I, of course, did not write this, but damn if it does not speak most the words I feel for the love of my life right now!!!
____________________________________
I love you.
I always have, from that very moment we first met.
I always will.
Even when I thought that I had lost you, you were always there. In every thought that I had, in every breath that I took, in every beat of my heart.
I never forgot you even though it sometimes hurt to remember you. I never gave up hope even when all hope appeared lost. I never stopped loving you even though it seemed an impossible love.
I endured.
I waited.
I walked a thousand miles.
Until I found my way back to your door.
Never again.
I have learnt life's lessons.
I'll never let you slip through my fingers. I will never take you for granted. I'll never hurt you. I will never stop trying to be the man, the husband, the father of our children that you deserve. I'll never stop loving you.
Be my wife, my lover, the mother to our children, my constant companion, my best friend.
Measure the rest of our lives together in each flower that blooms in the spring, each ray of sun that shines in the summer, each leaf that turns golden in the autumn, each snowflake that falls in the winter.
Share with me a life of eskimo kisses, interlocking fingers, infinite looks of 'the usual'. Be the last thing I see when I close my eyes to dream of you, and the first thing I see when I return to the wonderful waking reality of you.
Grow old with me, be there at my side on every road traveled, share this lifetime with me. Keep me warm on the cold winter nights, hold me close during sunsets, kiss me for every star in the sky that we see.
Love me, always, until that day comes to scatter my ashes at the Hardy Tree.
Then know that I will be waiting once more, wandering in the winds of time and memories past, until I find you again in the forever after.
