A Collection of Letters for My One & Only

VII

Dear best friend, partner, companion;

Since December, you have visited a few more times and each time was a new experience for me. I learned new tings about you, me, and our awaited future together. We laughed, giggled, cried, and held on to one another as if that day was our last day together. I remember waking up to you by my side, patiently waiting for me to finally awaken. I have never felt so safe with someone to the point I feel asleep first and woke up last.

Whenever you have visited, I would dream of waking up next to you for the rest of my life but yet all those dreams would seem so distant when you would go back home. Now, we don't have to worry about time or distance because by June 1st, 2022, I moved in with you and the timing could not have been more perfect. I almost lost my home, my own mother and sibling acted as if I was burden, my sibling told me they hated me, and I felt hopeless, lost, and like a burden to everyone including you. But after countless sleepless nights you spent with me, I knew you didn't see me as a burden even though to this day, I still struggle with those thoughts.

My so called mother saved me from my abusive father but she and my sibling ended up to be just like him so I was never truly saved nor safe from them. When I saw an unfamiliar car pull into the driveway of the trailer I was staying in, I knew I was then safe for you were there to save me. I was never one for the stories of the damsel in distress being saved by the prince but you are my knight in shining armor.

Thank you for taking the time save me and for giving me a reason to live a life worth living.

~Forever yours, Avery Fawkes
