my best friend.

best friend (n.) - the one friend who is closest to you.

meet my best friend (aka mas: my boyfriend, greatest man i know):

*i've never known someone who was so easy to be around. i could be with him for hours, even days, and never be tired or want him to leave.

*we laugh. he makes me laugh. if you are around him for 5 mins., you will be laughing.

*he has taught me to trust. i have never known how to trust anyone, but he has taught me that to trust can be possible, and easy. trusting him is easy.

*he is gorgeous, inside and out. i love everything about his body (might as well be blunt). he doesn't even understand how handsome i think he is.

*he knows how to speak his mind and does it with passion. i aspire to be like him.

*he is the smartest man i know. 

*he knows himself. he is comfortable in his own skin. (no wonder other's want to be like him.)

*i am a better person when he is around. he brings out the best in me, to say the least.

*he loves deeply. tough on the outside, but has a heart of gold that is indescribable, undeniable. 

*with just one look, he gives me butterflies, even still.

*he looks awesome in these one pair of blue jeans he has. he looks great in everything, but them jeans are ... whew. :P

*he is always pushing me to be better without actually pushing. he makes me want to be a better woman. (cliche, to the max. true nonetheless.)

*he loves music like it is going out of style. he has enriched my musical taste-buds, thankfully.

*i've never met a more talented guitarist. he would probably say to that comment that i haven't been out much, but i think he has more talent than he gives himself credit for. 

*he is wildly nostalgic. it makes me want to hear all his stories, know all his favorite things. i want to see the places he loves, all the places he has ever loved. (insert lyrics from a rascal flatts song here.)

*he loves his family. it is obvious. his grandfather means the world to him. it is beautiful the relationship they have. to a person with no real connection to their own grandparents, i am touched by their closeness. 

*he has the silliest "ticks". he does things subconsciously that make me smile. (i.e. rubs his fingers together when he is thinking ...)

*tears come to my eyes when i think of all the sweet things he does. he holds my hand in the car, and i get butterflies every time. he pulls me close, and my heart races.

all synonyms in the thesaurus for the word perfect aren't enough to describe him.

he has me ... hook, line, and sinker. 

he told me on our 3rd? date, "you're in my head. ... i want to be the man in those pictures in your room. ... you're what i've been looking for." 

i'm so glad i met him. he has made/is making my life richer and happier and full(er).

i didn't expect to meet my best friend that random night, but that is how it is suppose to happen. it is sweeter that way.

i just want him to know that he is my best friend.

7 months. oh, it's been awe-some! all i gotta say is ... "ya fired."
