Today is mine and Chains' two year anniversary! Sure, not many people would say two years is a long time, but for me, it is. I've never been in a healthy relationship. I've had doubts and fears, like all of us do, but with Chains... With him life is so much better. I'm happier than I have ever been. I'm so loved, and cared for. I cherish everyday that I have with him. I'm never left guessing when it comes to his love and devotion. To wake up and fall asleep every night for the past two years, with his arms around me, has been paradise. I've never laughed, or smiled, or goofed around as much as I do now. My life is slowly changing, and for the first time in a long time, it's the right kind of change. My biggest wish in life is that I make you just as happy as you make me. Chains, my dearest love, thank you so much for everything you have done and will ever do for me, for us. I hope we live a long, healthy, happy life together.

You've taught me so many things
Love...
Patience...
Kindness...

But your biggest lesson has been to not be afraid
Afraid of the past
Afraid of the future
Afraid of rejection

You've taken my hand and led me from the depths of darkness
Your touch cool and ever reassuring as your fingers trace along my cheek
Your words soft and gentle, coaxing me out from loneliness
Your arms holding me tightly as I take that last step into the light, your light

I've loved you more than I have ever loved anyone before
I've trusted you more than anyone else, and in return
You have wiped away every tear that has fallen
Kissed away every frown that has touched my lips

My love, my life, my mate, my knight in shining armor,
Forever and always, I will cherish what you have given me, what you have given us.
For the most important lesson you have taught me in our short time together,
Is that for once, I can trust someone with my heart.
