A Love Letter

You and I have come a long way. Or rather, I’ve come a long way. You’ve always been there. I love that about you. You wait for me. You are patient. You never push me in our relationship. You allow me space to think, to learn to trust, to process, to dwell, and to understand. I love you for that. Today, my own words pale in comparison to those already written. These words are a love song in my heart for you. I adore you. I am filled up with you. I’m so in love with you. This song is resounding in my deepest soul for you. My heart burns for you.
