I have spent years building the walls around my heart, protecting myself from guys like you. But deep inside I have always dreamed about someone who’s going to be patient enough to take down the bricks of the walls, piece by piece. And you did it.
I still don’t know how exactly you did it, but you were successful.
You took one step towards me every single day, inching your way in. You didn’t push me, you were patient, kind, and made me feel secure.
I was comfortable enough to believe I could trust you, so I made that step you were waiting for and I got into the happiest, most amazing, most exciting time of my life. I didn’t say it was perfect, we both had issues, but I still can see how much we have grown.
I was so proud of myself, of us. I felt I could fall in love with no fears, with no stupid, unnecessary games. I was a woman next to a man in an adult relationship, proud to be by your side. Proud of who I was by your side. You did love me, you did care about me, I know that.
