I believe our lives are complied of a montage of moments. I believe some of these moments have infinite meaning and certain choice can influence the rest of your life forever.

I've wanted to write about us for as long as I can remember but I could never find the words that were quite right. Our love is not an epic star crossed lovers tale nor is it the will they won't they series that keeps you hooked. Our love is not extravagant, it is not the sort of thing best selling books and Hollywood films are made of. However it is meaningful. Our love is ours.

Maybe I'll never find the right words and my metaphors will forever be cliche but I will try anyways. I have to. You are simply one of the most incredible people I have ever met and I believe that more people should see you the way I do. You are perceived as ordinary but that couldn't be further from the truth. You find me when I am lost and your every breath is filled with life. You make me want to be better. I am. I am a better person with you.

And while we cannot always be together physically, we are usually separated by miles and miles, my heart, my soul, the very essence of my being is with you. You see me completely, all the gory, vulnerable, mad bits as well as the good. You know first hand how difficult I can be but you love me anyways. And you know what? I love who I am when I'm with you.

So that is why I'll keep on attempting to put what is ours into words. For you. I want you to know how amazing you are and how much I love every part of you, even the parts that sometimes drive me mad.

We might not have had love at first sight but let me tell you we don't need it. I fall in love with you more and more everyday. This love is ours.  Now where do I begin?
