Alex,
Where do I start?
Today is your 20th birthday. This is the 4th birthday we have been together for, and I know that we will be together to celebrate your birthday each year for the rest of our lives.
The past 4 Years, 4 months and 10 days have been one hell of a relationship rollercoaster. We've had up and downs, we've passed milestones, we've laughed and we've cried, but I would never change it for the world because all the things we've been through or laughed about have brought me closer to you. You've taught me so much and helped me grow. You've been there when I needed you, comforted me and made me laugh! Whenever something good happens, you're the first person I want to tell. When something bad happens I can count on you to be there and tell me everything will be alright.

Being in a relationship, at a young age, has caused us to grow up together, and I will always be grateful for that. I got to grow up and experience the last 4 years of life with my best friend, battling whatever life throws but at the same time enjoying every moment of life together.

I don't think you know how special you are, not only to me but to so many people! I am so thankful for you, my life has changed for the better because of you. I don't know what I'd do without you.
You are so hardworking, you make me proud every day. You surprise me with what you learn or what you have decided to put you mind to that day! Your capabilities are endless!
I'm the luckiest woman in the world because I get to say I found my soulmate, and I'm in love with my best friend.
