I sat next to my boyfriend on the couch, looking at him with tears in my eyes. “Babe, can we talk for a minute?” I asked, my voice trembling.
He looked at me with concern. “What is the matter baby? Hope all is well?”
“I took a deep breath. “Everything is fine. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for everything.”
“Thank me? For what? He asked, raising his eyebrow.
“For being you,” I replied. For being an amazing partner, for creating incredible memories with me. For being there through ups and downs, for supporting me and for loving me for who I am.”
“I want to thank you for everything you have done, not the big ones but for the little things you have done as well. The way you always know how to make me laugh or smile when I'm angry, the way you listen when I need someone to talk to and the way you support me in everything I do. You have been my confidant and my rock, a steady presence I can count on whenever I'm faced with challenges, for that, I'm eternally grateful.
He smiled softly and took my hand. “You are the love of my life,” he said. “I'm so grateful to have you in my life and I love making memories with you.”
I smiled back at him, feeling my heart swell with love. “I love making memories with you too,” I said. “From our trips to different places to our boring Sunday evenings where we will sit together on the couch watching movies, playing games and laughing with each other, every moment with you is special to me.”
“Me too,” he said, "I love our conversations and even our misunderstandings as well. He pulled me into a hug, holding me tightly. I could not resist the hug because it was warm and comforting. “I promise to always love and support you.” He said, giving me a kiss on my forehead.
I held him tightly feeling grateful for having him in my life.
As I held him tightly, feeling the warmth of his body and the love in his touch, I knew that I was exactly where I was meant to be. The tears that had welled up in my eyes earlier began to fall, but this time they were tears of joy and gratitude.
"I love you," I whispered, my voice muffled against his chest.
"I love you too," he replied, holding me close. "More than anything in this world."
We stood there for a moment, wrapped in each other's arms, the world outside fading away. It was just us, two people who had found their perfect match in each other.
As we pulled back, he smiled at me, his eyes shining with love and adoration. "I’m so glad you talked to me about this," he said. "I needed to hear it."
"Me too," I replied, smiling back at him. "I needed to say it."
We sat back down on the couch, holding hands, and watching the television. It was a moment of peace, a moment that I would cherish for the rest of my life.
As we sat there, I knew that no matter what life threw at us, we would face it together, hand in hand, and heart to heart.
