dear love,
remember those random hi’s in sophomore, junior, and senior year? (because you were too cool to talk to me during our freshie days ;) they’d made me lowkey giddy. HAHAHA, but I was sure you wouldn’t like me back so I laid back, but sure enough & in time, you grew more and more on me - though I told myself after junior year that I wanted to stay single through the rest of high school to avoid the possibility of getting hurt..again. I guess you can say I guarded myself, yet somehow you charmed your way into my heart. remember that night we talked about eloping to Canada so we can get away? remember how it led to our long conversations and our first date? those butterflies were fantastic. the view was spectacular. the movie remains as one of our topfavorites (among the 100 we’ve probably watched ahahha). remember when I first met your mom before our walk? that was realllyyyy cute! remember when you asked me to be your girlfriend? I had NO idea and the slipping of the ring on my finger was very well planned (have to give you that one :) remember the mixtapes and cookies I baked on our anniversaries? (they were Pillsbury premade dough :D :P) remember how you asked me to prom during dances? you had Meg pretend to be sick and got Jazz to ask me to take a look at something, and being as naive as me..I bought it! and there you stood, with a large poster held by Bri & Char and a dozen of beautiful red roses :) I couldn’t thank you and the girls enough for helping with the promqueencampaign, and I’ll always remember that look you gave me when I somehow..won. remember the very many walks, the sneaking out, the sleepovers at our houses, the venturing to find a favorite restaurant, the phone calls? remember when we first said “I love you”? it came soon, fast, and sudden, but it felt so natural, effortless actually. love to me, was something I didn’t declare if I didn’t really mean it. remember taking Anthony to the zoo? how you carried him when he was too tired? (he zoo-ed himself all the way to sleep in the car :P) remember the most adventurous summer? our Disneyland trip with Jackie?! (he had TOOOO much fun, hahahhaa) remember when you ran over 5 miles to my house with a duffel bag while texting me when your clutch broke? (sweaty Jets shirt!)
high school was great, but the ride after that was just as, if not more, amazing. spending every day with you has been a blessing. thanks for sharing your life with me, your family - mama&pops, your sisters, Anthony, and grandma (and the cousins&uncles&aunts I’ve met) they’ve been really really sweet :) thanks for being my better other half - for always caring, TAKING care, comforting, being there for both me & my mama & jackie), for lending me a shoulder to cry on when I’d have breakdowns about missing my brother, for helping me with anything&everything, for the many things you do for me buticantnamethemall. despite what you think, I need you just as much, if not more, as you need me. I know the past haunts the both of us in ugly ways, but we’re moving on. it doesn’t matter because there will always be someone or something that WILL interfere in a relationship (and that’s true for nearly every couple). it’s you & me, as you say “against the world” with our families & our many pets. hahaha
it’s a bit ironic how..in the beginning, we’d always say how it felt as if we’ve been together for a long (but good) time, but now as more months go by..we say it feels like it’s only been a little while, and it’s gotten to the point where we need a 30 hour day because the regular isn’t enough hahahha. you’re so cute, and beautiful, especially (inside&out) thanks for putting up with my psycho-ness sometimes HAHA girls will be girls.
and finally, remember that I love you. always! I fall for you even more every day (CHEESY/CORNY, yes, but also very true) thanks for keeping a smile on my face & my heart.
<3
with all my love,
Becca
