Words of gratitude will never be enough to pay this seemingly huge debt I have to you. I remember how you repeatedly told me that staying beside you forever would be enough. Forever is indeed a long time, but time and certainty were never in our hands. But in my prayers, I always include that may you be the always in many ways.
When I was a complete mess, you came like a tool that immediately fixed me; through ups and downs, you were there riding on my train. Pulling you to face the storms I face is not the situation I want you to be in, but you jumped without second thoughts. I fear I will turn weak in your presence no matter how much I condition my mind that you are here to be the source of my strength.
You poured in so much effort to understand my ways, learn my attitude, and respect the time I render for myself; you allow me to breathe, stand on my own, and gain enough confidence to do things on my own. You were not scared to watch me fly because you knew that when my wings got tired, you would be my resting place; proud to see me grow and achieve many things. After all, you always tell me you have seen it all coming. You enumerate what I deserve and always support me with what I want to do.
You said you wanted to witness the rainbow with me when the sun starts to shine on my horrendous life, be the first person to clap his hands when I slowly achieve my goals and dreams one after another.
I saw you love me even more during the trying times. When I cry, you always lend me your shoulders. Whenever I am sad, you do tricks to make me laugh. You memorized the pattern of my changing moods, which food lifts me up when I am gloomy, what makes me less of a grumpy girl; you watched my favorite shows with me, even if we have to watch the Shrek series and never get tired of the repetitive adventures of an ogre.
You have loved me as I am, and so I am to you. The way you see me would be the way I see you too. Our souls were match-made by heaven. I'm betting all I have; all that I am just to be with you until the finish line. We may not be sure how lucky we are with time, but I am fortunate enough to have found someone who is patient and kind. And I swear that until death, the love that we have shared will remain protected and bounded by trust and hope forever.
