.
I love you. I love you with a heart I wasn’t sure was still even beating before I met you.
I wasn’t looking for you. I didn’t think I needed you. Not because life was easy or good, but because it was messy and scary and shameful and I didn’t want to share it with someone.
You gave me four walls that became my safe place. You gave me four walls that I’d never seen before. You gave me four walls that became my home almost the instant my heart knew you.
And my heart does know you. My heart sees you. My heart needs you. My heart won’t beat the same ever again.
You’re the most beautiful picture of a human being I have ever seen. And I get to call you mine.
I don’t know if I’ll ever understand why you continue to choose me. But I thank God,
the stars,
the universe,
whatever I can possibly thank that you do.
