I love you. Three little words that hold some one’s heart. I do not give these words out lightly. They are carefully given out to the ones who are dear to me…you are one of those people. We’ve dated other people, carry baggage from the past, and have emotional scars that may bound us at first. You were unexpected and my heart didn’t think it could handle another break or even the chance of one. I took that chance with you because my heart knew something my mind couldn’t fathom at the time. The emotions came running fast the moment I saw the real you.

The ‘you’ that people couldn’t see from the outside. The ‘you’ that gave me the courage to use those three little words and have faith that I wouldn’t be broken again. I want you to know that my love is true and loyal. I have seen the best and worst sides of you and still continue to fall more in love with you each day. I wish I could have seen this side of you sooner but I know that the exact moment we met, the exact moment we ran into each other after all these years was the moment I was meant to love you. All of the heartbreaks before you were preparing me for this…for you. I do not see our baggage as mistakes, I see them as stepping stones that lead me to that exact moment we locked eyes and realized this was something to pursue. Insecurities will come around and that’s okay. It’s a small sign that we’re falling in love, we’re becoming vulnerable because our hearts are back on our sleeves.

They’re out in the open again in hopes to be taken care of. I didn’t expect you. I didn’t expect to love you as passionately as I do. Years ago I would have laughed off the idea because I didn’t know the man you would become. The man that went through hell and back to be the man I need today. I believe in fate and destiny and that everything good, bad, and ugly in life happens for a greater purpose. You are what all of the heartbreaks prepared me for. You’re the one. Although those three little but powerful words may not always assure you, just know I do not take them lightly. My heart chose you. I love you. Three little words that hold my heart.

Sincerely,

Your Loving Girlfriend
