On a Hallmark Holiday.

My heart. My best friend. My rescuer. My never ending source of encouragement.
I know we took a sort of round about way to get to where we are. I know it took me the better part of ten years to figure out what I always knew, my life is with you. You have always been everything to me, even when I tried not to let it show. We have certainly had our fair share of ups and downs over the years, but in the end… everything led me back to you and i’m eternally grateful.
You laugh at my jokes when no one else would ever think I was even a little funny. You have been there to hold me when all I could do was cry. You let me go when I needed my space, but you were never far. You’re one of the most caring, genuine, good hearted people that I have ever met. I’ve yet to run into a person that doesn’t think you’re anything less than amazing. You would do anything to help a friend and you have a smile (and these little crows feet) that stop me dead in my tracks. You’re a total romantic, maybe even more so than I am.
Truth is, I never really could picture my life without you in it. I don’t remember a time where we weren’t best friends, or together or trying to be together or any combination of those three things. I fought what I felt for so long, until that day I saw you and I just knew. I knew I had to do something, anything to make you mine because if I didn’t? Some other girl would… and I couldn’t live with that.
This Valentines Day, even though we’re apart and even though i’ll probably celebrate alone over a Lean Cuisine, a bottle of Pinot Grigio and the Food Network, I want you to know that I love you. From thousands of miles away, I love you with every little piece of my heart. You bring so much love and joy into my life… It’s something I never thought I could feel until now. It’s this amazing, all encompassing, colors are brighter, sun is shinier, butterflies all the time kind of love. I’m counting the days until I can jump into your arms and hold you close again.
Happy Valentines Day handsome, you make my life spectacular.
I love it.
