Now, here we are half way through our first year and I could not be happier. Our relationship is something that I have never felt, the safety that I feel with you. You are someone who I can be my whole self around. I no longer worry about an argument erupting into a violent situation. I no longer worry about the right words to say to you just in case you are already angry. I no longer worry when I lay next to you that my boundaries are going to be violated. Now I can say no with confidence, and know that you will be okay and respectful of that. You gave me the most important part of me back, a sense of safety.
So thank you … thank you for being patient, loving, and caring. Thank you for listening to me when I needed to rant. Thank you for being supportive as I have taken on a journey to work through my past. My promise to you is to work hard at being the best version of me. I am working really hard to be the person that you deserve as well.
Most of all, thank you for loving me like all of those really cheesy love songs. Now I know that I will be “Somebody’s Chelsea.”
