Shawn

I love him.

It's that simple really. No drama. No strings attached.

Just a good guy - a *GREAT* guy - that I was lucky enough to meet.

He "gets" it. He knows how to be in a relationship. He validates my feelings, however quirky or girlie they may be. He's strong and gentle all in the same being. Is that possible? Believe it.

I think I value him more because of what I've been through, what I've learned. That having a partner doesn't complete me, but accentuates.

I don't need him here, I want him here.

That when people leave, life does go on

You've heard it from me before, it's my mantra...

~Everything happens for a reason~

He is a great reason for all the sh!t I went through.

I tell him daily, but today I just felt like shouting it from the rooftops:

I LOVE YOU!
