Life Changes When You Meet Your Forever Person

A.L

If I was given the same assignment now, I would turn in an empty paper.

This past year, I have learned a lot.

I have learned that planning the future takes away from the present.

I never planned on falling in love.

I never planned on finding my forever person at a young age.

I never planned on giving one person the power to hurt me in the worst ways imaginable.

My letter described a small, overpriced apartmentmade for one.

I wasnt looking for you.

But I found you, and for that I am forever grateful.

You are my guidepost on the gloomiest of days.

A warm ray of sunshine directing me toward a safe haven.

Thank you for showing me acceptance.

Thank you for inspiring me to become a better person.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your world.

I want a forever with you.

I want to spend every day for the rest of my life with you.

I want to fall asleep in your arms at dusk.

I want to wake up beside you at dawn.

I can be happy with you, but to do that is unimaginable.

Although my assignment never touched base on a forever life with a soulmate, Im glad it didnt.

I believe that unplanned love is lustrous.

I believe that an unplanned life is exciting and radiant.

Thank you for being you.

Thank you for loving me effortlessly and unconditionally.

Thank you for unexpectedly entering my life.

I fall in love with you everyday.

The butterflies never fade away.
