On Loving

Happy Love Day!
To note: In the following love letter, I use the pronoun "she". Please replace with your chosen pronouns. 

________

She looked in the mirror and said…

You are the light of my life. 
The sparkle in my heart.
And you give me butterflies with just one glance.
You and I are made for each other.
They call us lucky, but we know it’s more than that.
You are who I want to wake up to in the morning
And go to sleep to every night.
Your sweet kisses fill me to the brim.
Did I mention what a beautiful heart you have?
Cause you do!
I know I was put on this earth to love you deeply
And learn to stay open to you in the moments I want to close.
Thank you for holding me,
For listening to me,
And for choosing me, 
Even when it’s hard. 
Thank you for being on this journey and for showing me
That there’s so much more love available that I don’t even know yet. 
Being in your full presence is the most beautiful gift of all.
I’m so grateful for having you in my life
And I’m so grateful for being you. 

She said this to herself first, before she was able to say it to another.

A Quote On My Boyfriend's Wall
“Perhaps
we should love ourselves
so fiercely,
that when others see us
they know exactly how it should be done.”
― Rudy Francisco
