Dear Mikayla,
I remember the night we went on our first date like it was yesterday. Riding to the restaurant together, feeling super anxious and nervous. I knew that I had one chance to prove to you that I was worth giving a shot to because you were supposed to only give me one date (real funny how things worked out 😏). Ten minutes went by and I knew that I had found someone so special. We went on to share one of the funnest nights I’ve ever shared with someone. Fast forward to now and I’m so sad because I’m going from seeing you every single day to not seeing you for a long while.
I cannot thank you enough for coming into my life at the time you did. There are so many amazing qualities about you that I could rattle off, but the one thing that will always remind me of how lucky I am to have you in my corner is your everlasting love and support for me and how you continuously show up for me every single day. You have shown me what it really feels like to have a partner who loves unconditionally. You have shown me a love that I never thought was real and a love that I didn’t think I deserved.
Long distance is something that I’m not familiar with and, quite frankly, I hate it. I hate that I don’t get to see you for a long time, that I don’t get to come be with you after those long days of work, that I can’t hold you in my arms through the hours of the night. I absolutely hate this. However, I know that this will only bring us closer, will only make us stronger and will, one day, bring us that much closer to the life we want to achieve together. For us, I would do it a million times over if it meant that I got to be with you.
I love you so much, Mikayla. Thank you for changing my life in the best way.🩵
