Lovebug,
Not a moment goes by where I do not think of you, or wish you were with me. Whether it is stepping out to move your car or in class or gone for the summer I miss you. Our relationship has changed so much within the past 3 years and grown to be such a mature love; I wouldn’t trade all of the arguments or the fights that got us to this place for the world. I wish you knew how special you are to me and how much you have changed my life; as corny as it sounds you believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself and gave me hope when I thought all was lost. We have so many major life decisions coming up that I can not wait for but I want you to make sure that we both keep our focus to be to celebrate our love. I know it will be a long process, but I don’t want it to ever feel like a task.I hope you know how much you mean to me, and the fact that you are so serious about these life steps (to my surprise :P) make me cherish our relationship that much more. I love that you see us as seriously as I see us. Sometimes I see us as that same 16 year old couple when we first started and forget that you are almost 21 and a half years old and approaching your final year of college. You aren’t the same boy that I met, but the man I’ve fallen in love with. I love you, during the good, bad and the ugly. I hope you never forget that.I love you,-Me
Mi vida,
There isn’t any greater feeling in the world than falling asleep next to you. With your strong arms around me, squeezing me tighter and feeling your breath against my neck. The other night you were tossing and turning because your feet were stuck in the blankets although I think you were still sleeping. I sat up and moved the blankets so you could get your feet out of the blanket and when I laid back down you pulled me in close and whispered “I love you” in my ear. Something so innocent and genuine, even in your sleep, was enough to make me the happiest girl in the world.
I love you- too,
Me
I don’t tell you enough, but I find you extremely attractive.
I love you,
Me
Mi amore,
All of this talk about us getting married soon has been making me unbelievably excited. I’ve found the one.
I love you,
Me
Babe,
A week ago from today we had our 3rd annual Spirit of Boston cruise. I love looking back to our Junior Prom pictures in high school and comparing them now that we’re Juniors in college. What a significant difference in the way we look and how comfortable we seem together. I thought you looked so attractive and grown up in your suit and tie. It hits me sometimes how old we are actually getting. Not that I am scared at all, because frankly I can’t wait, but to me, it doesn’t feel like 4 years together. It’s gone by so fast.
I love you,
Me
Honey,
I am glad we just cuddled up on the bean bag and watched NCIS for hours. I hate being away from you, even for the weekend and knowing that I am going to be gone for 2 months in a week and a half sucks. Every moment is valuable <3
I love you,
Me
Honey,
Too many feel like they need to be in competition with us.
Or offer advice that hasn’t been asked for.
But, we’ve been together the longest out of anyone I know,
and without a little compromise, devotion
and of course a whole lot of love.
We wouldn’t be where we are today.
Getting our Bachelor’s degrees,
at a top ranked school on the east coast.
You are the reason I succeed, and you challenge me.
I owe all of my success and happiness to you.
I love you,
-Me
I am blessed:
I’m going to rant for a little while, but today has been the perfect day for me. I am in New England on a pier, looking across the Charles River at the beautiful New England foliage, full of every autumn color you can imagine. It is quiet, and there is the smell of potential rain in the air. The water is still and I can see the fish swimming around just past the dock. Arthur is standing a few hundred feet away talking to some of the older guys that have their boats at the yacht club and he once in a while smiles at me and waves when the guys aren’t looking. We keep laughing and smiling at one another, not for any apparent reason, just because it’s like our secret. These past few weeks have been stressful and quite aggravating for us. We spend the entire summer alone, used to sleeping and going about our daily life- alone, and then we get thrown to living together and there is a brief adjustment period. I love how lovey he has been lately. Telling me every possible moment how much he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me and kissing me whenever we’re near each other.
Yesterday we went to Stonehurst which has been “our place” for the past 4 years. We go there nearly every weekend and enjoy the solitude and beautiful scenry. Yesterday we brought one of the comforters that I don’t use any more and went to the backyard of this beautiful mansion and laid it out to have a picnic on, and when it started to get chilly we folded it over like a sleeping bag and just cuddled. I haven’t laughed that hard in a really long time, and we spent about an hour laughing about how cold we were, or how we were getting bitten by bugs, or how he thought I was hiding some of the blanket for myself. And I love those moments. I fell in love all over again. We were there at sunset and as I lied there with my head on his chest, feeling his chest go up and down, and looking over to the trees and dogs running around I realized that this is the life I want. We’ve been together for almost 4 years, and have seen ups and downs and it seems thateveryone has their own opinion about us, whether it be that we should break up or that we are going to get married some day, I’ve learned to stop listening or caring what they have to say.
It seems that everyone gives their own opinion on how I should live my life without even asking me what I think, except Arthur. Arthur wants me to be a better person and challenges me beyond belief. He tests my patience alright, but he has helped me see the beauty in things. I have found the one who has stolen my heart and changed my life.

A Bedtime Story…
I was looking through my memory box of all of our things ( it has been upgraded 3 times now because we have so much stuff!). I have our prom corsage from junior prom, I have so many pictures, and movie stubs, but I fell on something that I think has always made us unique. Our train tickets.
259.72 miles, 5 hours (more like 6.5 with all the traffic) and through 5 different states. Working odd jobs just to be able to afford those expensive Amtrak train ticket. I was looking at them, $120 for a one way ticket? Lord, how did we ever afford it. But I know that every dollar spent, every hour worked, every kiss given has made my life evermore complete.
It really makes me appreciate how far we’ve come, and with a great hint of what life is to hold for us in only just a few years. We went from 259.72 miles, to know only a few feet, and a few years, we’ll be upgraded to sleeping next to each other every night. Not having to sneak around, or hide it.
The prom picture above, is still one of my favorite pictures of us. It was the first spark of love for me. The first time that I really knew you were something special. Knew that we are something special.
Although the writing on the tickets are fading, their meaning and our love is stronger than ever.
I love you,
-Me
poem for you :)
We slow danced tonight,
under the silence of the stars,
and the streetlight.
He held my hands,
brought me in close,
and just swayed back and forth.
Heart to heart,
madly in love,
with no idea what we are doing.
We just know that for this moment,
time stopped,
and we were happy.
Mi vida,
What a wonderful day today was,
to wake up in your arms,
snooze the alarm and cuddle in close.
I love you,
-Me
Babe,
I love weekends like this where we can’t stop laughing. Our cheeks ache, our stomachs hurt and our laughs can’t be contained. From the moment we entered the house we were having a great time, like there wasn’t a care in the world. I had a great time in Boston with you last night, walking around holding hands and watching your favorite comedian together. I want to do things like that more often. I want to make memories this year, and never forget to laugh. I want to stop worrying about tomorrow and enjoy today with you.
Thank you for a remarkable weekend my love.
I love you,
-Me
Sweetheart,
Can I tell you something that without a doubt makes me smile? I love when we talk about our memories. Yes, as dumb and simple as that sounds, I love when we talk about our past. The fact that we have a past. Things that we can talk about we wore in high school, like that chin strap you thought was so cool, or how I loved my dark hair (what was I thinking), or when we first learned how to drive, or how I would sneak you into class to watch President Obama’s inauguration speech. Remember before you had texting the only way we would talk in class was if I got facebook messages sent to my phone and you had to sit on the computer to talk. Remember how your mother would come in late at night and yell at us for falling asleep on the phone together, but we didn’t want to get off, because there is something comforting about knowing that you’re sleeping (even if it was just listening to each other snore on the phone) next to me.
This weekend was Orientation Graduation and it’s hard for me to think that just 2 years ago we were 18 year old kids, with no life experience, just a love and a passion. I look back at those pictures and I still don’t see the same man that I know today. You’re going to be 21 in a few months, and I have no doubt will see a different man in just a few months than I do now. I love that we are growing up together. I really do. I love seeing you grow up and being apart of shaping the man you will be someday.

I love that we have memories like that, and I love that within the past 4 years, that we have traditions. Like you getting the napkins or our New Years Tradition, or even just the simple crosses before bed. I love all of that.
But most of all,
I love you,
-Me
Honey,
With summer coming to a close, and our days finally consisting of each other, I can tell you what I’ve learned this summer. I’ve learned first of all that nothing comes easy. Nothing in this world, worth holding onto is something that goes without a fight. It sounds so cliche, but it’s so true. I’ve learned that I am most content in life, when I know that you are near. It doesn’t even need to be in the same room, or same building, just just to know that you were there with me on our ship made me so much more happy. To know that if something went wrong, or if we had good news to share, it wouldn’t be dependent on my spotty AT&T service, or a time frame to talk. Finally, I guess I learned that no matter how much I think I couldn’t love you anymore, I surprise myself.
I am so lucky that after a year and a half of dating we came to the same college , and we are finding ourselves, now 2 years later planning for the future. Past graduation, past exams, past even where we’re going to get dinner. Ironically enough, I don’t want to grow up all at the same time. I want to stay in our little bubble at college, together. I love feeling like we exist all in our own world, and still get those butterflies when I pass you walking to class, or when I am in class and see you at the door of the room. I’m going to miss when everyone asks how I am doing and automatically asks about you too. I have to start all over someplace new, with people I don’t really know all that well. But I’m going to, because I want the next step. I want a job, and a place to call our own.
You’ve spoiled me with love, so unwavering that I don’t deserve you. You’ve spoiled me with a thousand kisses each day to remind me that you’re still the one. You’ve spoiled me with arms that seem to take all the bad away.
Hold on, because this year, it’s my turn to spoil you. :)
I love you,
-Me
A-
There’s a mystery behind the heart,
behind the very breath that we take.
How it came about,
how it can turn our entire world upside,
and make us feel like we’re special in a world full of 6 billion people.
I can’t justify why I did what I did this summer,
or why I became so reckless.
And yet, the only thing you wanted to know,
was at the end of the summer,
that my heart would still be yours.
And I’ve searched the mountains,
and the valleys for a love like ours,
to make sure it was unique,
and special.
It’s the end of the summer, and you still have my heart.
And I can tell you with confidence,
that there is no love like ours.
I love you,
-Me
