Love doesn’t come easy, but loving you is so easy.
You make me so happy being in love with you, and that’s enough for me. Even if you’re miles away, even if the Pacific Ocean stretches between us, you never fail to lift my spirits and bring a smile to my face.
On days when I’m tired, mentally, emotionally, and physically, I’d look for you, and my heart would be immediately at ease when I see you. I can go through the shittiest day ever, and the negativities melt away as soon as I see your face.
I love how your voice makes me feel when the night gets too chilly for my blanket to provide comfort and how it calms my racing heart down when my anxiety hits. If warmth and comfort took human form, they would be you.
I never feel alone whenever I think of you. Just a mere thought of you makes the flowers grow in my stomach, and every word I know rushes to my throat, only to be stuck right there. I have so much to say when it comes to you, but I just can’t find the right words to say. I always feel like you deserve the very best words crafted just for you and you alone; maybe that’s why I find it difficult to write about you. Even if I could write millions of words, it would never feel enough.
I love the shy smile you have when you get compliments and love the way you laugh so easily even at the most unfunny jokes. I love the way you would say random things to grab attention, only to forget what you meant to say, love the way you suck at expressing yourself verbally, and that makes you end up looking like a cute mess that I always adore.
I love your caring nature and how you always try to be there for others. I adore your sparkling eyes and how your lips curve into a big smile when you see your favorite food. I love the way the scars are placed on your skin; I would love to trace my finger along each and every one of them to draw constellations on your skin.
I just fell in love with every bit of you.
I love how you always remind me to surround myself with good people because I’m a good person. You inspire me to be better, not just for you, but for myself. Even if the entire universe turns its back on me, you remind me that there’s always a way forward. Thank you for motivating me and making me want to do better.
Maybe this is why loving you is so easy. You make everything in my life so bearable.
Whatever future I have ahead of me, I always want you to be there. I have been loving you for 11 years now and for longer, I will.
