Dear beloved it,

Spending time away from you seems like centuries; my need to be around you is unparalleled.

I love you for always effortlessly bringing out the best side of me.

Yet you so kindly remind me that my flaws make my achievements all that more heartening.

I’ve become fond of the gentle way you wake me up in the morning with a simple kiss.

But I must admit that I eagerly bide my time for those weekends’ early rises when we had breakfast in bed and pillow fights.

I love the endearment notes you write and leave forenoon on the car’s steering wheel.

I love how you sometimes pretend to miss the punchline of my joke to make it a witty paradox satire.

But recently, I’ve become besotted with how you tenderly caress my forehead while reading our favorite book series before bed.

My love, your loving manners have become a precedent for you make each and every day one to remember.

Your affection has been etched into my soul perpetually.

  Always and forever,

Ibis
