Happiness was a distant dream. I was a raging pessimist. I would doubt myself and I would doubt others. I would segregate myself from an already isolated life. But all that changed when I met you. I knew you were the one to change my life. With your dazzling smile and your happiness. Your excitement and your love. But I never thought I would be this happy. I have the life I thought I would only dream about.
But I have grown with you. For once in my life I actually love myself, and I love you. I've let myself love. I have explored the strength of my love and yours. I have explored what it's like to be happy and that's because of you.
Consider me an explorer, and you're my favorite discovery.
