I often find myself just standing here and silently watching you as you get ready in the evening. I am always amazed at how truly beautiful you are. How each move you make is like an artist as you put everything in its perfect place on that beautiful body of yours. I take pause as my heart fills with the love that I have for you and I feel the pride well up in my chest because out of all the men in this world you somehow chose me to share your life with. I still don’t understand it, but I say a quiet little thanks to God every time.

I could never explain it to you, but the beauty that you carry has overtaken me in a way that I have never imagined I could ever feel in this heart of mine. You came into my life and showed me what being loved and appreciated can do for a man. You gave me a purpose where I thought there was none. You have made me want to be a better man both for you and for myself. Of all the gifts you could have given to me, the gift of your love is one truly made of magic. I would lay down my life for you and my last breath would be used to say I love only you.

At night, when you’re laying next to me and your skin is touching mine it brings to me thoughts of how it must feel to be underwater to near drowning and to finally coming up to take a life-saving breath. I love the way you give yourself to me with trust and without fear in your heart and how you show me love and appreciation in the fact that you know I would never let anything bad happen to you.

I am truly blessed to have such a love in my life and I will always pray every night that I always have it here in my world.

So as I watch you there in all your grace preparing for a night out together, I smile knowing that every eye will be on you. Every man there will wish he had you and I know no matter how much they may look at you and no matter how much they may want you, it will be me that you come home with and give your love to when that door closes. That makes me feel like I’m the luckiest man in the world. I know that I am because I have you and I have your love.
