111 Percent

Yes, it hasn’t been easy lately. But as you’ve said, we’ll take our suckiest days together over not being with each other.

I think we’ve become different people in the sense that we have another person to care for besides ourselves. And we are no longer islands. There’s no more Melandia or Normandy. Just Poypotopia.

I try to always be there for you because I don’t want to miss a single minute. Some say that a couple seeing each other everyday is bad for the relationship. I don’t buy that for one second because married people live under one roof. But it is true that a little alone time won’t hurt.

You’re too generous. I’m not as kind as you say I am. But I try to be a decent human being.

I don’t think you’re selfish. I know you’re giving this everything you’ve got and I am thankful for that. I think I’m the more selfish one because I’m overprotective and can be quite demanding. And since I acknowledge that I can be selfish, I try to make an effort to put your needs above mine. Even if it may hurt sometimes, because that’s the essence of giving.

You’re always good to me, even when I’m at my worst, and that’s more than I deserve. You sacrifice daily to keep our routine. You put up with my idionsyncrasies and make an effort to work on your issues. The tears you shed you swiftly replace with a reassuring smile, to say that it’s alright.

I promise that I won’t stop trying. I owe it to you and to myself.

A promise is a promise. Sealed with a pinkie swear. And a chuu.

It hasn't been easy lately. And it's not because we've become different people over the last three months. It may have been the adjustments, the different routines. Still, we try every day. We make it work. Because that's what being in a relationship means. While others are making a huge deal out of giving and taking. Here we are, just trying. And I think that as long as we don't stop making an effort, we'll be okay. We'll get past these little problems. We'd love each other more. That much I believe in.

So I say: To you, who owns this blog...You, who's always there for me when I'm at my most selfish. You, who takes on my cares and gives me and my family all the love that is in your heart. You, who sacrifices daily to make me happy. You, who takes me to the whole gamut of my emotions. You, who never gives a care about what others think. You, who knows me better than I know myself. You, who stops at nothing to make me smile. You, who will hold my hand when we're both old and gray. You, the keeper of my heart...

Promise me that you won't stop trying.
