In Your Eyes

     You do more than complete me.  With you, I have far more than everything I’ve ever hoped to have.  Your love fills me with so much joy that I feel as if my heart is constantly overflowing with emotion.

     The past year has been marked with so many challenges that we had to face, both as individuals and as a couple.  The accusations, the hesitations, and the distance have all seemingly conspired to halt the growth of a fragile love.  But if anything, all these things have made us stronger and better - two people growing together and learning together hand in hand.  Despite all the tears that we’ve both cried, I would never change a single aspect of our story.  A love story that has bloomed from friendship, was nourished inspite of distance and perfected through pain.

     I never would have been able to make it through Japan alone if not for your constant presence in my life.  You made everything lighter to bear and you made me feel, even in the coldest nights and darkest hours, that you were with me; maybe not hand in hand, but heart to heart and soul to soul.  Your love reached out to me and enveloped me in warmth even through a million miles.  And I knew with a deep reassurance that I never was, and I never will be, alone.

     It used to be that the thing I looked forward to the most was my homecoming.  To finally see you, and touch you, and hold you.  Words cannot explain the blissful elation I felt when you gave me that long-overdue hug at the airport.  At that point, I thought that there wouldn’t be a moment better than that instance.  But each day I spent with you since then have formed so many beautiful memories, each so uniquely resounding in perfection.  And now, I find myself looking forward to every single tomorrow that I would spend with you.

     I never could thank you enough for everything you do for me, more so, for the way you love me and care for me.  I feel so lucky and so blessed to belong to you.  And yes, I would always be yours.  And just as I know that you would do all that you can to make me happy, rest assured with the knowledge that my greatest joy would be doing all I can to make you as happy as you make me.

     You made me a believer… that dreams do come true and that there is no greater masterpiece than the plan God lays out for us.  I hope and I pray that the road He has paved for us would have no end.  You are my personal miracle, and our relationship has intensified my faith.  Thank you, my angel.  Because in your eyes I see the magnificence of His will, the enormity of our love, and visions of forever.

     I love you James.
