them and him

Them:

-The one who compared the way he felt about me cutting my hair short to the way I might feel about him losing a leg.
-The one who thought playing video games in his room at his parents' house was a great first date
-The one who had already slept with 19 women
-The one who told me his friends didn't like the way I dressed
-The one who pretended that nothing had ever happened between us
-The one who told me I had the perfect body from the waist down

Him:

-The one who tells me I'm beautiful
-The one who encourages me and pushes me to be a better person
-The one who forgives me when I mess up
-The one who always defends me, always has my back
-The one who has never made me feel ugly or ashamed
-The one who is my best friend
-The one that made all of Them look like silly, immature school boys

Eight years ago, today, I chose him and he chose me. And I would do it again in a heartbeat.
