I wrote this for her birthday! She loved it and cried! Awwww!

I thought of getting you a card, but since I am a half-way decent writer, I figured that I could say it better in my own words. I’m not sure what to say, though, because I believe I’ve said it all before. But, it can never be said enough.

You brighten my world each day…every smile, every kiss, every touch. And, I can honestly say, I love you more now, then I ever did, then I ever thought possible. I can also honestly say, that you grow on me more and more everyday. It is somewhat depressing when you journey out of the lustful stage, the passion stage, and your faced with the “real” person. But, I have found with each passing day, that I don’t long for the days of the past. I long for our future, for what we have now, because not many people get this far. It is always easy to be in lust with someone, it is always easy to be attracted to someone, but isn’t always easy to truly be in love with someone. For this is the time, when you finally see their faults, see their mistakes, discover their insecurities…this is the roller coaster ride. Up and down through an emotional journey, but somewhere you realize you wouldn’t want to be doing it with anyone else. You know my weaknesses, and yet, you still love me. And that is what makes our relationship so special, you know me in every way, I don’t have to hide. I think this is what love is made of, the moment when you can be yourself, and not worry about the consequences.

As you know, trusting someone has always been extremely difficult for me, but loving you has built a trusting foundation, that has given me the opportunity to not only trust in you, but in other people as well. Letting someone in has also been hard for me, but bringing you in has given more benefits then I ever thought possible. Though it is a cliché, it is definitely true, loving you has made me a better person. You made me walk through the lowest points in my life, instead of carrying me. You made me fight for my freedom, instead of fighting for me. And most importantly, you made me learn to love myself, the way you love me. In so many ways, I try to thank you for this, but I can never do enough for someone who taught me to live again. Not only live again, but enjoy it. So it is not any wonder how the imperfections of this relationship, bring out a bond of perfection between us.

What is it that I love most about you? I have often asked myself this question, but I find it hard to answer it. There are so many things that amaze me about you, but there is something about your eyes. They penetrate me, always giving me an answer to my insecurities. I see everything there, they way you love me, how you feel…they never keep me guessing. I see where I stand, so I never have to question it.

So on your birthday, as I’m writing this now, I thank whatever for bringing you into this world, for bringing you into my life, and most importantly, for the happiness that you’ve created inside of me. I love you!
