To you,
Today I am thankful for having met someone as wonderful as you.
I must have done something really right to deserve having you in my life.
With us,
it is not as perfect as a fairytale love story.
We quarrel, we face problems and we have our fair share of unhappy moments and disagreements.
We don't appear to be the most loving couple around.
You don't splurge on lavish gifts for me every other day.
You don't spend months planning the perfect surprise for me.
I'm someone who is really impatient and short tempered at times,
often venting my frustrations on you.
(Haha I can totally imagine you nodding when you read this!)
I am not as encouraging as I should be towards you.
I am not the sweetest and most thoughtful girlfriend around and I even booked a work trip on our actual day of anniversary this year.
But amongst all the imperfection in our relationship,
our love towards each other never falters.
Because we understand that true love is almost never perfect.
But we always try.
Through all my problems,
you are always there to hear me rant and let me cry on your shoulder.
You are always providing me with every solution that you have thought possible.
You have seen me at my worst and you're still willing to embrace all of me.
So, thank you for loving me when I least deserve it,
because that's when I really need it.
"You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones."
I love you.
Love,
Me
