What kind of cheesy rom com type boyfriend does this? They’re only playing where I am at uni, and where he is at home so he thinks it’s meant for us. My idiot’s the best idiot. ☺️

Here’s to the first of one of the best years of my life

So, it’s been a year (and a day) that @sirpatrickstar​ and I have been together. And as a year has gone by there is a lot to say so this won’t be brief. Just wow he makes me so happy, since we started texting, there hasn't been a day when we haven’t spoken, and we still find out new things about each other and have something to say. Honestly I don’t know how long this will last, no one does, but I really think this could last a lifetime. It may have been an awkward meeting at first, for me at least, he seemed comfortable as soon as we said hi, but he was so assuring and kept hugging me and made me tea, and we watched bake off (he’s really into it now it’s brilliant) and it was such a comfortable sleep, it felt so natural from the start, fitting together like pieces of a puzzle. I think I stole the duvet that night - though that is now a frequent occurrence - and couldn't get it over him but he didn't particularly mind and just said I looked cute and when he kissed me when I was asleep I apparently kissed back, so this was definitely the start of something special.

So he came to London for the first time to meet someone he’d chatted with over the interweb hoping to be friends at least, with anything more being a bonus, absolute madness, just baffling. The day after that we went to the natural history museum - such a normal date I know - and we had a really lovely time despite waiting in a queue in the rain (perfect time for car spotting), we’d known each other less than a day and we were holding hands as if we had done for months. I mean there were days where I had been less clumsy, the basil in my panini decided not to fit in my mouth properly and I nearly hit a pram getting up from my chair so my face went a lovely shade of pink... On the way back from the station we went to get pizza and Ben and Jerry’s and watched doctor who, what a cosy evening that was ^.^ The rest of the weekend we were basically room-bound watching films and snuggling up. Monday wasn't the most fun of days, I was teary the rest of the day, and didn't take off the hoodie he let me borrow until the next day. 

The 6 weeks gap before seeing him again was emotional to say the least, I had days where I was fine and I was happy to be with him and studying kept my mind busy, but there were other days I just wanted to go to the station and nothing could change my mind. If it wasn't for skyping I don’t know how I’d have coped. After a couple of weeks he started making a heart with his hands at the end of every call, it was a way of saying ‘I love you’ without actually saying it in case it was too soon and without pressure to say it back if I wasn't ready to. A little while after that I started doing it back and the first time I did I saw the cutest smile in the world with a tinge of pink on his cheeks, and we haven’t stopped doing that at the end of every single Skype call. 

But those 6 weeks became worth it as soon as I saw him again in Manchester, first time I’d been there, the journey was pretty daunting I have to say, but going wasn't a choice I needed to make, I had to go. He drove us to his and we’re sure his dog likes me more than him (good judge of character me thinks). So that Friday we went to one of his gigs, met his band mates and listened to them play then watched another band after theirs. We went out for a drink with their drummer and his then gf (now fiancé) then went back home to cosy up. When we went upstairs to put our pjs on and get the duvet he asked if he could tell me something. I said of course, and he said ‘You coming here has made me fall for you all over again.’ I almost teared up at that and just hugged him not knowing what to say, and even then he asked if I was okay or if he’d said too much. Anyway we went downstairs and I stole a sofa so he sat on the other, then we laid on there snuggled up and I said ‘I kinda love you’, with a bit of confusion at the ‘kinda’ he said it back. I explained I am terrible with saying how I feel, I have like a physical barrier - it’s really annoying but it’s faded a lot - and a little while after we said ‘I love you’ for the first time and we’ve been saying that for 11 months. The evening after we went out with his friends for a pre-birthday celebration, what a relief to find they’re all nerdy people who like to chat in a pub rather than go clubbing. We went to the Christmas market that weekend and he got us both hot chocolates which doubled as great hand warmers. We went to sit down and silly me decided it was a good day to wear a skirt up north in the winter, and this seat of course had to be metal, I wasn’t particularly bothered really but he noticed the goosebumps on my legs so put his thick cosy hoodie down so I could sit on it because he is bloody adorable, it was warmer though I have to admit.

That Monday when it came to leaving I cried the second I sat down on the train, I’m still surprised I held it together for that long. And the thing that really gets to me is he did too, I don’t know whether it was teary or if there were actual tears or not, but we definitely loved each other, it hasn’t gotten any easier to say goodbye. The most recent time he was here, the night before he was due to go home I couldn’t help myself from crying and he refused to let me cry without being hugged, the thing about hugs is that it’s a great way to hide your face, which is exactly what I wanted to do. 

I could write an essay on each time we see each other and still miss out parts, we’ve been on holiday to Corfu together where neither of us had been, we’ve been to Blackpool where I hadn’t been, and soon we’ll be going to London MCM where he hasn’t been before. When I put on my bio that I love him he hadn’t seen until we went on Skype and I hav never seen him more red or lost for words than that moment. There are so many cute things he does, he put his jacket around us when it was raining while I hugged him to keep warm. When asked if I was his girlfriend there wasn't even a second of hesitation before saying yes and that was adorable. He was worried about meeting my family because it tends to be a pretty important thing, but he was fine as soon as he saw my dog. He’s met a couple of my friends and they get along. Before he even met me he stayed up later than planned even though he was working late shifts then, because I was worried about my brother. He isn't an early morning person so is always groggy when I wake him up, but as soon as he sees me when he opens his eyes he always smiles. Every. Single.Time. When we go somewhere new for me he makes sure I'm not uncomfortable and am included. When I get stressed or upset he doesn't get annoyed, he just wants me to be okay and wishes he could cuddle me and help when he isn't there. There is an endless list of why I love him and that list can, and will only grow as we spend more time together. 

In short I just want to say this has been a fantastic year for me, I'm doing really well at uni and I love living away from home, I couldn't be happier that you’re the person I share this with. A lot happens in a year, and I am so glad we've gone through it together. You are honestly a wonderful person, and you've made me a better person for knowing you, I am the luckiest person in the world to have you. Following you was the best decision I’ve made because it’s led to this, if you hadn’t messaged me being a ‘Fellow Brit’ then we wouldn’t be where we are today, so thank you for that. Here’s to the first of many years together. I love you so much <3

I've got to say, as much as I hate getting on the train to go home after a long weekend with sirpatrickstar, after going on walks with the puppy together, hand in hand, making tea for each other, watching films and tv shows on the sofa as just us, in those moments just feeling as though everything has fallen into place perfectly, better than any book or any film, any imaginal creation, as much as I don't want to leave after a perfect few days, part of me smiles like mad because it reminds me in this huge rush, how much I am completely in love with him and never want to have to let him go. And it sticks in my mind exactly how he says it won't always be like this, how his eyes show he doesn't want there to be hurt so looks to a future with a perfect dorky smile on his face. I just can't help but be so incredibly happy knowing that there's a day when getting the train home will be in a direction towards him rather than away, I know it's only been 4 months but hugging him feels like home. The kind that makes you smile every time you realise they're right there and always will be, that all you've ever wanted is in front of you in the form of one person, the kind that lets you know that one day, goodbye won't have to be said, that one day it'll be more than a weekend

[londonfangirl]

It's the 3rd of February and I can't stop smiling because I have been in a relationship with a perfect guy for 4 months and love him down to every micrometer. I wouldn't change a thing and can't wait for what the future brings us. I'm so in love with him and got the cutest text to wish me a happy anniversary and now neither of us can stop smiling ❤️
