History: His Story

What is romantic love?

What is a romantic relationship?

I don't really know how to define them, and I have very little experience. The environment I grew up in wasn't really built for it, nor did I have close enough relationship with my brother for him to show me what it was. I grew up with my Dad being dead, my mom being religious, my brother-in-law cheating, my sister being a martyr, my brother in his own little world, and me, unable to even speak to my grade school crush, moving to an all-boy school in high school, and having a 7-month relationship during my 5 years in college.

I don't know shit about this.

I try though. As best I know. As best I can. And sometimes I fail, sometimes I forget, sometimes I worry, sometimes I relax. But in the end, I feel as though I know what it means with you.

I'm not trying to be fancy. In the two years we've been together, I could define love with that. So I hope you're still happy, and I can say that I am. We may get boring at times, but that's fine with me. I can be lazy for a whole weekend and still enjoy it, so I hope you can too.

I've had insecurities lately, and I'm thankful you've put up with them. These are baby steps for me and I hope you will stay patient.

The post doesn't sound it, but I'd like to greet you a Happy Anniversary. I hope you liked my gifts, I know I enjoyed preparing them for you.
