When I was 5 years old my cousin was babysitting me the little neighbor and his mommy were walking up the street
She told me that he would be my soulmate, but I told her he was yucky and then I went on to playing with my dolls
When I was 6 he rode with me on the bus everyday, he did everyday until he drove me.
When I was 8 he helped me with numbers and I helped him with cursive.
When I was 10 we went trick or treating and he dressed up as a prince so I could dress up as Cinderella.
When I was 12 he was my best friend, he didn't have any drama; but he always listened to mine.
When I was 14 he beat up my boyfriend for snapping my heart, then he took me home and let me cry on his shoulder.
When I was 16 he and my friends planned my birthday party, then he taught me how to drive in his dad's old truck.
When we were 18 he worked so hard to try and get into the same college as I was going to and he did, then he finally asked me to be his girlfriend and we were in love, but they called us 'too young' to know what love was.
When I turned 20 he took me to a birthday dinner. When we got there he dropped to one knee, looked into my tear-stained eyes and the neighbor boy asked me to marry him. I barely got out 'yes' before I was in his arms.
Later that night I called my cousin and muttered
"you were right about him"
through my tears
