love letter

so the following was written by an anonymous six-grader-

"i want to:
find a guy who calls you beatiful instead of hot.
who calls you back when you hang up on him.
who stays awake to watch you sleep.
wait for the boy who kisses you in the forehead.
who wants to show you off to the world in your sweats.
who holds your hand in front of his hand.
who thinks you are just as pretty without makeup.
wait for the guy who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
wait for the one who turns to his friends and says:
'thats her'"

wow. when i was her age i just wanted someone-no matter how he came to me to fill some emptiness inside. i could not have expressed what it was i needed, let alone what i wanted. i hope this girl, whoever she is, stays strong in her beliefs. i hope she doesnt settle for anything less than what she has stated she deserves. i have spent more than half the time i have been alive looking for something good and always falling so sadly short until now. until her...

she is the reason i want more time. because i want to do everything with her. see everything i have seen before, but with new eyes because everything has changed. i believe in god-not because she is with me, but simply because she exists. because i didnt believe someone as purely wonderful as she is could see me, could love me. we have the same soul. she has restored all my faith that had been damaged, broken. i feel like now that we have each other we can do anything. because i have found my partner and all my fear has fallen away. if it wasnt for her, i would have never known what it feels like to be truly loved by another. she gives me everything. i feel like the plant that was dying-finally watered and put in the sun. because of her im beginning to really love and accept myself. im so grateful-because of her, i know i deserve this.
