A Love Letter to Charlotte,

The Queen of my heart. The jewel of my eye. It girl. The – well I don’t have anymore cute sentiments to call you. I have called you home for the last two years. To say that you have changed my life in ways I never could’ve imagined, would be an understatement.

We have shared the wildest highs and the most devastating lows. You have been a home for me that I didn’t know could exist. I have experienced more living in this time with you than I have in memory. I have shown you parts of my heart and soul that existed only to the stars. To say that I loved you, would simply not do it justice.

It wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows. There was a period where you let me down, where I lost my faith and wondered how on earth I could move forward. And then I realized that you weren’t there to save me, that your rough edges had more to teach me than my tender and fragile heart was willing to see. You were many things – shiny and new, unexplored alleyways, highways driven late at night with your crown illuminated by the moon, dashed hopes, and broken dreams. But you were also the sunrise that beckoned me out of bed and into the light of a new opportunity. You were the light and the dark. One cannot exist without the other.

You were many things, if none other than a stepping stone towards the life my heart is destined for. I don’t know what’s in our future, if I will continue driving these roads in the hopes you will still shine for me, or if I will follow the sunset in the wild unknown.

What I do know – what has always been and will forever remain true, is that I love you. “It’s just.not in my DNA to love you only halfway.”

You are the Queen of my heart, and I will always hold your crown.
