. I know what you have for me is real. For the first time, I found someone who wants me just as much as I want to be with them. You've brought me joy and I hope to give that back to you. I finally understand what people mean when they say, "your happiness makes me happy". Thank you for all the adventures and memories we've already made together. I already do and always will hold them close to my heart. Thank you for putting up with me, I know I can be a handful. There are times I feel like I'm being overly emotional and wonder why you still decide to stay and deal with me. Not only do you stay, but you reassure me that everything will be okay, and that I'm not as bad as I think I am and that means more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for letting me vent to you no matter what its about. Thank you for always being so optimistic about everything, it makes harder situations easier to go through. I absolutely love how laid back, relaxed and simple you are, it helps keep me calm when there's a storm in my mind. Thank you for putting up with my bouts of worry, for listening to my problems without judgement, for cheering me up when I'm sad, for understanding when I cry and comforting me, and for never leaving my side. We talk everything out, we understand and accept each other's differences, and I don't believe we could ever stay mad at each other for very long.

There are so many things I could thank you for, but I really want to thank you for being you. You're the most perfect boyfriend I could ever ask for, and I couldn't feel luckier to have you. Thank you for choosing me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
