A Love Letter to My Husband

For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

-James Baldwin



Every moment I am with you, I love you more than the moment before. It feels as if we have been in love our whole lives, yet we have not known each other even a decade. I wonder what exists in the two of us to make us to make me love you so much, so unconditionally, so completely.

When I look at you, I remember very clearly the first day I knew that I loved you. I remember what you were wearing, how you smelled, how you looked at me. I remember so many moments with you and all of them are filled with wonder and happiness and joy.

I cannot imagine a day on this earth without you. I do not want a future without you in it. I love you with all of heart, all of my soul.
