I've always had aspects of being self destructive within my personality. Although I have changed, grown, and matured with time there are still parts of me that wander back to my former self every now and then.

I do not need to be rescued, I am not a damsel in distress and I am very capable of saving myself. When it comes down to it I will learn to count on myself and stand on my own two feet. However, even when that time comes, I want to thank you for saving me from the parts of me that I still can't grow to love. I cannot take all the credit even though at the end of the day it is on me alone to work out my issues.

Time known does not trump over anyone's value in my life for you can know someone for two months and it could outweigh someone you have known half a decade. I truly believe those who come into our lives have done so for a reason and I am truly blessed for this.

Not everyone meets someone throughout their time spent on earth and can say they saved them from turning into a manifestation of their former bad habits. Not everyone can say they met someone who after getting to know them for just a single day, twenty four hours, wants to commit to sticking with them and not giving up.

That's all we truly need; someone to understand we all come with emotional baggage and yet still wants to stay around and help mend the pieces that haven't quite stuck into place yet. So this is my appreciation for the person who knew about my not so pretty qualities, looked past them and decided they still wanted to love me anyway.

I cannot express enough how much it means to someone like me for all my life I have known nothing but abandonment and disappointment. You have shown me that not only is there someone out there for everyone but that I am still capable of being loved and loving in return.

I may not have needed saving but I sure did need someone in my life like you. I've always needed that one person that understands me like no one else has. Better yet that moment came instantly almost as if the universe wanted it to happen that way.

Not to get too mushy; for this isn't meant for just a romantic aspect. It's more so my way of expressing how thankful I am that through all the turmoil, breakups and heartbreak that as destructive as my life can seem there is still a silver lining.

So thank you for being my partner in crime because I always needed someone whose crazy matched perfectly with mine. And thank you for being my light at the end of my tunnel. I may not have needed saving but I sure as hell needed you.
