You make me want to write the most beautiful love letters of all time. For you I would string together words that are say the unspeakable, but then again, that's not really us is it?

We are not "proper" or "elegant" we are loud and clumsy, laughing and screaming on joy, we are silly expressions and poking fun at each other. We are tripping and stumbling and falling over each other while laughing constantly together. We are messily eating burritos at chipotle, and getting grass stains on preppy pants. We are throwing each other into the water and tickling each other. We are getting into knots from recreating the snuggling positions. We are 2 years old at heart, wild and crazy in the morning but lights out by 10.

We are us, and I think "us" is perfect in the best way.

my boyfriend might not be what most people would consider perfect. he's flawed. he forgets things. sometimes he hurts my feelings even if he doesn't mean to. he can be thoughtless, and sometimes he can be incredibly frustrating.

but I don't care what most people consider perfect.

people like to dwell on the small things that don't matter. they don't know how sincere, kindhearted, and genuinely good he is. they don't see his charm, or hear his clear wit and intelligence. they've never had conversations with him like I've had, about our hopes for the future and secret confessions. they don't know how loved I feel, or how he holds me in his arms like I'm his entire world, or how he kisses my forehead. they don't know that he's written me songs and sang them to me while blushing like a madman, or that he's given me poems. they don't know about how he always apologizes when he messes up. they don't know how good he makes me feel, that way he can brighten my day without trying and make me laugh like crazy at all his silly jokes. he values me as a person, and respects me, and goes out of his way to be with me.

my boyfriend is perfect to me, and I love him exactly the way he is. I'd do anything for him and I know that he loves me too. I can feel it. And I know that's the most important thing.
