Love

I never knew love till now. I always dreamed of the day I'd find that one person that I would spend the rest of my life with. Never did I imagine actually finding it. When I did the thought scared me. I was terrified and tried running from Rod so many times. I had never been in love. I thought I have so many times, but not until now do I know what love means. Its loving someone unconditionally no matter what. Its missing them when you're apart and cherishing the time together. Its what Rod and I have. No one has ever looked at me the way he has. No one has ever treated me the way he has. It hasn't been an easy 9 months, but it has been well worth it. The other day was kind of our turning point. I knew he loved me; he had never said it. When I left I saw how much he hurt. He was hurting as much as I was hurting. I didn't want to leave but I thought I had to. That night chased my fears away. Because he is right. In 10 years I see him. I want to have his kids and spend the rest of my life with him. No one else. If that means growing up then I am going to. I don't want to lose him. He is my one true love and I won't live without him. So Roderick Thomas Diggs, I love you and only you.
