Ikaw

"I found a love for me" type of love. You are the one my heart longs for. Whenever I look into your eyes, I can't help but get lost and be overwhelmingly happy to be with someone like you. 

Time and time again I thought we wouldn't get a chance again. But, love works in mysterious ways I must say. There's always the saying that goes, "If its meant to be, love will find its way back." When I looked for love in all the wrong places, my heart knew that a love like ours could never be replaced. I think that's what special about our love. Our love was something that was unexpected, and the greatest love stories are the ones that you never thought could happen. 

You became the missing piece to my puzzled heart. No words are enough to truly express how thankful I am that God gave me someone like you. To be the one to lift me up, to open my heart, and give me a love unlike no other. With you, love became real, simple, and natural. 

As you always tell me, "It's you." I always question you when you say that to me. But, I can't help but say the same. No matter the distance, there's just something about you. I fall more and more in love with you each and everyday. I love us. I love being able to talk to you about everything and anything. Although we don't see each other all the time, I always look forward to our Facetime calls. Because even when we can't be together physically, the Facetime calls makes up for lost time. 

With you, everything feels so right. 

Every moment spent with you, I fall in love over and over again. You shower me with a love unlike no other.  A love that is pure and surreal. A love that is not self-seeking. But, a love that is true above all else. You have seen me through my good and bad days, and yet you still love me the same. You love me for who I truly am, inside and out. 

You never fail to remind me how beautiful I am, each and everyday. A few weeks ago you saw me without makeup, and I remember being so shy around you. But then, you told me this, "You're still beautiful since the first day I met you." I remember smiling and laughing but I knew you meant it. Without a doubt, you never fail at making me smile and laugh. 

You always know how to make feel happy and safe. Whenever I'm with you, I feel like the happiest woman in the world. Because I'm loved by someone who is so smart, loving, selfless, supportive, humble, corny (definitely more corny than me), and above all else the most caring individual I know. 

Whenever I'm down, you always know how to make smile again. Whether it's your corny jokes or compliments you always manage to get a smile out of me. 

You are truly amazing, my love. I thank God each and everyday for allowing you to come into my life. Because you have given me a different type of love. You made me realize why certain things had to fall apart, for better things to come together. Thank you so much for being so loving and so sweet. For learning tagalog phrases on your own, just to say them to me. For making me oh so happy and loved. 

I will always be here every step of the way, supporting and loving you 100 percent! I have so much faith in you and your success. No matter where life takes us, I pray for the best. For more and more blessings to come. (Because you're one of my favorite blessings thus far.) 

Mahal na mahal kita, mahal ko.
