6 years ago, I met you. And I don't know what, but you had a certain something that made me notice you. You were my crush, secretly. Maybe because back then you were chasing someone else. Then, I don't know what happened, but I guess you noticed me too? Not even a month passed, you asked me out. I accepted. Then we tried dating, though it didn't work out because you confused your feelings for her with me. The day before valentines day, and two days before our first month, you broke up with me. My first love, my first heartbreak. Then, I promised myself that I would never let a guy enter that easily into my heart. Boy, was I wrong.
Almost a year passed and a lot of dramas happened: we became best friends and you kept on chasing her while I kept comforting you. I also kept asking myself why I stay with you when I knew I was holding on to nothing. I guess I never really got over you. 5 years ago in October, you got what you've been wishing for all year. She finally loved you back, and that time, it was real. But that time, you didn't anymore. Because that time, you said you missed your best friend more than her. Every night, you wanted to talk to your best friend on the phone instead of her. When there was a sleepover at a friend's house, you wanted to sleep near your best friend, not her. That time, you said you love me, and not her. Now, this was not my plan. I never wanted to be a "boyfriend stealer". I was really contented with my situation and wished for nothing more than you to be happy, even if it was with her. But then, I still couldn't deny that fact that I loved you, the reason I have been staying by your side. So i broke my promise. Not even a month later, 5 years ago in November 15, we became 'us'. And then my forever began.
You became my everything. The best part of my day. Your good morning text brightens my morning while your voice on the phone was my lullaby at night. Even one text from you can turn my lousy day around. You know, I loved how you never run out of things to talk about. I loved how you can think of a joke just like that to make me laugh. I loved how every time I get mad, you know just what to do so I won't get mad at you anymore. I loved how you talk about the future, our future. I loved you. And now, on our fifth anniversary together, I can say that I love you more than yesterday, and I know I will love you even more tomorrow, until forever. I can't believe how far we've have come together.
I am proud of us. We've been through hell and back, and after all that, you're still here. I admit, more than once I wanted to give up on us, but you didn't walk away. So now I want to say thanks. Thank you for always choosing to stay. You always set your pride aside when it comes to me and I am grateful for that. I know I am still learning to do that, but I know that you won't let me go. Thank you for your endless patience. Thank you for listening to everything I have to say. Because of that, I learned to be confident of my feelings, to have faith in myself, to love myself. Thank you for five years of memories with you. Memories I will treasure forever. Thank you for being the best guy a girl could ask for. Thank you for being who you are.
Finally, I just want to say again that I love you. And that I won't ever get tired of saying it. Every relationship has their own definition of forever. Some lasts for a month, a year, 2 years, then its over. For us, I know it's far from that. Our forever's not done yet. I don't think it will ever be.
