Just wanted to get something off my chest… It is mushy gushy so be prepared to listen or don’t read…
I don’t think I give Joey enough credit for being as great of a man as he is… Yes, we don’t have the “perfect” relationship, but we do. It’s perfect to me. I can’t imagine being in any other relationship whether it be with some millionaire, some king of England, or even Channing Tatum. I just want my Joey.
Joey is my anchor I’ve been searching for and he makes me the happiest girl I’ve ever been. I've realized that he and I have been through a lot along our journey. Before we became serious, we withstood the uncertainty of our relationship. There were times when we wouldn’t talk because of my exes. I was the one who always had a controlling boyfriend, and sure enough, Joey waited for me. Not once can I remember him not being there for me. He was always just a phone call away, even at 3 in the morning.
We have experienced the "trying to be just 'friends'“ when we both wanted more. In fact last night, while laying there thinking about our relationship I remember thinking to myself, how quirky it is to think of my crush on him. I’ve always been googly over him. And I think both of my exes can stand to this: he has been, is, and always will be my weakness.
We became serious and experienced the hardships of a long distance relationship. I’d lay in my bed in Tennessee and long to just be held by him whether it be here or there. We’ve fell asleep on the phone with one another many nights. I still to this day remember every time we hung out before I moved down. I remember the night he told me he was moving down and I’m sure he remembers the melt down I had. I remember us standing in the moon light in some little cove like area sitting on the tailgate of Aaron’s step dad’s truck. Joey had his arms around me, if I’m not mistaking, he was holding my back pocket with one hand and my face/cheek area with the other. There is where we shared one of our most memorable kisses. Before it was interrupted by the frog. :P
I knew what I had to do. I had to make the move down here. It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. But somehow, someway, I put every ounce of faith I could work up in Joey and made the move. All 500 miles of it.
Still to this day, we are experiencing troubles and trials… Every couple does. Those are what define a relationship. It hasn’t been easy by any means, but our relationship has not faulted from it. I’m so happy to say that through all the hard we have been through, I have found the easy. That’s loving him. He is the easiest person to love. He respects me, my opinions, and my feelings. Even after we have been together this long, he still tells me I’m beautiful and I believe he means it.
Life, as it is now, couldn’t be better. So, to my Joey: Thank you for being so easy to love. Thank you for being so easy to trust all the way from TN. Thank you for the days you take care of me, thank you for making being down here easy. Thank you for being my everything! I appreciate all that you do for me. I love you more than anything :)
Just wanted to get that out there. <3
