A Love Letter To 'The Boy Who Stole My Heart'

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we asked Patch readers to write a love letter to that special someone and let us deliver it. This is a love letter from Alexis Wagner to her boyfriend:

To the boy who stole my heart, you're a man now; by far my favorite person. You're my best friend, my boyfriend and my sole confidant. I don't know what I would do without you. This Valentine's Day I want to say thank you for all that you do. You make me want to become a better person, and push me to strive for greatness.

To the man who holds my heart, thank you for being there for me at my lowest times, celebrating with me at my highest. Thank you for the inspirational pep talks, the endless laughs and the moments of comfortable silence.

This Valentine's Day, I want to thank you for showing me how to love and be loved. How to laugh when it is funny and let me cry when I'm hurting. Words can never express how much you mean to me. Thank you for loving me for me and for all the times we share. I love you.

--Alexis Wagner
