I love my habibi

I met Mike 3 years ago. 3 years ago I treated him pretty horribly..would boss him around, would tell him lies, and I would humiliate him. "Mistakes are sometimes the best memories"...We learn from our mistakes. We grow to understand that the things you do can affect the people around you. Lying isn't something that I am proud of doing. The people I hurt is something I have to live with everyday because I know that what I did was wrong.

I lied about my name and my family and my way of living. Some lies were small...some were big. Marina will always be the name that I regret creating and the fake life that I created is something I want to forget. The people I hurt will never forget that, though...and Mike is the one I lied to and hurt the most. Everyone in my new clan are always telling Mike that he is bossy and he isn't right for me. No, I don't see it that way at all. Mike is the one for me. The way Mike treats me is nothing compared to how i use to treat him. He was my best friend...but he also was someone I loved messing with...that's not something I am proud of.

I made him so sad when one day I told him to never talk to me. My boyfriend at the time didn't like Mike. He hated our relationship and how we joked around. This was after the I told Mike the truth about who I am. Mike has stopped being my friend three times and those three times we made up.

"I look at him as a friend, then I realized I loved him." I tried so hard to become his girl friend. I wanted to make up with him so bad. Overtime I started realizing that Mike loves me for me. He always makes me feel happy, and he gives me advice about life. Then...in June of 2009 Mike finally asked me to be his girlfriend. It is now February 13, 2010 and we are still together and we are so in love that no one can understand how much love I have for Mike.

Mike is my life. He is my everything. He is a part of me. I love everything about Mike...how he talks, how he smiles, how he treats his friends. Even the little things he says makes me just want to kiss him. Mike treats me like his princess and I know I found my prince. I found someone who understands me and who wants to be a part of my life. I love our longg late night phone calls and our talks we have. I love how he shows me everything about Lebanon, and how he is able to open up to me and to share things with me that he has never told anyone.

"Everyday that goes by it seems like I discover something new about you to love it's incredible to me how one person can make such a big difference in my life, you touch me in a way no one else ever has and gave me so many reasons to love you."

Mahmoud you are my man...my soulmate...my best friend. You are my baby. I want to just continue to make you happy and I never want to make you sad. I love you so much and I am so glad that i met you and that I am able to be your girlfriend.

Happy Valentines Day habibi
