I finally am in a relationship where the beginning isn't the peak

In so many of my past relationships, it felt like the beginning was the absolute pinnacle of it all and then it slowly faded into some grey version of that original beautiful promise of love. It was almost like I fell in love with that beginning version of the love I was given and tried desperately to reignite that at any turn.

In my current relationship, we've now been together for almost a year and it keeps getting better and better. In my past relationships I've heard "well of course we talked all the time back then, now we don't have anything to talk about" and just less effort and love in general. But now in my current relationship it just continues getting MORE loving, committed, thoughtful, intense... Somehow! I feel like I struck the lottery, really. I thought I was just stuck in this loop of being tricked in the beginning (not necessarily by the other person, but even by myself for believing things could stay that good), and I'd just have to eventually settle. But now I see that it really can just keep getting better. I'm so thankful for that.

Kind of a weird request, but could someone translate this into German for me?

I am learning German very slowly, definitely too slowly to be able to translate much of anything. I'd like to practice to be able to say this in German as best as I can to surprise my boyfriend with a silly/cheesy thing I wrote, but i really don't want to fuck up the translation with Google translate. Can anyone translate this to German for me in a way that doesn't sound horrible (if possible)? Thank you so much in advance, and sorry it's so sappy!! I would ask one of his friends but i'm just TOO EMBARRASSED and r/translator did not work out :( I knew if anyone would understand, it'd be you guys hahahah

It has been a year since I found you, and not a day has gone by without you. You have occupied the once-vacant space in my mind every morning I wake up and every night before I sleep. There is nothing I want more than to have the privilege of experiencing you every day for the rest of my life.
