He is the person who gives me strength. The person I constantly think about. The person I’d be lost without.
He is my person and my best friend.

I am ever so glad we met and clicked right away. Despite our few differences, I freaking love you.
I love the way you get mad if I don’t say it back. The way you talk to your friends about me and the way I talk to mine about you. I love our daily selfies, although we get them once a week. I love your jokes, and how you pretend to laugh at mine. But, most importantly, I love how we bring out the best in each other. You are my best friend and I love you. Thank you for being you. I cannot wait for what is in store for the years to come!
