Where we Are

I know we're not quite where we used to be, but we're slowly getting there. And we're getting there together, through the stress, through the challenges, through the long days. We're not quite who we used to be but we're learning about life together and I'm not quite sure who I'd be with out you. I've grown into I am with you by my side and I'm not sure who I'd turn into if you were gone now.

I know we're not quite back to the love we used to have, but we're getting there. We're getting to a stronger, deeper, more mature love, a love that has been through life, through challenges, through real heartache and loss. We'll probably be the last of our friends to get married, though we've been together the longest, and that's okay with me because we've been through the ups and downs together, learning about life together and we've been flattened and thrown around and we're still standing, together.

I know we're still finding our way back to where we used to be, and that the road won't come easily or take overnight, I know we're finding who we are with each other beside us, and that life won't get easier or less complicated, it will get worse and harder and test us even more. But I do know that even though it seems we've been through hell and back this year, that I wouldn't want to make it through with anyone else. You know me better, more deeply and more intimately than everyone I've ever met.

And I know that while we're not quite where we used to be, we're getting there. And while we may not be to Paris yet, we're getting close.
