"I have to tell you this and you need to hear it.

I've loved you since i met you...

but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today.

I was always thinking ahead.

Making decisions out of fear.

Today, because of what i learned from you...

every choice i made was different and my life has

completely changed.

And I've learned that if you do that you're living your life fully.

It doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years...

Samantha, if not for today

if not for you...

I would never have known love at all.

So thank you for being the person who taught me to love.

And to be loved..."
