PERSISTENCE

 Now, you know better than anyone else we weren’t met with immediate approval. In fact, we were met my nothing but the opposite. My mom politely said hi to you, yet I was prompted to break up with you many, many times. But somehow, I knew that you were the right decision to make.

 Not only that, they weren’t the only people who thought we were absolutely ridiculous for doing what we doing– you remember better than anyone where our joke about “counting down the Picoseconds we’ve been together for came from.”

 Nevertheless, you were everything. You were everything I ever wanted and you still are to this day. I’m proud of us for knowing that what we have is not worth giving up for anybody else. I’m proud of us enduring the negative comments, tarot card readings saying we are only going to last two weeks, and surprised looks that either one of us have a significant other. Most of all, I’m proud of us for knowing that we both have something that is absolutely not worth losing.
