To the man who I never thought I would meet,

To the man who I never thought I would meet,

         We met in the most unlikely of places. Our story began in the most unlikely of ways. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was waiting on you to come into my life. You’re the man I thought I would never meet. You came into my life right when I was ready to give up on the idea of falling in love. You saved me in ways I didn’t know that I needed to be saved.

         I knew the moment you kissed me that my life was about to change. However, what I didn’t know, was just how lucky I was to have you in my life. Now, I sit here in a moment of complete clarity and realize that I was destined to meet you that night. I am truly blessed to have met you, and I just wanted to take time to tell you as to why I feel this way.

Your immense love for your family is astounding. Your commitment to your family was not only refreshing to find in a man, but was also incredibly attractive. The way you light up when you talk about your son is breathtaking. I've noticed just how much you love not only your son, but your entire family. I could tell how proud you are to be a father and how you would do anything for your son. This was the first time I realized that you were different from any other man that I had ever met.

Your enticing personality can make anyone fall for you. The night we met we talked and laughed for hours. Even though we were with friends, the only person I saw or heard was you. I got to know so much about you and you made me feel comfortable to tell you things about me. Opening up to someone who is a complete stranger is not something I make a habit of doing. Yet, some how you made me feel like I had known you my whole life. As the months went by we spent every day getting to know each other more and more. The more I learned, the more I wanted to know. The more we talked, the more I found myself laughing like I used to. I found myself happier than I had been in a very long time and I have you to thank for that. 

        

The way you make me feel when you wrap your arms around me. From the first night we spent together to the last hug you gave me, I have always felt something. I didn’t realize till now what that feeling was. It was, is, the feeling of completion. The way that my body fits perfectly beside yours, and the way you hold me so tight when we say good-bye, its like my body was made to fit with yours. You not only make me feel safe, but you make me feel as if nothing else in the world matters. You make me feel at home, even when we’re hundreds of miles away from our home.

The way you look at me. We have spent the majority of our time together talking over FaceTime; and every now and then you think I’m not looking at the screen or checking my phone and I see the way you look at me. Words can not express how I feel when I catch those moments. My favorite part of spending time with you in person is waking up and seeing you smile back at me. One look from you can melt away any stress, or heart ache that I may feel.

Your incredible work ethic. I have honestly never met someone that works as hard as you do. As I type this you have four jobs. Four. I am amazed by how hard you work in order to provide for your son and your self. Although I worry about you working to hard and not taking care of yourself sometimes, I know that you will do whatever it takes to give your son the best life you can. It is because of that, that I want to help you in anyway that I can.

You make me feel undeniably beautiful. I have had past relationships with great guys. But now that I have met you, I know why it didn’t work out with them. They never made me feel the way you do. They would tell me that I was beautiful and it made me feel good to hear them say that. However, I never felt beautiful, till you said it. When you said that I was beautiful I not only believed you, but I FELT beautiful.

There are not enough words in the English language that I could use to describe how you make me feel. But if I had to only pick one, it would be Blessed. I am not a religious person, nor do I put much stock in destiny or fate, but since I met you I have had this feeling that we were meant to meet. We were meant to find each other. I don’t think that there is a better way to describe our story other than destined. How else do describe me getting job offers in your hometown?

All I know is that I wake up every morning wishing that you were with me; and I fall asleep every night wishing I were in your arms. I smile every time I see your name pop up on my phone. And now I’m counting the days till I move to your city so that we can be together every day.

I don’t know what the future has in store for us, but I know that I will face whatever it is with a brave face and ready for anything attitude as long as I know that you will be beside me. In the short amount of time that we have known each other you have changed my life in so many ways. You have shown me that I can not only love again, but that I can trust again. You make me believe in Love again. You make me believe in the fairy tale of soulmates again. For that alone, I am forever grateful.

So, thank you for everything you have done, and will do. You are an incredible man, father, and friend. I am beyond blessed to have you in my life and all I can hope for is that you will be in my life for many years to come. I feel as if our story is just getting started and I can’t wait to see where it will lead us next.
