You ever had that feeling that the moment we met there was a connection so strong that we were drawn to each other in a way not felt before? Over a period of time, I felt love so deep and strong, yet complicated. In you, I have found my soulmate.

One thing for sure is that we’re two opposite poles. The yin and the yang. With you, I’ve learned to understand the depth of the word “complicated”. I on the other hand was always “predictable”.

I never say things I’m not sure of. But the day I said “I love you”, I was sure. And when I said it, it wasn’t because I wanted to hear it back. It was because I meant it.

I never commit to things I’m not serious with. The day I said “forever”, I meant that too. When I said it, I wasn’t waiting for a “me too” reply. It was a commitment to spending my life with you.

I’ve seen you grow into a successful and beautiful person during our 14 years together. And while we’ve had our ups and downs, you’ve also given me reasons to laugh and smile. Those memories I will always cherish.

You’ve totally pushed me harder than I would have myself. And taken leaps of faith when I am unsure. I’m still unsure with a lot of things. Even at my age. But I know you’ll be here when I need that shoulder to cry on or miserable moment to share with.

I can’t promise to be here the rest of your life, but I promise to love you the rest of mine.

Thank you. For everything.

Love,

There are different forms of love. And each has its own story to tell.

During our teenage years, our growing hormones dictate to our bodies the kind of relationships we long for. Everyone knows what it’s like to fall in love. Be loved. To suffer heartbreaks. Love after all, is a choice we all make. Oh I’m not talking about the platonic love here. It’s the one that brings giggles, smiles, comfort and security. It’s the kind of love where choices are made, consequences happen and we pray that it ends in happily-ever-afters. Or not.

Some of us are just hopeless romantics. I for one had a few relationships before settling down. We all fall in and out of love for the wrong and right reasons. In a relationship it’s never always about you alone. It’s always about us. And many relationships or attempts at relationships fail because we forget why we exchanged “vows”. We chase the wrong things.

When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.

Over time, we forget that the relationship we forged is about making each other better. In a relationship, there is no more “I”. It’s always “we”.

The battles and challenges in life are no longer personal because somehow, someone will help us get through the tough times. The good times will be cause for celebration.

Trust. Fidelity. Truth. They are all essential elements of every relationship. It’s important that we keep these in mind in our journey to forever after.

It has been quite a ride on the roller coaster of love. I’ve had my highs and lows. I hope you like my love letters this month. I’m writing these for you.
