My Darling,

For the last 15 years of my life I've never ever loved anyone else more than my family. And my cat.

I always would think to myself on this day, "hmm, I wonder if next year this time I'll find that one person..."

Well for the first time in my life I did, however, it wasn't the type of love I was expecting.

I would always dream of being swept off my feet by my Prince charming, as most girls do, and to find a guy that was head over heels for me, (as I'm sure you do too) and I'd always dream that I'd be happily in love one day with a romantic guy that I could call my own.

I always, always, always thought that'd be the way to satisfy me, to "complete" me. I never even considered finding another person, that was NOT my Prince charming that I could call my own, who I would find such a platonic bond with.

I needed someone that I could trust myself with, someone that would take care of me in emotional distress, someone that could properly handle my energy and excitement and nerves all at once. I needed someone who would protect and watch over me because I was in such a bad place only months before, where I felt so alone. And I felt so darn lucky when you became that important figure I so desperately needed in my life.

I don't know how it happened, but we still love each other a lot.

I'm not afraid around you to say that I love you, and I'm not afraid to (slightly blush) and admit it's true.

They say no girl ever forgets her first love.

Thank you for being my best friend, my therapist, my "husband" my partner in crime, my protector, my big brother...

But most of all, thank you for being my very first love.
