Dear James, my angel,
I know that I have been overly emotional lately, and I apologize. I’ve tested your patience several times, and we’ve been through some rough patches, but still, here we are. Thank you for making an effort to understand me, and thank you because despite my mood swings and crying spells, you’re still there to love me unconditionally.
I thought that getting married would lessen my need to be with you. I thought that the fact that we are to live in the same house, seeing each other on a daily basis, would dampen the headiness that I feel whenever I’m in your arms. But surprisingly, getting married has intensified my need to be with you, so much that I turn into an emotional, anxious wreck when you’re not around. I thought that I was strong, but I am only strong for as long as I am with you. Without you, I crumble and I fall.
With you, I am better. With you, I can soar. You’re the one who gave me wings after all. You mended what was broken in me, and filled what was empty. You made life so wonderful that I can no longer imagine life without you beside me. Happiness equates to you. Love equates to you. Life equates to you…
We’ve been through so much already, yet I know that there still are so many challenges that we have yet to face. But I am not afraid. Why should I be, when I know that the strength of our love is enough to overcome whatever adversities may come. I would gladly face all tomorrows, because I am secure in your love for me. And know that I, too, love you. More than words can say…
Always & forever,
Raine
