a year later and you still make my heart fly

it's one of the most precious feelings as far as im concerned. the feeling that would engrave the moment in your mind. the rush of emotions, the heat in your cheeks, the undeniable smile on your face even though you try to hide it, the beat against your chest.

my boyfriend likes to sing. he likes to sing randomly, and sometimes he sings for me. sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's heartwarming, sometimes it's sexy, and sometimes it's just perfect.

the other day was just like any other day. we spent the day together just lazying around. but it was that night that made the day worth noting for me.

we were waiting for a bus to ride home when his phone played a song that apparently caught his attention since he started singing it--which in turn caught my attention.

what is the reason, when you really could have any man you want,
I don't see, what I have to offer.

he stopped singing, turned to me and asked, "why indeed did you choose me, when you can have any man you want?" i just smiled, said. "why not you?" why indeed? but i did get the man i wanted. i wanted him. despite his beliefs that he didnt have much to offer me, i would just like to say that he gave me so much that i thought possible.

what did he have to offer? if this is a question of being worthy, i dont see who else could be anymore worthy than him. i honestly dont have the habit of asking material things that often. he makes me smile, he puts up with me during the good and bad times, he understands me, accepts me, loves me for who i am and if those arent enough to make one worthy of me, i dont know what would.

he makes me happy. and that's more than anyone can ask for at any time of their lives.

that night he said something about butterflies, about the irony of how no matter how beautiful they are, they cant see it themselves. it's the same, see? he probably believes that he's not that special because he cant see himself the way i do, the same way i cant see myself the way he sees me. maybe that's why we have each other. to show one another what we cant see ourselves, to make each other realize who we are, and who we can be. to hold each other up when we cant hold ourselves up alone.

when a day is said and done,
and in the middle of the night you're fast asleep, my love

I'm the luckiest man alive.

all i can say is that, im just as lucky to have you and call you mine.
