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.

Grow Old With Me

Disclaimer: the words to this Charles Kelley song may not be entirely accurate as this is a transcription. Happy 100 Potpot

The photographs are scattered on the floor
so I can see your smile when I’m not at home
I call you up every single day
just to hear you breathe
you can hear me say

That if you’ll hold me, hold me so close
I’ll never leave you or let you go

So grow old with me
and tell me that you’re gonna love me forever
Grow old with me
I’ll sing you to sleep tonight

You find my good side when nobody can
always there for me, still the best of friends
I don’t deserve all the love you gave
but now I’m strong enough to see us through the days

And if you’ll hold me, hold me so close
I’ll never leave you or let you go

So grow old with me
and tell me that you’re gonna love me forever
Grow old with me
I’ll sing you to sleep tonight

And I’ve been waiting all of my life
I’m down on one knee tonight

Asking you to grow old with me
and tell me that you’re gonna love me forever
Grow old with me
I’ll sing you to sleep tonight
And I will sing you to sleep tonight
