All this time I didn’t know...

You once told me that “we are one”

I didn’t believe you at all.

It has always been “work for everything and it’ll be yours.”

Don’t except gifts because they aren’t free.

Don’t expect to get things to get handed to you so easily. Always expect an ulterior motive behind a gift.

Learned behavior from my parents that’s what I’ll call it.

In and out of divorce I watch these people love and fall out of it.

Stability and structure is what I lacked growing up.

But now I have you I’ve realized that I have something so special.

Before I didn’t understand you every time you told me we are one.

Every time you told me “we are one” I wanted to run, I was afraid of what my parent’s had experienced once.

Until now I get it. You have shown me something I’ve never had or witnessed.

We are one.

I believe you now.

We are better together than apart.

We both bring out better versions of ourselves.

How everything I have is yours and how everything you have is mine. Loving you has shown me love in a different way. Loving you has shown me that my future doesn’t have to be similar to my parents. Loving you has shown me that we can do this until the day we die. But also hope that in another life we can do it again because...

We are one and I don’t ever want it any other way.
