~Dear David~

There are very few words that I could say to you that would express the undying love I have for you. You have touched my heart and spirit like no other. You have inspired me when I have felt inspiration failing, and you have given me hope when I have given up. But beyond all that, you have given me a love that I never thought possible
When we met all those years ago, I never dreamed that it was the beginning of the most beautiful journey that I would ever take. I thought the kind of love we have was only the words of poets and bards; that real people didn't share this kind of love. But I see the world differently now. And I thank you for opening my eyes.
When we got our first apartment together, I was so excited! I couldn't believe that I got to see you everyday, and be with you all the time. I never knew how much I could love. Those days still bring a tear to my eye, as I remember how we used to fumble through life and learning how to be a domestic couple. So many wonderful things to recall: the deep conversations over morning tea, discussing the meaning of life at the laundry mat, eating kim chee at that little Chinese restaurant, and most of all, falling asleep under the big picture window in our bedroom. It was such an enchanted time.
But life happened, and some of the glossy vaneer faded. For a time, we lost sight of what was important. Bills piled up, and material wants took up too much of our time. Thank the Gods that we have since gone back to the simple life, and left the hustle and bustle of the old life behind. That vaneer shines again, dispite our struggles. I am amazed at how well we work, live, and love together. I find myself loving you more each day, and in ways that I never could have anticipated.
I keep remembering how you looked at our wedding, and how suprisingly calm we both were. I was so nervous until I stepped out of the house with my dad. As soon as I saw you, a huge wave of love swept over me, and I had no more worry. I remember how you looked at me when you lifted my veil, and flashed me that warm smile with those darling dimples. I could hardly take my eyes off of you. I still can't believe how perfect it was.
Our honeymoon was equally magical, and each day brought more delight. I still remember how we played in the ocean, and kissed under the warm Bahamian sun. The romantic walks on the decks of the ship, the gourmet dinners, dancing, playing games...it all seems like a dream, yet we were there. We lived it, together, and it was just an indication of the days yet to come. You are a gift to me, from the Gods, and I thank Them every day for allowing me to find my soul mate.
I love you, I adore you, and I will for all of time. You make me complete.

Your loving wife,
Toby

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds doth shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
~William Shakespeare

I love you, David
