For Good,

I’ve heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn. And we are led to those who help us most to grow, if we let them, and we help them in return. Well, I don’t know if I believe that is true, but I know I’m who I am today because I knew you, and so…

I would never fault the person I was before I met my boyfriend. I was young, a little immature, and I always knew something was missing. As soon as I met him, I knew, and no matter how many times I had pushed him away or had been difficult, he has always stayed by my side and loved me unconditionally. There have been so many times when I have felt myself falling more in love with him, but I will never forget the first time: we were sitting in his car, I was in his arms, and I said to him, "Please don’t break my heart." We had not known each other for long, but I knew he would be special. That night was the best night of my life. I will cherish that memory for the rest of my life. I cannot believe how lucky I am to have someone as amazing as Dannen. And because I know you, I know there are so many more beautiful memories, special moments, and a wonderful future to come.

Because i knew you, i have been changed for good. x
