When I met you, I wasn’t expecting anything.
I had my heart ripped apart only a few months before. I spent 2 years in a messy, emotionally abusive relationship and was in a terrible place. I had lost myself completely and when I looked in the mirror, I saw someone I didn’t even recognize let alone like. I was numb to the world and afraid to feel any hint of an emotion, good or bad.
I had only just started putting the pieces back together, trying to feel whole again. I was just starting to love myself again, how could I expect anyone else to?
And then you happened.
From the minute I met you, I knew there was something different about you. You understood me completely as if you could see right through me. We started out slowly, but you have made me come alive. You awoke something in me I thought I had lost forever.
Suddenly, I wanted to feel again. And I do. I have fallen for you completely. You’ve opened up my heart, and I am no longer afraid of what might happen. You’re worth any risk.
I’ve started to remember all the things I used to love about myself. All the things I used to love doing, the things that truly made me happy. I started dancing in the shower again and singing in the car. I started taking care of myself again. I had given it all up before.
I feel more like myself than I have in a long time. I feel free and alive. Suddenly I’m weightless – all my anxiety and self-doubt is in the past. I’m living for me.
Whatever happens, this is who I am now. I know I will never give up this girl again, and I will always have you to thank for giving her back to me.
