"Come Outside"




He worked late last night which meant i wouldn't be able to see him. I was already in bed by the time he called me. We chatted for a bit and he asked to call me back so he can change out of his work clothes and get ready for bed. He calls me back and shortly after, again, he says "Can i call you right back?"....at this point, I was annoyed cause i wanted to sleep and he kept "calling me back". Annoyed I said, "how about we just say goodnight, you seem busy and it's late" to which he answered, "no no, i'm sorry i promise it'll be 5 minutes".....


After a few minutes, my cell phone rings and he says, "Hey,...Come outside.."

I open the door to see him walking up with an arrangement of gorgeous flowers and a piece of paper in his hand. I immediately got humbled by his kind act. 

The flowers just so happen to be two of my most favorite, "Star gazers" and Red Roses. Also my favorite colors. The piece of paper was titled "The List"...and it was a poem he had been working on writing for me. Reading the poem, I couldn't help but smile big and attempted to hold back my tears. 

Seriously, I will be framing this poem and reading it every day.

I am so grateful for this man and every thing that he does for me.


Fact: I have insecurities, I get mad at my boyfriend for really meaningless and dumb things, I get jealous of other gorgeous girls even the ones he's never met in his life, I get in bad moods and he pays for it, I pout,....

YET,....he is so understanding, patient, loving and puts up with my girl moments. And after 9 months of dating, he still makes me weak at the knees and tells me I am his world.

I love him.
