Life is Full of Unknowns, But You've Been the Biggest Surprise of All

At first, I didn’t expect anything from you. I mean, why would I? 

You were supposed to be a fling, a guy I’d likely see here and there and exchange a quick friendly glance with. Some guy that I’d probably never hate, but certainly would never love either. 

I’ve always been so used to doing things for me, because there wasn’t a single person I thought was worth it. Being selfish was working well, until you came along. 

Now, I think about you in everything I do, and everything I say. 

I seriously love you so stinking much, it’s disgusting. And, I certainly never expected that.

I expected you to be kind, caring, and annoyingly cute because well it’s just who you are. But, it wasn’t supposed to affect me. It wasn’t supposed to rock me to my core or make me question everything about who I am and who I plan to become someday.

You were never supposed to be the one to challenge me in ways that I often despise you for. Despite knowing what you say may hurt me, you always tell me what I need to hear. 

As nice as you can be, you certainly have another side. And, to my surprise, I’ve grown to really enjoy that sassiness quite a bit.

Despite the obvious amount of awesomeness I exude on a daily basis, you’ve somehow made me that much more awesome. I had no idea it was even possible!

You’ve even mastered your ability to bring out my sometimes seemingly unlovable side, which has only made me realize how truly loveable I am.

I’m pretty awful sometimes, but you love me anyway. Sometimes, you love me a little extra just because you can.

You laugh at me, with me, and even, sometimes, when it’s hard to do so myself, for me. 

You’ve shown me that love comes in all shapes and sizes and that no two couples express their love the same way, even though, we both agree, that our way is obviously the right way.

You say much by saying little. Sometimes, you say nothing at all, and I understand one hundred percent. 

You’ve proven time and time again that no obstacle is too big for us to get through, as long as we have each other.

I definitely never expected to become anything like all the love-sick maniacs I’ve been known to cringe at, but with you, I just can't help it. Thanks, thanks a lot.
