To whom it may concern...

To the love that awaits,

Thank you.

Thank you for loving me when I had trouble loving myself.

Thank you for showing me that love is real and worth the wait.

Before you came I was lost, I was alone, and I was hurt.

I felt broken and I just knew that I would grow old alone.

You had to pick up the pieces and put together a heart you did not break.

You had to deal with my distance and uncertainty.

You had to deal with my insecurities and inability to trust.

You saw the pain, you recognized the hurt, and you accepted the flaws.

You did what no other man has been able to do; accept me... truly accept me.

You showed me how to be brave when I was scared

You showed me the light when everything was dark

You became my other half while you focused on being my friend.

For all that you have done

For all that you will do

I say

Thank you.
