My Beloved

I love you so much! Just writing that small phrase puts such a smile on my face... NO, you put a smile on my face.

I love you because of your sweetness, your kindness, your tenderness and, of course, most of all, your thoughtfulness.

I love you because are you are my a true and loving friend. You smile at my silly jokes and enjoy my spirit.

I love you because I have a longing to be close to you and you long to be close to me, even when the miles separate us..

I love you when we do nothing but snuggle anywhere, while watching TV, or lying on the bed.

I love you as we hold hands when we go for a walk, at the movies, or across the table at a restaurant.

I love you because you listen to me as I share the small triumphs or struggles of the day.

I love you because in moments of friction between us, you hear me out; validate me, and understand me.

I love you because you respect and honor me for whom I am, rather than try to make me into someone I am not.

I love you because you suffer through my imperfections and my shortcomings largely without complaint.

I love you because you appreciate me. You enjoy my efforts to romance you. You value my generosity toward others.

Your special angel!
