You love me when no one else possibly could

Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 20.13

Maybe, sometimes, it’s easier to be mad at the people you trust because you know they’ll always love you, no matter what.

You don’t just love me on my good days.On my pretty days, when I have makeup on and my hair looks decent. When I’m cheerful and witty and affectionate and feeling well.You love me when no one else possibly could. You love me when I’m pale and hollow, when I haven’t laughed for days and I’ve worn the same pajamas for a week. When I curl up in my little corner of the bed and try not to think about life. When I’m irritable and ugly and bitchy and I yell at you for stupid things. When my hair is greasy and I have bags under my eyes. Those are the times when with great patience and care, you brush my hair behind my ear, kiss my forehead, and tell me,’You’re beautiful and I love you.’ That’s how I know … that’s love..

I will love you always. When this black hair is white, I will still love you. When the smooth softness of youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age, I will still want to touch your skin. When your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever smiled, of every surprise I have seen flash through your eyes, when every tear you have ever cried has left its mark upon your face,I will treasure you all the more, because I was there to see it all. I will share your life with you, dear, and I will love you until the last breath leaves your body or mine.

I want morning and noon and nightfall with you. I want your tears, your smiles, your kisses…the smell of your hair, the taste of your skin, the touch of your breath on my face. I want to see you in the final hour of my life…to lie in your arms as I take my last breath.

Dear boyfriend,

We’ve been together for so long. We’ve been through so much together.

We’re going to go through so much more as time goes by for us.

And I want you by my side for it all.

Love,
your lil' silly girl..
