There's so many different ways of looking at love. You can have love for so many things. People, places, animals, objects, words, smells. There is no right and wrong to say one person should love something and another should not. That's what I love about love. Its yours, yours to choose to give and yours to keep on giving, and should you be lucky enough to receive it back, well that's my kind of love, and I'm going to tell you about it.
I was lucky enough to meet the most special person in my life a little while back now. Everyone's had the relationships that don't for one reason or another work out, and if you haven't well that's ok. But if you happen to stumble (much like I did) across someone special, then hold on tight with both hands preferably, and don't let go.
I could tell you the endless list that I used to have in my mind of who the right person would be for me. Probably someone quite like Bradley Cooper (sorry Liam) but we all know that the illusions films fill us with are not ever the reality of which we live within. Although saying that I much prefer my reality, its honest. Maybe it doesn't hold the rosy tint of the Hollywood blockbuster romance, but its mine.
So as you probably have caught on, the love of my life is called Liam.
There are endless things that I love about him, I could literally bore you all day. He makes me happy in ways which I didn't think I ever could be. I'm part of a team where we are equals, no one ever gets chosen last. I love him because he makes me laugh, something so important in a world where we have to be so serious all the time. I get to be completely myself (should probably shave legs more often) but he understands me. I know that sounds cheesy, you know the stinky bishop kind of cheesy, but he sometimes knows something is upsetting me, even before I do. Liam works endlessly hard to keep us afloat, even if it means sacrificing things that he wants to do. Putting our needs as a couple before his own.
Don't get me wrong, nothing is perfect. Relationships take work, you will argue and fall out. But the loves that last are the ones you are willing to work at. Love is sacrifice, compromise and willingness, all rolled into one. We have had our fair share of these arguments, but we come out the other end just as strong. I maybe even love him even more as he puts up with my mad ways!
So Liam if your reading this, I want to say thank you.
Thank you for coming into my life when I didn't know that I really needed you. Thank you for being you, and making everyday special. Thank you for being there to help pick up the pieces, when it all seems to fall apart. Thank you for all the adventures. Thank you for all the love you give, and continue to give.
