I will continue to love you

  Good morning, baby, on this beautiful morning! It's my last day of work this year, and I'm so excited about our 4 consecutive holidays from tomorrow. I know that they will pass quickly, as all fun days do, but I know that I will enjoy them.
  This year has truly been a good one. The few years of my life with you have been the best. I have not felt more fulfilled and challenged than I have while being with you. I can honestly say that you have given to my life exactly what it has lacked all this time. For which reasons and many more I want to marry you.
  On the 28th of December, 2011, in the hustle 'n bustle of the Christmas and New Year season, we became legally married. We virtually forced our marriage papers through. So from now on Christmas will be a special time for us.
  I want to tell you again that I love you with all my heart. My love has not changed from when we first met. And I will continue to love you.

Merry Christmas, baby

  It's been quite a hectic month of pneumonia, colds, fevers, chicken-pox, and chronic coughs amidst the busiest month of the year for both of the companies we work in. I have to admit that it's been difficult keeping the closeness between us and the romance alive, and it's been more of a struggle to stay above water than in previous months, but Christmas is here, and today I've been reminded that there is nothing better and no better a feeling than to be with family celebrating such a warm festivity as Christmas.
  Today, on Christmas day, I'm reminded of the most important thing in life--family.

Our relationship

"Don't hold on to love too tight for you may strangle it."

  I think we've done a good job at this. It could just be the reason we are still together. Our relationship gives us space to think and feel; it certainly doesn't suffocate us. 

  I know that we both sometimes feel that a part of our relationship started off because of practical conveniences. A part of it, yes. But I think our relationship is exactly what it's supposed to be to the benefit of ourselves, our boys, and those around us. More specifically, we are discovering ourselves more and becoming better, more useful, people. Our boys are steps ahead of us because of our mistakes. Our friends and family know that we are human, that we help each other out. And that's what I think life is--people. 

  

A poem I wrote for you a year and a half ago

Written 2010'5'18

I’m thinking about you

I’m thinking about you…
I didn’t think that I’d feel so alone without you at my side
That my love for you would grow into such a beautiful thing
I didn’t think that in you I would really confide
I am learning, and for you my love is growing; to you I want to cling

I’m thinking about you…
The thought of going home to you is a thought of sheer bliss
I cannot wait to see you—I miss you so much
I picture your face; your lips I want to kiss
Baby, oh baby, I want to feel your touch

I’m thinking about you…
I want to go home and see your smile
To hold your face and stroke your hair
I want to walk with you for miles and miles
No matter where the path takes us, I don’t care

I’m thinking about you…
I remember the fun times, the good times that we’ve shared
I remember the not so pleasant times
The times that you flared

I’m thinking about you…
I appreciate the hard times—they have drawn us closer
Risk and thrill make us feel alive
Just like the rollercoaster

I’m thinking about you, I’m thinking about you, I’m thinking about you
