I remember the first time you said you loved me.
You told me you loved me as a friend.
I said that I loved you as a kitty.
Do you know why I said that?
It's because I knew I didn't love you as a friend.
My feelings for you ran deeper than that.
We started talking more and more.
The more we talked, the harder I fell.
I wanted you, bad.
And then the greatest thing happened.
You admitted that you had feelings for me, too.
I was so happy.
I still remember that conversation.
Yet, I had a problem.
I couldn't date you yet.
You remember why.
It crushed me.
And I knew that it hurt you, too.
I was a freaking idiot.
But you were willing to wait for me.
You were willing to save your heart for me, remember? :)
That's how I knew that you weren't like any other guy.
You truly loved me.
It's been a little over a month since we started dating officially.
One month filled with love.
Each day, my love for you grows stronger.
I know your fears and you know mine.
I know your insecurities.
And I know you want to die.
So this my feeble attempt to give you a reason to live.
I want you to live so we can grow old together.
I want you to live so we can kiss and cuddle and snuggle.
Remember our plans for the summer?
I'll be there soon.
I want you to live so we can laugh when you turn 69.
I want you to live for me, for Iva, for everyone.
Because we love you.
Dalton, I know you don't think I should, but I will always see you as perfect.
I know you say that how you treat me is how any guy should treat his girl, that it's just you.
But that's why I love you.
You are there whenever I need you.
You have never let me down.
You pick me up when I break down.
You listen to and sympathize with my problems, even though they're not that big.
You think everything I do is cute.
You make me smile like an idiot.
You give me butterflies.
You are the reason I'm alive.
So let me be yours.
I love you.
I will always love you, as long as my heart continues to beat and my lungs continue to draw breath.
You are my one and only.
Stay strong, handsome.
I'll be by your side soon, my love.
