Done all my jobs, vegetable peeler, washing up after dinner, etc etc. So now sat down on my own in the quiet for a bit to write to you.

You are an amazing person – you don’t properly recognise all of the qualities in your personality. Yet you show me those very same qualities every single day – even when we are apart, they are in your messages and in the effort that you make so that we can talk if only for a short while. And it is not just me, you are kind to so many others even when they don’t deserve or perhaps even want it. You are incredibly good at what you do – as a team we would be lost without you. And of course, I would be lost without you in my life. Once again I can only apologise that I never properly recognised every act of kindness that you showed to me in the past but I did notice some and I was always genuinely really touched. And to this very day you are the only person who has ever spontaneously sent me a text to say “are you ok?” – no one else ever…

So I believe that I am a very lucky person indeed – you care for me in a way that I have never known before. You show me love and affection, tenderness and kindness, and a clarity of thought when it comes to “us” driven by the simplicity (but rarity) of absolute and unconditional love. I am overwhelmed – I feel unworthy. But at the same time I feel a love for you which I have never known for anyone. From within me it wells up, it flows through me and it spills out of me. I know that it does not always come across to you as it should – and for that I am sorry – but with time I will get better – and I am determined that you will see the love that I have for you.

My darling beautiful one – you are a very special soul. For me you are simply everything – the love that I have for you is intense, it is uncontrolled, it is profound, it is the most exciting feeling I have ever known. You complete me, your love engulfs me, my heart is yours and I belong to you. It is for me to set out our path into the sunshine – I will need your help – I love you and you are eternally my beautiful one x.
