Beloved,


From the saltiness of my tears to the twinkle of my smile you have loved me. You wrap me in the warmth of your arms, holding onto me, as if not to forget. From the mischief in your eyes to the complexity of your mind, I love you. Not the love that I can't breathe without, but the love that I want to breathe life into you. The love that doesn't need to be held too tight because there is no fear that it'll disappear. The love that whether I see you often or rarely that I never doubt it.

You allow me to be the version of myself that I enjoy the most. You've allowed me to depend on you. Which can come a cross as insignificant, but I haven't had to hide myself from you. You are a man that I haven't walked away from, nor wanted to walk away from. You accept me and never made me feel otherwise.

I hope you are aware that I accept you as you are and love you. Nothing you've told or showed me changed my opinion of how admirable of a person you are. Sure most people don't get you and I can't say that I have solved the rubrics cube of all that you are, but I see you. I see you and I appreciate the man you are not only today, but the man I met four years ago too. 

You are inspiring, witty, combative, kind, dependable, a father, a son and a brother and much more. "There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth." - Nietzsche and you are a terribly beautiful person beloved.
