You did a good job but the other guy doesn't understand the King's Gambit. He should have tried to break up your King-side pawn chain with moves like g3 or h4.
Also 5. d3 was passive, surely 5. d4 or 5. h4 offers more.

1. 19...a5...very nice that you knew enough not to trade away a very active and dominant bishop for the rook.
2. Your opponent does not know the Kings Gambit.
I'm not sure he'd have to trade his dominant Bishop. If Bxd3 first, after Queen captures he can go ahead and take the Rook with the good Bishop and retreat it safely enough.
Or if he takes with the good bishop and if white plays d4 can't Black play Re4?
Normally I do not to very great vs the kings gambit. However in this game I think I did a real good job.
