Get the shopiooee mug.A reason to live. I’ve always loved her since day one and still do even after my very last breath. She’s the kind of girl you need in your life. She’s smart, beautiful, funny, brave, determined, helpful, etc. I didn’t know what Love was or even living felt like for such a long time, till I met Shofia. I love her so much, more than words and actions can ever explain. Not even this is enough. I’m in love with with this girl and the only thing I’m sure about my life since day one and forever is her, only her. Distance can never effect my love for her. She says she hates her name, I love every single letter of it. The sound of it makes me love her even more. I never did believe in soulmates or love at first sight. Thought it was this stupid thing people fantasize and only happened in tv shows. One day, I believed in it as well. One look and one text created love at first sight. The more we talked, I knew she was soulmate. Her smile lights up the room, the smile that makes my heart melt. Waking up everyday to text her makes me the happiest. Ask me who I love the most, i will say my baby Shofia. i love you mí amor
