I asked the love of my life to be my wife. And she said yes. I found you in the most unexpected place. Not in a moment I was searching for. Not in a way I could have planned. Just somewhere along the path. Our lives crossed. And everything quietly changed. You didn’t arrive loudly. You didn’t try to be anything other than who you are. But you became everything to me. Before you I don’t think I truly understood what happiness was. I knew moments. I knew flashes. But not this. Not the kind that fades. Not the kind that comes and goes. The kind that stays. The kind that feels steady and real. The kind that makes your heart feel like it has finally come home. You gave me that. You didn’t just make me happier. You changed me. You made me softer in the ways I needed. Stronger where I was weak. More open. More present. More alive. I am not the man I am today without you. And I don’t say that lightly. Somewhere along the way. You became my peace. My balance. My reason. The center of my life. You became the part of me I didn’t know was missing. Every conversation. Every laugh. Every quiet moment. All the things that slowly became something more. All leading to the moment I realized. I never wanted a life without you in it. @calistawu, You are the love of my life. You are my heart. My soul. My safest place in this world. You are the person who showed me a kind of happiness. I didn’t know existed. And somehow out of everyone in this world. You chose me. That’s something I will never stop being grateful for. If I could live this life a thousand times over. Walk every path. Make every choice again. I would still hope every single time. That somehow it leads me back to you. And in all of this. I got to ask you to be my forever. I love you Cali. I will choose you. Every time. Always. Forever.
