I should've written this on December 1st as it had been officially a year since my boyfriend and I have been together.

On the other hand, interferences came about, and I've written this poem yesterday, so... Ugh.

n.n In any case, I'll be writing now.

What You Are To Me

---

My love, my lust, my acceptance.

No matter what, I will always love you...

For you're the one who has open my eyes to love you unconditionally,

For who you are.

-

My faith, my hope, my determination.

You never gave up on me and I shall do the same...

You always found your strength in me

And it shows how much you need and care for me.

And I should know...

That you never did lie on what you say.

-

My polar opposite, my other half, my missing piece.

We are very different, and, yet we are the very same.

Two halves to make a whole, two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, and to be cut out of the same mold.

And we are in-sync, as if we're a musical piece, one of us never overpowering the other counterpart,

And we create a song...

-

My strength, my reason, my valor.

I hold you dearly in my heart, even if you're not here with me now

And I won't give into my sorrow, my anger, or my fear.

You are the reason why I still hold onto important things,

And you are the reason that I've never lost to keep fighting on what I want to work.

-

My protector, my guardian, my shield.

Always watch over me, even in the nights as the sleep embraces me.

And I know you will protect me from everything, like you said, even when I still need to spread my wings.

Even if you have your life taken, you will do so to preserve my happiness...

-

My light, my guide, my eyes.

Help me look through the dark to the other side.

And when I get through a tight spot, I know you will help me see things through.

And you always were my guide, my firefly in the darkness down the road

That we call Life...

-

My truth, my reassurance, my resolve.

As long as you stay honest with me, I feel much safe.

And my doubt of you disappears like the rain in the sky,

As you've always assured me that we're going to be okay.

-

My longing, my warmth, my... Happiness...

Somehow, I always find you into my thoughts without my knowing...

And when I think of you, my heart goes warm.

Beyond of what words can even be said,

You make me so happy...

-

My friend, my older brother, my boyfriend, my fiance, my husband.

Even though it may be childish to others on how I call you the last two words in terms of endearment...

That is how I truly feel about you.

I love you, always and forever.

The promises I've sworn to you... Were never lies.

And I intend to keep them, even if

There are things that will threaten us along the way.

No matter how hard the road will be and how many things want to tear us apart...

I will always, always, remain by your side.

This, I promise you, my love.

Well, already, you should all know who I'm dedicating this to. And, before you ask questions, a) This is the fourth relationship I've gotten myself into, the past three paling in comparison to this one, b) I'm in a long distance relationship, c) This is the first time I've even gotten far into a relationship, period, of it being a year, I mean, and d) This is also the first time I've fallen in love compared to the times when I've mixed that up with infatuation or crush. Because of this was an infatuation, I wouldn't feel so many things I've never felt before, sometimes ending up crying.

Nonetheless... This is how I feel about him, compared to others. What I have with him is the real thing. And I intend never to break the promises I made with him because there's no turning back. I've went this far and I can't go back on that, you know?

Happy Anniversary, sweetheart. I love you very much. And yes, these are all of the things you are to me. Because you've very important to me. Don't forget that, okay?
