It might seem soppy; but Jay I knew that I loved you the moment I met you. Laying next to you in bed, the silly conversations that we have, You will never know how much I appreciate that I have you as a partner. I believe everything happens for a reason, I remember the first time I saw your face, I had an indescribable desire to get to know you, and no, it wasn’t because you are incredibly handsome.
When we met you were incredibly compassionate and kind, considering I’d just suffered a broken shoulder and traumatic brain injury. Although you had no moral obligation to do so, you cooked for me, helped me with the littlest of things and constantly checked in on me when we weren’t together. The chemistry was instant, but you were respectful and a friendship quickly developed into the beginnings of our relationship.
When I wasn’t with you I felt irritable, could not stop thinking about you and was perpetually perplexed as to whether you felt the same. As we grew closer, those feelings only intensified, but I was tongue tied metaphorically as I wanted to tell you how I felt but I couldn’t, the fear of rejection or the possibility that these feelings were not mutual was enough to render me silent.
But the elephant in the room became unbearable, hidden glances, non-verbal cues detailed everything we both wished we could. I can honestly say, like a bolt of lightening, came the realisation as to what this was, a true/ undeniable love, then what guarantee do we have in life that this would ever come around again? So we had that ‘conversation’ and thankfully we both felt the same.
Jay I would be a very wealthy man if I had £1 for every person who has said that you bring out the best in me, you have taken me from a state of flux to a place of contentment. Yes we have faced ups and downs, but what defines our relationship is that our love grows stronger with every passing day. We have shared some absolutely amazing memories to date and here is to many more.
Love you Jay XXXX
