I Love You

So many people have remarked how happy I am now. And indeed I feel almost delirious at times.

This morning and every morning that I have woken either by your gentle kisses or the sight of your beautiful sleeping face, I am overwhelmed. There is a peaceful calm that sits in my heart now, at the center of me.

I see how you try to weave me into your life. How your thoughts always include me, even when I don't think they do. Or do in a way that I do not prefer. But they do.

I know how effortless it has been to let you in. Despite my terror, there is something about you I want to believe in.

You always tell me you are here, by my side. And I know you are, in every way that is important.

That I love you is beyond doubt. And I know you realise it truly.

There is so little doubt with you. You tell me things I don't even ask for.

I love you, plain and simple. With a gentleness I knew before but with a lot less doubt. It's like stretching in bed on a Saturday morning with nothing to do except love you to my heart's content.

Thank you for today, thank you for this morning. It's my favourite way to wake up. Next to you, long and langourous, with little to do except think about what we have to eat.

I love the way you kiss me incessantly, can't keep your fingers off me, want me and reach for me all the time.

I love that you love me back, without fear now, with all your heart.

I love you.
