Alyssa,
I can't believe we are coming up to a year. It seems to have gone by so fast, yet I have cherished every moment with you like it was the most precious and fleeting moment that I will have in my life. When I see your smile I see a beautiful and wondrous future, when I see your eyes I see my whole world, a reflection of all the things that make life worth living. I can remember the first moments that I saw you, I didn't know it then, but I could feel that you were different, you were special, you were made for me and I was made for you.
I can still see your bright red hair and sweet smile sitting in the corner of Chez Elle, I can still feel the flutter of my chest as I looked at you and tried to make pleasant conversation hoping to whatever god may be out there that you didn't think I was the biggest weirdo in the world. Those feelings never left me, and every day with you still feels like that first date and every moment that I am not with you feels like the moments that I stared at my phone hoping that you would text back to my cheesy jokes, and ignore the ridiculousness of me having a gigantic board covering the broken window in my apartment.
My one hope in life is that you and I can grow old together, see the world together and complete Legos together for as long as we possibly can, and in another life we will meet again and do it all over. I truly believe you are my soulmate, the one I was meant for and was meant for me, and I wouldn't want to do life with anyone else.
Perhaps this isn't what you were expecting when you solved my little puzzle, but I wanted to take the time to truly let you know just how important you are to me... you're my reason for smiling when I struggle, you're the one that keeps me going when I feel like I can't go any further, you've kept me sane even in my most insane moments and I don't think I could be the same person I am today without you. I am better than I have ever been, happier, more confident, and more in love than I ever thought I could be.
You're the love of my life beautiful and I hope this life goes on forever, so that you can remain just that.
I love you to the moon and stars, and all the way back.
