Before you, I never pictured myself writing a love letter. To me, the idea was merely a cliché, something you only heard about in songs or saw in movies. That was before I fell in love with you.

I’ve always been an independent person, creating a distance between me and past love interests. I’ve never been the “warm” and “cuddly” girlfriend. I never even thought I’d actually want t hold hands with someone in public. I definitely never thought I would miss someone seconds after leaving them. Meeting you changed that.

Waiting to meet you for the first time was the only time I was nervous about seeing you. From then on, I have been nothing but excited when I know I will get to see you. You make me feel at peace. Almost automatically once our relationship began, I found myself a happier person in so many ways: less stressed and more optimistic and confident with who I am and the decisions I make. I had developed an overall contentment about life. I would find myself uncontrollably gushing about you. Your laugh, your stories, your knowledge about things that other people do not even notice, I was – and still am –infatuated with you.

I’ve always heard that the way to know if you’re with the person you’re meant to be with is if you wanted to spend every possible minute with them, never tiring of their company. I prayed that I would one day find that person, and I got lucky enough to find that in you. You are my biggest blessing.

I have big ambitions, and you have been nothing but supportive. You have never once tried to hold me back. You make me feel like I am capable of anything. Every minute with you is bliss.

I love everything about you. I love all your quirks, and I love that you love me despite mine. I love that you teach me new things every day – about myself, about music, about life, about love, about all sorts of random things. I love so much about you, I could go on and on.

Thank you for being you. I love you. Happy Valentine’s Day.

(Share this, or a version of this, with your SO or whoever makes you feel this way to show them how much they mean to you this Valentine’s Day!)
