The story of us

If I were to flashback this exact day to exactly a year ago, I would still be single and missing out on one of the greatest blessings in my life.

More than a year ago, we were merely acquaintances in a large world of other acquaintances. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought of us together. Our journey began with a crazy lady to whom I owe a bit of thanks in her inadvertant role in the turn of things. In a very cliche manner our friendship budded over the wonders of a blue trimmed MSN chatbox in which I missed out on a lot of sleep. Chatting throughout the day never seemed to be enough and those chats would be transferred to SMSes when either one or both of us were away from the computer.

Through outings which can only be described as awkward and silent, we progressed into friends and later into something more deeper and meaningful. After he went off for his NS stint, I thought to myself, well, there he goes, another friend to have walked through my heart and there I thought our paths would never meet again. Somehow, we kept in touch.

Now, looking back at all those months, I'm left again in this very cliche situation where words are beyond me. Nothing can measure the depth of feelings I have for you and I find myself just wanting to say thank you.

Thank you, you, for being all that you are.
Thank you, you, for 'layaning' my nonsense
Thank you,you, for keeping me company through the night and never once laughing at my fear for supernatural things though I know what you think of those.
Thank you, you, for all the little things you do for me and never realise I notice, that mean so so so much.
Thank you, you, for your long talks on leukemia and other oh so scary diseases that come from a few of my favourite foods ;P
Thank you, you, for loving me

Baby it's been a whirlwind year of exciting discoveries, of laughs and fits of sulking on my part in which you always always cheer me up. You never realise how adorable you are to me especially when you concentrate on something so intently you never realise my little smile as I look on. I remember one night when we had an awful row and in a fit of immaturity I kept saying how much I hated you but you never let go and instead told me you'll never stop loving me. As I look back at all that has happened, and the strength of the foundation that love has built and at how right it feels just hearing your voice or how being near you lights me up, I am amazed how I could have thought once, not too long ago that we would never make it together.

I could list out an infinity of reasons why I love you so much, but they would all boil down to 3 simple words. I love you, because................ I just do.

Happy anniversary baby. Here's to looking forward to many many many many many more wonderful and crazy years together.
