You

Dear you, 

You didn't know what you were getting into did you?  You had no clue how fragile my heart was. How fucked up my mind was. You saw a pretty face. You read the funny texts. You knew there was baggage. You knew there was even a "few" kids involved.  You didn't know how deep all of it ran. But you stayed. You came into my life at a point where I had given up hope of the thought of ever having normal. I had given up my ideas that one day I'd find someone who would sweep me off my feet with his wit, sarcasm, and charm. His dedication to his job. His dedication to his family. And his ability to fix things. That's what you do though: you drink, know things, and occasionally fix things. 

I didn't know guys like you still existed. You told me these stories of how your exes had fought with you about things that seemed so trivial to me. They left you. How you couldn't be yourself. Then I met you and yourself is all I wanted you to be. 

You have this way about you that calms my soul. I could listen to you talk for hours. You've lived in ways I never had the chance to. You've given yourself away to girls who couldn't handle you. Fools. That's what they were. The way you hold my heart and the way you've started healing it has been the most incredible rollercoaster ride. If only they could have seen the bigger picture. They wouldn't have given you away so easily. But I am so glad they did. I'll forever be thankful for that. 

I love you. I love your laugh, I love your sarcasm, and I love how much you don't give a fuck. It's so easy to fall into your arms when you walk in from work. It's so easy to want to cook you a nice warm meal when you come home at night. It's easy to be open with you and show you things I've never given anyone before. You baby, you make life easy. You've given me more than I could have asked for and it's only the beginning. I cannot wait to see what life has in store for us. If there is such a thing as a soulmate well then I think I may have just found mine.
