It's hard to put into words how truly happy one single person can make you feel. Through arguments and struggles they still always manage to make you smile. The one person who can make you laugh until your ribs feel like they're about to snap. When they tell you about their boring day at work for the seventeenth time and you still give the same responses 'no that's not right... ooo I wouldn't be happy about that' ... or in this case how the solar system works. It's easy being in love with your best friend.

This soppy stuff never usually stems from our relationship... we're more of an annoy each other and make stupid silly remarks kind of couple. But once a year I think it's okay to lay down the gauntlet and say how you really feel. When the same person who gave you butterflies on the third date five years ago can still give you butterflies on the 450th date its a great feeling. Knowing you have that one person who always has your back no matter what, the one who answers the phone at 3 in the morning to come and pick you up when your drunk, when they cuddle you when your crying and make you feel safe and as though everything is going to be alright, helping you to revise, reading through essay upon essay about the dullest subjects and even watching youtube videos with you. Through serious highs and lows it's easy to see how strong we have become. I can honestly say I feel blessed to have been in a five year relationship with such an incredible, caring and gorgeous person.
