368 days ago, I began dating my boyfriend. It was a good choice...and thinking back on how close I came to not dating him scares me a little bit. I'm still not sure how he got through to me, how he melted the hard ice that had encased my fragile heart; probably it was a combination of small gestures, little things here and there....and an awful lot of patience.

There are people who think this is unfair, but the truth of it is that this man has won me over little by little, has earned my trust (not an easy thing) and also, I feel very fortunate to be with him as well. :-)
