An open letter to a Very Special Person

For the past three years, we have shared a bond that we both called friendship. I often smile at you, say hi, shared jokes, stories, food, water and anything that you’re willing to share. I must admit that I admire you for being that friendly and nice towards everybody.  You know my story back then, yet you never judged me, instead you admired me for it and I thanked you for that. Fast forward, those simple bonds of friendship have developed and it happened unexpectedly. The kindness, the sweetness, the care have been doubled. I have noticed the gestures but instead of being afraid, my heart feels flattered. For the longest time, I felt really happy. A different kind of happiness, a happiness that I missed.

I just want you to know that I admired your bravery for pursuing me, for taking the risk and for following your heart. I know it ain’t easy because we started as friends but I want you to know that falling for you isn’t that hard. It was unexpected and I must say that it was a perfect fall. You caught me with both hands, and held gently in your arms and for the first time, I wasn’t afraid, I didn’t worry, I just let it happen. I let YOU happen. I let you IN. and it made me HAPPY.

I have broken some rules, my rules but I never felt guilty breaking those rules. You know already what those rules are. It is something I made to protect myself from getting badly hurt but you became an exception.

Thank you.

Thank you for being brave, for being thoughtful, for being sweet and for forgetting all the worries inside your head. Thank you for following your heart because it leads me to you. Thank you for making me smile the sweetest smile, for making me laugh with your corny pickup lines, for understanding my mood swings, for making my tummy and my heart full with the random sweetness overload, for spoiling me too much with those surprises, for loving my daughter, for accepting my past, for always being there and above all for loving me more than the love that I deserved.

To be honest, I don’t know what lies ahead but I am praying in silent that our love will last longer. This is the kind of love that I am praying.  This is the kind of love that is worth fighting for. This is the kind of love that I would never be ashamed of, and always remember that I am too proud and too lucky having you.

I know that we will face challenges and obstacles in this relationship but I want you to know that we will surpass whatever it is as long as we have each other. As long as you hold my hand, I will never let it go.
