Kevin and I met sophomore year of high school. We met through mutual friends, and the first time he hugged me (a good luck hug before my math final), I knew there was something about him. The way he hugged me felt completely different. For the first time in my life, I felt completely safe. So he was the obvious choice to ask to winter ball that year. That started the most amazing relationship of my life. We were together for almost five months when, for reasons I can't really explain, we broke up. We were apart for six months. Those six months were the hardest of my life. I realized I'd made a mistake but I didn't think there was any way I could fix it, when, this January, we got back together, on what would have been our one year anniversary. He forgave me for more than I deserved. We are in a long distance relationship now, and every day, I find myself falling even more in love with him. When we're together, I feel like there's nothing in the world that can hurt me. He has a way of making every fear I've ever had disappear. Before I met him, I never thought a long distance relationship could work, as I'd seen many crumble around my friends and family. With Kevin, I just...I know that we're going to make it. I love him more than life itself, and am looking forward to spending the rest of forever with him. |
