One Year

Today is Chris and my one year anniversary.  This is a huge step for me.  I already knew that this was my longest relationship to date, but now we have reached a milestone.  A whole year.  In some ways this scares me - it shows commitment to something I thought I never wanted.  But in other ways it gives me hope - that's almost 335 days spent together (there was about a month where we were apart at the beginning of our relationship) and we're still not tired of each other.  On the contrary.  Every day he gives me something to look forward to, whether it is a look or a smile, a word or a hug.  He makes me feel special and I hope I inspire the same in him as to me he is the most special man in the world (that isn't family).  Actually he is my family.  I have a large family but they are all still in my hometown.  Chris is here and I expect us to always be together - he is the family I've chosen.  He is my best friend, my lover, my confidante, my boyfriend, my carer and so much more. 

I will probably always be scared of this relationship but I don't believe I'll ever regret it.  I plan on staying in it for a long time yet and appreciate what I have found in Chris every single day.
