Our relationship started back in 2011 at a Church event, we were both shy and didn't know how to approach one another so we had a middle man, Blake. He exchanged our numbers and started a relationship that was meant to last. We became great friends and began texting each other everyday. Cordland knew what he wanted and didn't take time to say how he truly felt. Cordland a senior and I a junior in high school was hesitant and wanted to become myself first. So we remained friends and continued to converse from time to time. Cordland, never stopped expressing how he truly felt and never stopped telling me what I meant to him. Months sometimes would fly and I would open my messages and I would still have a message from him. After 7 years, I finally gave into him and was ready to begin this journey with him. We have been through some impossible situations and hard times that would test your faith. However we never left each others side, we have become stronger because of these situations. Our love holds dedication, commitment, tears, laughter, and struggles. We are forever grateful for one another and show it daily to one another.
