“H” by Legend H

 

Describing how my life was changed three years ago I would say it was all because of him. There aren’t any exact words to describe how I feel about him or how much he means to me or even our story together. But as he stood behind that tree on that sunny spring day three years ago, anticipating my answer as I read the words on that white piece of paper, it was like all the emotions flooded into my heart effortlessly. And then one day he just held my hand and I didn’t ever want to let go. As time went on our smiles got brighter and our hearts mended deeper. Everyday I found something new to cherish about him. Our bond was inseparable, our spirits were higher than the clouds, and our hearts were pulled together as one. Then one day, the words “I love you” quietly filled my ears as he looked me in the eyes on that gloomy autumn day. My cheeks filled with a blushing pink and it dawned on me this boy I said yes to six months ago treasured me in a way nobody has ever done before, making me feel like I could accept myself, considering he had already done so. We went on day by day enjoying each others presence, learning and growing with one another. We stood together through heartaches, pain, and our lowest of lows. Months went by and our love for each other only got deeper. Each year we entered, we promised new adventures, endless amount of love and support, and to be there for one another through the worst of times and best of times. He taught me throughout the years how to stand with someone, how to trust and love, and what it is like to be accepted by someone else. He taught me the meaning of dedication and sacrifice and how to put another being before myself. He taught me to love and appreciate the person I am and to always remember I am important. He has taught me thousands of valuable lessons over our years together and I could not be more thankful. One of my most cherished lessons I have learned from him, is if you find that one certain person in your life, falling in love with them will be extraordinary and beautiful, the feeling is indescribable. I do not know when it happened. It just happened, and I'm grateful it did. You cannot predict when something like this will happen. It is too precious to know when it is coming. It was easy. Unpredictable. Natural. But it was perfect. It was perfect because despite my flaws and imperfections he stood with me, and fell for me, as I did for him. I don't know when it happened, but I know how. It was somewhere between him tracing the tiny bumps on my arms with his fingertips, that I have come to love or me feeling the scar above his right eyebrow, or him counting the freckles on my face with his lips. It was somewhere between introducing him to my family and him telling me the dreams he has at night. It was between the first kiss we shared and his laughter when he noticed how clumsy I am. Between our first argument, our walks, our park dates, our long talks, our happiness together, it just happened. It was the simple things that made something so beautiful.
