The Relationship: the short story
https://www.pexels.com/photo/affection-afterglow-backlit-blur-556667/

It started with two kids that didnt know thing about love and in some cases they still don't know what love is, they know it's idea of looking at someone and getting butterflies in your stomach, and having a your heart beat a little faster. But they don't know the real meaning of love. They started their relationship just like any other couple, getting the butterflies in the stomach and having the hearts beat a little faster when ever they saw each other, it was good fun even. The boy would look at all the girl little imperfections and the girl would find his jokes and the little things he did funny. Then the butterflies stopped and the faster heart beat didn't happen anymore, the boy instead of looking at the girls imperfections and loving them grew to hate them, the jokes and funny things the boy did now annoyed the girl. The couple that started a relationship on loving each other with everything was now turning into a relationship that was cold they more became people where living in the same house other then the couple that loved each other. The couple fought and bickered and no longer felt the love between them, the relationship they once had was quickly falling apart and each one of them could see the end coming. Then the day came the girl blew up on the boy and the boy blew up on the girl, the boy yelled at the girl about the things that he didn't like about her and the girl yelled stating the what she didn't like about him. The girl cried and the boy was filled with rage, they both left each on slamming the doors of two separate rooms. The girl cried as did the boy, hours later the boy went into room where the girl was she was sitting on the bed facing the window with puffy eyes. The boy stood in the doorway watching remembering all the little things that he said annoyed him don't really annoy him they where the little things that he loved about her. Her ability to not give up easily on anything, the fact she was stronger then any other girl he knew, how she sang terrible in the car with him, her laugh and her smile. Those things made the women he loved her. As he watched the girl looked straight out the window, she to remembered the little things that she said annoyed her she actually loved, his ability to make her laugh, make her feel whole, he was her partner in crime she remember the stories told, the awful singing in the car. Turning around she faced the boy both with puffy eyes and runny noses. They looked at each other remembering everything that made them love each other, they knew they didn't want this to end. So they made a promise to each other and it was a simple promise it was a promise to just try, try and take everyday with what comes with it, they promised to love each other and not to give up, they promised to show the love they first had when the relationship started.


This story isn't about ending a relationship because as you can see the couple agreed to fix the relationship that was starting to fall apart around them. The boy and girl lost sight of what really mattered to them, it wasn't what the girl or boy had on the outside but what they had on the inside the made the two of them fall in love with each other. It was the little things like hearing the girl laugh or watching the boy smile at her dancing in the kitchen to country music. So the idea of love nobody really understands it simply for the fact that love is a never ending thing and changing all the time, everybody has a different idea of what love is. Love is a thing that can go away, but it can also come back as long as you are willing to try.

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.
