Letter of Love

I am exhausted, but very much feel the need to convey the message my husband sent to me. We are more on the same page than we have been since we were hopelessly (and absolutely helplessly) in love at the very beginning, then again at the next beginning.


To: Me
"I love you, and I would not ever choose to marry another, nor do I regret in any way marrying you.  You're my heart, my first and final real love, the person that makes people believe there is really just one true person out there.  

I know we aren't our best, but we are learning, and there is nothing that will allow me to stop fighting for you and for us.  I love you, and yes, it does hurt some times, but I would constantly choose the hurt you give me over the emptiness I'd have without you any and every day of the week.  That's what you are and mean to me, and don't you forget it.  

I don't need fancy cars, fancy hotels, fancy food.  I just want to be around you, with you, to explore and grow with you, to make love to you, to sleep and snuggle with you.  Regardless of status, there are few real comforts in life.  You're my comfort, so let's just have fun sometimes and play in the wild world."
