True Love

When I think about you, I think about how lucky I truly am. I'm lucky to have someone to have, to hold, to love for the rest of my life. The rest of my life I have you. You'll be right by my side, not because you have to.., because you want to, because you need me, because you need me just as much as I need you. Its overwhelming, finding the person that you love, and falling in love with that person is the most overwhelming, exciting and terrifying thing in the world. But honestly I never understood what they meant. All the stories about spending one afternoon together and "knowing" that that person was the "one", or how one person could make you strive for the best things in life just to give it all to them. The feeling that you would die for them, literally die, or give up anything that was being asked of you. I didn't understand a lot of things before I found you. I didn't understand love. I didn't understand how people were so consumed in something that sometimes hurt so bad. I didn't understand what love could do, how it heals, protects and warms your heart. The feeling of being taken care of and actually knowing that you have a person who feels the same way you do. I didn't understand how one person could give you a whole new reason to breathe. I didn't understand how one person could make you feel so unbelievably happy with just one look, one smile, one kiss, but then I found you. And whatever I did.. whatever I said, that made you want to be a part of my life, I just thank God I did.
