Courage and time.

I know that in life things are tough. Some are easy, some are difficult, and some are in between as to we barely pay attention to. But as life begins to progress, we as people begin to find our place in this crazy cycle we call life. We find out who was meant to stay and we find out who was meant to just stop for a visit and move on with their life. Every person has a story and every story has a beginning, middle, and end. Not everyone is fortunate to have a person to fill almost every part in those slots. Few find their soulmates at such a young age. Few find their soulmate at an older age. Every heart ranges, and every beat is different. When you find the heart that is like yours in many ways, dig deeper. When you find that the beat is so close to yours, they could almost be identical, take hold and never let go.  

I've learned that giving up isn't the hardest part but the easy part. Anyone who choses to give up, they don't win or gain anything. The one who pursues on whether it's tough, or easy, is the winner. As life moves forward, throwing the many different opportunities our way, we are forced to chose one or the other. Sometimes one out of many. Whether the decision is friendship or relationship or job or school. Life hands us many different decisions and we're forced as people to decide for ourselves. Although one decision may be tougher than another, it's never going to be something you or I cannot handle. The life we live may be rough at times, but never something we could not handle. 

I've never been the type to give up. I keep everything, I hold on to everything, and I keep a firm grip on those I love. I hold fast to memories and I keep my eyes set on the path in front of me. Well at least I used to. But then you happened. You showed me this world that had a brighter future, happier memories, and a greater present. I've never began to consider a life without you because for me, there isn't a life without you. Whenever I get scared of losing someone, my guard pops up and I begin shutting all doors. But this time, I don't want to do that. I want to knock down all walls and open all doors. I want your hands to reach inside of me and pull every emotion from my core. I want to be able to feel the grip you have on my heart and my all around being. I want to know that the grip you have is do tight, it would never fail. I believe in you, I believe in your future, not only alone, but also your future with me. I have always given my all to the ones I loved and that's what I'll continue to do until the day I'm asked not to anymore. You are the love of my life. The person I want to have and to hold from this day forward. In sickness and health. For richer for poorer. I promise to give my love my heart and my everything to you forever. You are the love of my life.
