You dont actually have to hide your feelings to protect yourself.

Andyourselfisnt actually the only person that you could rely on.

Your person reminds you that youareenough every single day.

They make you feel valued.

It isnt just about slapping a label on the relationship.

Its about staying faithful.

About working as a team.

You know that you cant get lazy after the puppy love stage ends and the comfort sets in.

You cant wait to hit each of those milestones.

You cant wait to make more memories.

You get used to them always being there.

You accidentally treat them like crap on occasion, because you know they arent going anywhere.

You know they will never leave you.

But there are other times when you realize how fortunate you are.

When you open your eyes and see how much you have, how much youve created together.

Times when you are thankful for every kiss, every hug, every laugh, every breath.

When you find the person you are going to spendforeverwith, you feel like everything is falling into place.

Like you have finally found where you belong.
