"
when I first fell in love with the woman who ended up being my wife, someone said to me: “all good things must come to an end.” They didn’t say it in direct relevance to my relationship with my girlfriend, but the words still stuck with me. I came to the realization that this woman was the best thing that had ever happened to me, and in that moment I made the decision that I wasn’t going to let her go without a fight.
From that day on, I made sure I didn’t take a single moment with her for granted. I made sure she knew how much she meant to me. Sure- we’ve had our ups and downs, every relationship has them, But she’s been my rock, my friend, the person who’s not afraid to tell me the truth, and she was, and is, the answer to my prayers. When I first met her, 13 years ago, she swept me off my feet, and to this day, my feet have still not touched the ground.

He touches the bare skin above my belt with his hand and my body reacts pulling him closer. My hands wander over the surface of his back, like little settlers claiming land in America.
He lightly kisses my shoulder and murmurs something intelligible into his pillow. He says it with such surrender and honesty and heartfelt sincerity. I think for a moment, then all at once I realize what was said.
“I love you.”
I won.
