Loving you isn’t easy.

Loving you isn’t easy.

You constantly challenge me, make me question my own preconceptions, my hang-ups: and I want to break down the boundaries of my comfort zone and confront those issues.

You are so much wiser, smarter and more more talented than me: and that inspires me to become so much better myself.

You show me a mirror that reveals my own shortcomings and failings: and I see all the things that I dislike about myself, and want to change and improve.

You had faith that I could still be a better person, even though I’d given up hope on myself; and gave me the courage to challenge the demons of my past.

You helped me recognise the hole inside myself, the belief that I could never love or be loved; and you helped me restore the faith that I had lost.

I know it’s foolish of me, but sometimes you frighten me, you set such high standards for yourself, and I know that I could never live up to those same standards, no matter how hard I tried. I can only set the bar for myself, forgive myself when I fail, and try again and again.

I’m both scared and in awe of your passion for the things that you believe in, that make your eyes dance and your colours swirl about you: and I want to break my restraint and show my own passions.

I feel so happy when we’re together, and it hurts when we’re apart. There’s so much that I want to share with you.

Loving you isn’t easy; but you make me complete, and that is why I love you.
