The Love of My Life, My Sweetheart, My Matt...

by Jessica Sokel

Matthew Owen Rogers, I love you. It's nothing you don't already know, but I do. The fact that you love me back is one of the most significant beacons of hope in my life. I hope and believe that we will always have each other, forever and always.

It felt so natural to fall in love with you, and you were there with open arms to catch me.

You make me feel so alive. With you I feel beautiful, ecstatically happy, loved, worshiped, wanted, important, self-confident, protected, stress-free, and so very much more... You give me butterflies, you make me laugh, you support me, you love me, you listen to me, you care about me deeper than I ever thought possible... Words could not begin to capture how much you mean to me, or how you make me feel. You've become my everything. I've allowed myself to bare my soul to you, and you liked what you saw, being gentle and supportive. We understand what it takes to be the perfect couple, and though everyone doubts us because we're teenagers, we'll make it through thick and thin babe. You save me from myself, you are the gentleman I've dreamed of since I was a little girl. You are the sweetest, kindest, most selfless, loving, respectful, compassionate, funny, adorable, handsome, all over amazing guy to have ever grace the planet. You chose to be mine, and I'm eternally grateful for that...
Thank you so many times over, my love, my soul mate, the one... I love you.
