I love him so much

I actually cried tears of joy after our date tonight, we’re 11 days away from being together for 8 months. And I’m only 17 but this feels so real even though adults are like “you don’t even know what love is”. He is the most amazing guy I know, like ever since we’ve gotten together I don’t see anyone else. Other guys don’t attract me whatsoever. He’s not perfect, nobody is. He has a lot of mental issues and problems but I love him exactly how he is. He is caring and protective and I know he’s the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I’m not naive.
