love letter

this is my love letter to you

i love you  because of all that you taught me about me
 and about my strength and how you believe in me

about how i learned how brightly i shine
and how certain clouds can dim my shimmer

you have clearly taught me about my weaknesses
 and how they make me stronger

i love you because you are real

 and genuine 

and a fucking amazing

 and good man.
i love how smart you are
and how you set goals and achieve them

i love your heart

 even when you dont show it, i can still see it
i love how you look at me
 how you say that i am beautiful
and i know that you mean it
i love your tenderness
and how gentle you touch me
i love your playfulness
and seeing the spark in your eyes when you smile
i love early mornings with you and ending the day with wine and dinner
i love Love LOVE to cook with you
i love listening to your dreams of what we will do when we grow up.
i love that you know my love list..... no one else does

i love your smile

 and how you giggle in your sleep 

and how you wake up singing

i love your precious heart

 and how much you love kids

i love how you love your family

how you love O and C and R and H and S and N

how you have loved your son for so long

 and have been so patient with the time it took 

to develop the relationship that you have today

 i love that it grows stronger with every passing moment

i love every story you tell about your dad.

 i love that i know with all my being 

that he is so proud of you. 

you are a treasure to me and i am grateful that we shared so many good and crazy times together!
