To The BEST BOYFRIEND Ever

I Said "Yes" ♥️

Before you came around, "NO" was the majority of my vocabulary. I didn't believe I could change or good things were going to happen to me, because of all the bad things that never seemed to end. Then, one day you showed up and "YES" became a lot easier to believe.

I was at a low where it was hard for me to believe in myself, let alone anyone else when you met me. It was hard to think that you honestly wanted to be there and find out who I was.

But, I took a chance, and said, "yes." I said, "yes" to letting you in and breaking my walls down because you gave me a reason to.

This was the first of many.

Even before we started our journey, I knew how hard it was going to be with all the obstacles staring us in the face. Being 8,917 miles apart was not going to be easy. It meant a lot of time apart, long nights on the phone or Messenger or Skype or IMO.

With all the unknowns, I still said, "yes."

That was a tough decision that I have never regretted because I said, "yes" to so much more than the hard things.

I said, "yes" to finding my best friend, someone to experience and share life with, to laugh uncontrollably, and have romantic weekends every few months.

I said, "yes" to growing up and growing close with you and sharing everything life has to offer.

You made me say, "yes" to things I never thought I could be or do. I found the confidence to change myself, both mentally and physically. I told myself I can be better in every way I try, as long as I tell myself I can. You have never told or made me think I couldn't conquer the world.

Eventually, I started to ask myself, "is this who I want to be with and spend my life with?" And without hesitation, I said, "yes."

Edited I said it to every good time, bad time, challenge, praise, loved and sadly filled moments that were ahead of us. To the smiles, laughs, tears, days without being together, and hours of being on the phone until we were reunited.

I said, "yes" before you even asked if I wanted to spend my life with you, and I will say, "yes" every day, for the rest of our lives.
