People say we are crazy
they say it is strange that we never fight
We do fight, we bicker, we disagree
we just happen to fight in person instead of on Facebook

They say we should get married
we act like a married couple so we might as well tie the knot
We do want to get married
We will marry when we are ready to not because the world thinks that we should

They say you should be more romantic and buy me things
I don't want expensive dinners and diamonds
You know that about me
You are romantic
They don't know about the dances in the rain
or that one time we flew all the way to Chicago in the winter time
just so you could kiss me in the snow because you knew that is all I wanted for Christmas

They say I never talk about you or show you off on social media so I must be unhappy
I am happy
I love how you wear Mickey Mouse ears just to make me laugh,
how you memorized my favorite One Direction song
so you can sing it to me out of tune while I am doing the dishes
I love coming home from work and seeing the house cleaned because you know I hate messes
I don't have time to post every detail about you on the internet because I am too busy spending time with you

I really love it when someone sees you at the bar with some girl
and they immediately think you're cheating on me
when in reality the girl you were with was your sister and you both were waiting for me to leave work so we could all go to dinner together

It is funny how people can be so nosy and judgmental about things they know nothing about
It does not matter though
We love each other so much
We prove it to each other everyday without the internet's help
We are madly in love with each other
That is all that matters.

I woke up at 3 am unable to go back to sleep
I did not want to be in bed alone
I wanted you right next to me
I could have sent you a text
maybe a phone call would have been good
But I am a hopeless romantic
so I did what every girl should
I put on a pair of jeans
slipped on some sandals and grabbed my keys
It was sprinkling outside
so I grabbed a hoodie too big for me that it almost touched my knees
I drove over to your place
not sure if you would be awake
As I pulled up to your house
I saw you sitting outside as if you were waiting for me
You stood up as I got out of the car
you chuckled as I walked to you
"I COULDN'T SLEEP!" you yelled
As I put my arms around your neck so you could lean down to kiss me
"Me neither" I said
"That is why I am here, I can't seem to sleep without you"
Then without hesitation you led me into your house
where we fell asleep in your bedroom until noon

You are not broken
You are injured
You are strong in the Lord
You will get through whatever challenge comes your way
You are clothed in strength
You have God on your side
His love for you will never fail

I have no idea what you look like
but I know you are flawlessly beautiful
I have never touched you
but I can feel your arms around me as I sleep
I have never heard your voice
but I hear the sweet things you whisper to me
I have never spoken to you in person
but I know that I can trust you with anything
I do not know what makes you tick
I do not know what kind of music you are into
I do not know anything about you
All that I know is you're from the future
You're my soul mate who is waiting for me
and until we meet I will continue to search for you
so that when we meet in person
I can show you this poem to prove I have loved you before I met you
and I will continue to love you even after I die

I do not want to be told I love you anymore
People say that way too much and half the time they do not even mean it
It is to the point that I do not even believe in that anymore
Instead of saying I love you
Tell me I complete you
Tell me I am perfect to you just the way that I am
Tell me that I matter to you
That would be enough

I used to know what I wanted to be when I grew up
For as long as I could remember
my dream was to be a writer
I always thought I needed to know the future in order to be happy
Now that I am at the age where I can work hard to be anything I want to be
I am starting to see how wrong I was
I can be a writer
I can be a model
I can be a mother
I can spend all of my time working my *** off if I wanted to
Working all of the time became an addiction like cutting
There was no time to enjoy anything
I was so busy putting pressure on myself
that I forgot how to live in the moment
All of the hours I spent working
All of the time I spent trying to be the perfect adult was a waste of time
Life was passing me by and I was missing it
Working is a good thing
however there is more to life than work
It is okay to not know what to do with your life
No one has their **** together
Age does not mean anything
Take time to enjoy yourself
Take time to just be
Take time to do what makes you happy
Life is unfair and difficult
but life has a way of falling perfectly together in a way you never dreamed of
Working is a necessity but so is happiness

She said "I just want to make an impact on the world. I want to feel like I matter. I want to make a difference. I want to feel like my presence makes someone else's life a little bit better."

He said " Oh honey, if you knew how much of an impact you make on this world you would be terrified. You matter so much it is upsetting that you do not see that. You make a difference everyday just by being you and trust me when I say your presence does more than make someone else's life better. Your presence is enough to cure a grown man's anxiety attack, your presence is the light in someone's darkness and every time I have the pleasure of being in your company I am amazed with who I see. Every moment with you is an adventure that I wish would never end. Believe me when I say that if you ever went away, hearts would break and the world would grieve until the end of time."
