There are a few things I want to apologize for first before I get into the goods.
With it being a new year, a resolution is all nice and good but it doesn't come without acknowledging mistakes and being a better person so as to learn from those mistakes. This is the month I want it all to change and get back to who made me so very happy, make up for a lot of lost time and begin the new chapter entitled Happily Ever After Part 2. But before I am able to regail my favorite turkey leg with all the sweet nothings that I want her to hear daily, I must first detail all of what I know was not good or where I failed to be her other half to my fullest. They range from the insignificant to the quite significant. But all make me want to make up for them because when you are happy and my arms are around your waist and your beautiful eyes are looking up at mine....there is nothing I can think of that would make me feel complete than to return that feeling to you.
I apologize...
For beating New Mario Bros wii once you died so we wouldn't conquer it together.
Making you watch Sinister.
Not being there for your 26th bday, there is never an excuse to miss your special day esp when it wasn't far away. Which then goes to apologizing for missing your 28,29, and 30th. You don't know how badly i wanted to celebrate with you and I promise you I won't let it happen again. I still remember doing gifts over facetime when you opened Funko Potter and Are You Afraid of the Dark and Cinderella, replacing your wii sensor bar :D
I let job/financial anxieties get in the way of truly living and enjoying our time because time with you is priceless and one of a kind. I shouldn't have let you take any of the financial burden and tried even harder to get some sort of income while you worked away to help us stay afloat.
Any time I may have accidentally sounded like I was making fun of your tough time reading, I promise you I was never laughing at you. I love hearing your voice tell a story or take on a character voice when playing a game.
The Christmas that ended at the Casino because I could've joined in and had more fun instead of being a baby and sitting in a chair the whole time or making you feel bad for doing things that I wasn't used to, there was no reason to make you feel bad.
Not helping pay for the U-Haul, we both used it and even had a friend pay for it for us and it wasn't nice or right to not help pay for it as well.
Throwing another baby tantrum when Ellen offered to help redecorate our apartment.
Upsetting you on New Years when all you wanted to hear that I was sorry for any frustration and pain I had put you through and there was nothing I could think of that would make me happier than to continue to wake up every morning next to you.
Letting homesickness ruin your wedding excitement. You have my word of my heart that it's you and always has been you that I want to say I do to.
Letting the finances get to the point where your bills were past due so I could pay mine and figure out the rent when I was running out.
Annoying you with all the butt spanking.
Being difficult instead of helpful and understanding when Ellen had stayed with us.
Also being the same when your dad stayed with us. It was family and you once again were a very accomidating great person who went out of her way to help someone.
Not taking you out on enough dates, I love being at a table with you and looking across at you. Smiling.
Not taking more than one second to know that I wanted to be with you no matter what it took and that you were worth more than anything I've ever known.
Not being a stronger other half for you. You always believed in me and loved me more than life itself and while I felt exactly the same, I should've shown it more and done more for you.
Hurting you like a complete asshole over the summer when it was exactly what I wanted with you. It's shameful and embarrassing and I think of it every day as the stupidest I have ever been. To go through the next couple of months just ended up being worse for me as a sort of karma and I really would give anything to be near you again.
Not staying awake the best when driving on our road trips to and from states.
Any time I was ever upset or angry with you over anything no matter what it was. A life with you is worth way more than a little thing here and there that I may not like or enjoy because a life with you is so special and lucky that any little issue is just a raindrop on a beautiful sunny day.
I always wanted to be someone you were proud to be with and so many instances you showed that you really were in love with me.
Speaking of those times, now for the things that I still think about and want more of every single day. Happily there are a lot more of these than there are of the mistakes and if you could see the smile on my face while I write these. :D
Telling you my stories at Ponderosa and secretly looking forward to them just so I could talk to you for a little.
That magical momentous day that you came into Giant Eagle and smiled and looked back at me before turning the corner to leave the store.
Getting us the Wii U
Feeding you gummy bears while we gamed.
Playing mario bros wii and kissing you for the first time before work.
You getting a ticket on the way back to Ohio and texting me about it.
Giving you crazy directions to my house and showing you all my art while we rubbed arms together quietly falling in love.
You staying home another day just to spend more time with me.
Spending my bday with you at the museum and Hard Rock Cafe and the incline.
Watching all the Star Wars movies with you and having sex during Phantom Menace to make it a better film.
You introducing me to Supernatural.
Our little Christmas tree in my room where we traded gifts like Luigi's Mansion, a Supernatural autograph and when I got you Animal Crossing, Mystical Ninja, Banjo kazooie, Sims, and every year seasons of Supernatural and Vampire Diaries.
Working at the Limited with you and getting you coffee and staying there late to drive home to watch Are you afraid of the dark.
You making your soup that smelled up my kitchen.
Whenever you would put your glasses on after playing a game for a little because it started to hurt your eyes and pushing them up against your face with one finger if they slide down your nose a little.

The way you would hold me when you slept and how it felt to have you up against me and the smell of your hair.
When you found out that the quote in Banjo "eekum bokum" meant ouch my balls hurt.
Going to the zoo with you and you had on your little tube top shirt and I could not keep my eyes off of you, even when we went to TGI Fridays afterwards.
Visiting you at work and bringing you lunch or getting you Panera Bread and that wonderful welcome when I would show up "hey darlin"
When you would visit me at Giant Eagle and I couldn't wait to leave work to spend time with you.
Walking Sammy up in Avalon/Bellevue while we chatted away.
You inviting me to come with you to Florida and watching the Lego movie in my bedroom.
Putting together the Mario puzzle on my floor and then having sex near it.
Spending time with you before you left in your bed watching Clerks and then saying goodbye to you in the rain. I played Lego Star Wars all night trying to stay up with you so you weren't alone, even when you made pit stops. So cute.
Facetiming while you were there and masterbating together and getting updates from you while you were there.
Sitting in the middle of our apartment with all of our boxes eating Boston Market on the floor and watching Supernatural, our first night there.
Our shopping trip out to a small store to get the essentials like a trash can.
Showering together in our little shower and hearing your music play.
Getting our Fritos pizza and the chinese food delivered from across the road.
All of the movies we saw from Cinderella, Minions, Avengers 2, Antman, Ninja Turtles, and more.
The trips to Universal and your excitement to ride and quote the Mummy ride, Spiderman, Transformers, and Harry Potter.
The way we would hold hands and walk along the lake when the park was closing and our day was over.

But most of all, just how you made me feel. Being with other people I can say that there is something truly special about you. Something I have never seen again and always have on my mind. For one, you are beautiful. You are so pretty and your hair feels so silky and your skin so smooth. Your eyes are big and cute and the way you feel when I hold you actually feels like I am connecting pieces together to form a whole person. Your voice can sooth no matter what bad day I may have and you have the best smile I have ever seen. You make me laugh in so many ways whether it be a call back joke or just zooming in on your nose during facetime. I miss laying in bed with you on facetime until you fell asleep and it was great watching Netflix despite the distance. You have the cutest personality and a great great heart. More people need to have the kind of heart and kindness that you do. You instantly brighten every day and I take time almost every day to look at the pics we took together every day. You really mean a lot to me and I truly believe in my heart that you are the one. There is a connection and a realness to us that is more than special. Just like you wrote, which I totally agree, I do want my Ramona and not my Knives, the girl who goes to cons and not concerts, the girl who can kick my ass in mario kart and sing like crazy in the car. The girl who knows that she can actually be her real self with me and not worry and know that we have so so so much in common. I love you, I have you on my mind every day and have for years. I love the girl who has a ninja turtle on her pencil and wears nerdy shirts and shoes and knows all the Harry Potter spells off by heart. The girl who still hopes and checks in to read this and wrote me a letter that I look at still and reread constantly. Even if that door is open just a sliver where only a paper can fit through barely, then that's one door I want to do whatever it takes to get back inside.
You are my fire. My one desire.
Have I told you lately that I love you
Hello, is it me you're looking for
Don't talk to strangers
I miss you dew drop and this month I am going to make it my mission to change it all and do whatever it takes to get your heart right back where it belongs. It's hard to breath without you and I feel like life is flying by me, the important life where I am engaged to a beautiful brunette and am working on an animated movie and am seeing and cosplaying star wars with her. Can't believe I haven't seen Last Jedi yet. Getting late and I need sleep badly so I will continue but I do want to say, I miss you and love you and I can't think of anyone that I would rather have on my mind all day than you.
PS, I'm reading girl on the train right now and one of the main characters is named megan and she is missing and everyone is looking for her. Just like my dreams. You are quite the popular megels.
Have a very wonderful night, stay warm because Florida finally got cold, don't let the bed bugs bite and the sweetest dreams I can possibly send to you. Nighty night dew drop. xoxoxoxox
