I never thought that my story would be a love story.
I never thought I'd ACTUALLY fall in love.
I watched my parents from a young age, saw the struggle, the pain and the ache's, and felt in some part, that I (and my sister for that matter) made life so much more difficult.
I have suffered from depression for most of my life, and had an acute bout with it right after I had quit the Penn State football team, to focus on my studies and not end up just another jock.
I felt I had failed.
I felt my dream end, and with it to some extent, who I believed I was.
I fell in and out of love with various aspects of my own choices and my own reality.
I watched best friends marry, achieve financial success. I saw them all happy.
I felt alone.
You then came into my life.
You smile in honest.
You first came to me with what I could detect as a mutual sense of eagerness and caution. Something that made me both confident and scared.
You made me sense who I was again.
Your brightness in the world I find inescapable.
You are someone I feel I cannot and will not be without. I feel your presence even in your physical absence.
You make me want to be my best, despite whatever condition the world puts me in.
You give me my Faith in the world.
You give me Faith in the future.
You give me Faith in myself.
So I promise to Love You Forever.
