Thank You Note

I wrote this for my current boyfriend, and with his permission, I have decided to post it here. I'm really in love with this piece of writing, as I am with this boy. Enjoy.

I want to write a thank you note:

Thank you for breaking my heart. Thank you for dating me for three years, with zero intention of making any sort of commitment to me, and not telling me about it. Thank you for spending as little time as you could muster with me. Thank you for seconding me to Magic: The Gathering.  Thank you for telling me my feelings were stupid. Thank you for putting little to no effort into my birthdays, Christmas, Valentines Day, and especially New Years. Thank you for making someone more important than me, even when I was your girlfriend. Thank you for making me hold onto my virginity. Thank you for rarely telling me I was beautiful. Thank you for never saying I love you.

I want to write another thank you note:

Thank you for listening. Thank you for texting me all day. Thank you for Facetime conversations almost every night. Thank you for watching my favorite movie and eating my favorite pizza. Thank you for making me feel whole again. Thank you for being my boyfriend. Thank you for using pet names. Thank you for kissing me in public. Thank you for my first hickey. Thank you for the flowers. Thank you for smelling so nice. Thank you for talking to my daddy. Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for making me feel like marriage is possible. Thank you for making me a sap. Thank you for telling me your phone pass code. Thank you for almost crying at the airport. Thank you for being on my mind constantly. Thank you for being husband material. Thank you for wanting to be with me regardless of my size. Thank you for loving my hair. Thank you for having amazing arms. Thank you for being persistent, even when I had doubts. Thank you for buying me comic books. Thank you for being gross with me.  Thank you for letting me feel the burning my insides kind of love for you. Thank you telling me I’m beautiful. Thank you for being understanding. Thank you for waiting. Thank you for knowing exactly what I’m thinking or what I’m going to say. Thank you for the Good Morning Beautiful text messages on the daily. Thank you for being ok with me being a starving artist. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for saying I love you. Thank you for saying it first.

When it comes down to it, I couldn’t have the last thank you note, without the first one.
