Carl,

You came into my life at the most unexpected time, when I never thought that love do exist. You made me believe that love is worth giving a try. That all the hardships and failures of past relationships will be redeemed by giving my heart another chance for happinesss.

Though I may not be worthy of your love, still, you allowed yourself to be with me. You said you never been into this kind of relationship before and I am honored that you decided to try it with me. I don't wanna get hurt, but you told me that to love unconditionally is the most rewarding thing a person can ever feel. You taught me and still teaching me what real love is as we spend more time with each other as days go by. Love that is not based on what you can get but instead on what you can give.

Inside my head, there's still worry and uncertainty looming just ahead the horizon. Maybe because I am still afraid that same thing will happen to me like my previous tries with having relationships; lust, love or otherwise. I told you I am not perfect and I can be such a pain in the neck and you're idea of a good partner may never fit into the picture I have about myself. This is me! And I thank you from the deepest part of my heart and soul for allowing me to be me and loving me despite. For that, I cannnot thank you enough.

To you I pledge my not my undying love but myself. I give you the real me; inside and out, then, now and tomorrow, my best and my worst. I cannot assure you of a perfect relationship, a perfect partner and perfect times when you're with me but I want you to know that I had never felt and anyone for that matter, had made me as happy and complete and whole my entire life. Your words are the cure to my aching heart. Your presence is almost cathartic when I am thinking of giving up. Mere thoughts of me and you together makes me wanna go on on this journey called life.

These words may mean something now, but tomorrow may or may not be the same as today. Right now, all I want to say is:

I LOVE YOU!
