I love you…

     Because in a world that is so confusing and frightening, you are my beacon and my light…

I love you…

     Because even while everything is changing around me, you remain my constant…

I love you…

     Because while many would choose to bury the past, you share yours with unflinching honesty…

I love you…

     Because even though others would prefer to do the grand and the dazzling, you choose to do the simple yet profound…

I love you…

     Because while so many believe themselves to be the center of the universe, you put God in the center of yours…

I love you…

     Because in a world where people talk about every single achievement they have, you keep your silence and let your actions speak for themselves…

I love you…

     Because you are so much more than who other people believe you to be…

I love you…

     Because you touch so many lives in so many ways…

I love you…

     Because you have touched my life in the most meaningful way…

I love you…

     Because you give me so many reasons each day to fall deeper in love with you…

I love you…

     Because you are the best mentor I could ask for, the best friend I could dream of, and the best boyfriend I could ever hope to have…

I love you…

     Because the past one hundred and twenty four days make me look forward all the more to endless tomorrows…

I love you…

    Because I love you… for all you were… all you are… and all you would be…

I love you James Castillo Aquino…
