To the one I love,

I’ve realized that as much as you were afraid of losing me, that fear blinded you into losing yourself, which is even scarier. Love can be overwhelming, confusing and can sometimes steer us in the wrong direction if we lose all control. We sometimes need to stop for a moment and get a grip to head in the right direction.

Although I don’t think it’s my fault you drifted away from your individuality, I may have not encouraged you enough to keep your balance.

I’m understanding that you need some time with yourself, to remember who you are as an individual and to know that you are happy and whole on your own. As much as I’d like to be there to help you find what you feel you may have lost, it’s something you need to do alone, to centre yourself and to recognize your own self worth and strength. Know that I’m doing the same.

You are an extraordinary person whom I’ve always been proud to call my love. A person who is so sweet, caring, thoughtful, competitive, funny, smart, passionate, beautiful, sexy, strong, sensitive, talented and just wonderful. I fell for an amazing woman who is not afraid to grow, to try new things and is fascinated by everything. You radiate beauty and joy when it comes to your love for the people you care about and your passions.

I want us to see all the beauties we seek to see in this world, learn everything that tickles our minds, to experience all the thrills we desire and to live life to its fullest. I want to share the journey with you as your life partner, by experiencing these things with you and by getting to share our stories when we can’t.

I want us to encourage each other to be the best we can be and to be supportive of one another. I never want to keep you from your life outside of me, nore do I want to drop my life for you or be joined at your hip. I’ve never tried to change who you are or myself. I just want us to share our lives and to find balance in our individuality and our couple, to not loose a sense of self. To share our growths as individuals and as lovers, to not feel as if we are loosing ourselves because we love each other so much, we need to communicate and be understanding.

We are so lucky to share such a strong bond that is filled with so much love, respect, compassion, happiness, laughter, passion, kindness, tenderness, thoughtfulness, complicity, understanding and acceptance. To make each other feel so beautiful, special, to share such strong values and to take each other as we are is what makes our core so strong. The way we look at each other, hold each other, make love to each other, kiss each other, excite each other and show up for each other are all proof of the love we share.

Our relationship is built on equality and mutual respect for one another. We just need to trust that our love is strong enough to be apart, to appreciate our times away from each other, to cherish the moments we are together even more.

You know me, I’ve proven my willingness and capacity to grow as an individual and as a couple. Let me show you again that it’s more than words.

From my heart, me
