"my love, my life.
My best friend, my favorite person.
you never cease to amaze me and make me feel like I'm worth something in this life.

After confessing my fears of why, I procrastinate on publishing my writing, my story, you said something to me, that was short and and sweet, but that ill never forget.

I told you how I was scared, of how people would treat me after knowing the real me, and what has happened in my life.

And you told me,

"I hope that no matter what, no one ever tries to hurt you physically anymore. In any way, for any reason. And I know it may not be much, but I will protect you always. I will stand in front of you and fight for you if I have to. I can't promise you I'll win, but I'll promise you won't ever get hurt in any way anymore."

And in that moment, I know that I'm valid to others.
I consider myself valid, to myself because at times I have to be my own best friend.

you've showed me that others can care for me too.
And yes you're my boyfriend, and maybe you don't know what love is.
Maybe you don't know how to feel or project what love can be to you.
And you have yet to maybe tell me you love me if you ever feel you found it.
But in that moment, I did feel loved.

And it was one of the purest forms of it.

And I will tell you every i love you, while I can.
Because tomorrow is never promised,
And we aren't promised forever.

Thank you for being in my life and choosing me."
