When you realize you've met the one

My boyfriend I have been together going on 5 months. Tonight he told me how much he sees he really cares about me. It makes him happy to think about me and just looking at me makes him smile. He's glad we didn't rush into anything so neither of us get hurt. We live 1/2 away from each other at the moment and always spend our weekends together. Everytime I think about him or hear his ring tone I just smile and fill with happiness. Being single for 2 years, being out of a 5yr not so great last 2 years of that relationship, I can say I'm truly happy and in love with this man in my life....
But I am grateful he took the time to get to know me. I'm a very shy and quiet person, and am told can seem distant and not show my emotions/affection. Probably due to my last relationship where he wasn't very affectionate... with my current bf we hold hands, he loves cuddling and he calls me cute pet names, he always talks about things we'll do in the future, includes me everything in his life, and him in mine, we get along with each others parents. All that I wasn't used to in the past. This was all new to me. I'm slowly opening up and showing more. I guess with the right person and being showed how love should really be and being comfortable it opened my eyes and my heart to start showing my true feelings. I'm so glad I met him. But like a quote I seen... "When we first met, i didn't realize how important you would be to me" Because I honestly didn't think anyone could love me again ❤
