Why Do I Love Him and Know That I Am Ready

I guess you know when you want to spend the rest of your life with someone then it must be
love
When you’re willing to take the bad with the good
When you know this person makes you feel like life is worth living, even just to spend it
with them
When you know it’s your best friend
Your confident
Your lover
Your advisor
Your strength
Your rock
Your sounding board for all your ideas
Your cheer leader at times
When you know it’s someone who makes you completely happy as much as they make you
intensely mad
Someone who ask how your day went, it matters to them, or what you ate for lunch, it also
matters to them or what was the highest point or low point of your day and it matters to them
Someone who you can learn from and grow with
Someone who you always want to help grow
So it’s not like this gushy feeling inside that tells you its love, for me it’s all those
things that I mentioned and sometimes when I do get the gushy feeling, I know it’s an
additional perk but it doesn’t define our relationship
I sometimes ask what love is. 
 How do you know? But I guess its whatever it means to you
For some people love can mean someone showering them with gifts or love can mean someone
who cares enough for them enough to beat them or someone who showers them with money
Love can mean whatever it means to each person but those things are what loves mean to me
Someone that makes life worth living
And I don’t think its fairy tales and kisses and hugs and peaches and cream. 
Its hard work, its frustrating learning how to accept each other’s differences etc, and to
tolerate of each other’s culture (if coming from different places) and expectations in a
relationship etc, but surely its worth it in the end…
I love him and ready to get marry to him… I DO!!
