You’re so beautiful.

You make me happy.

Who knew these words could actually come from a real person? Those actors in stupid romantic comedies never prepared me for this. They moved me. When his eyes are staring directly into yours and you know he means it, how do you keep yourself from believing it’s true? He loves you. And I never thought it would happen, but I think that that moment changed my life. Someone knows everything about me, and he loves me unconditionally for everything that I am. So maybe my flaws don’t matter after all. Maybe I don’t need to be exceptionally funny or flirty to be with people. Maybe it’s okay to be myself. His love made me love me for me. And I can never thank him enough for that. Never. And for as long as I live, I will be his friend against all odds.
