The love of my life.

I sit here as I write this after coming home from having the best day of my life this year, and definitely having one of the top 5 best days of my life. Pre-maturely celebrating my birthday (due to plans w/family) with my special significant other, Miss Boss. <3 The gift she gave me, as well as the one(s) she has in store to give me later, and the overall love and attention she's given me has made this the most unforgettable birthday celebration of my life, right next to the time she celebrated my birthday with me last year.

I can't ever repay you for the kindness you've given me over the years, and I'm not sure if I could ever give you the amount of love and attention you've given me, as well. The time we've spent together these past few years was the beginning of the 'new chapter' of my life, and it's one I hope continues and evolves into an even bigger chapter, with you forever being involved in later chapters and ultimately my book of life. I don't know what I've done to have been so blessed to have someone like you by my side. Hopefully it will stay this way for the rest of my life.

The lumpy throat you witnessed today is what I'm sitting here with again, trying to not cry from just sheer joy and happiness as I stare at the card on my desk. Once I'm over this excitement and joy, which will take months until it turns into a daily, eternal memory, I'll sit and figure out a way to beat you at your own game. I'll make your birthday better than the one I've given you last year, as well as the one you've given me this year. Then I'll look forward to what you'll do for me; we'll create our own little game. (As if we haven't yet.)

I love you, Babydoll, and I always will. I don't want you to ever forget that. No matter what happens, or what is said, or whatever comes between you and I that I will never leave your side, or never stop loving you. You're the inspiration in my life, you're the reason I wake up in the morning, you're the reason I consider myself so successful, you're the reason I haven't gone insane (yet), and you're the reason I want to keep on living. (Just imagine that sounding less suicidal.) I love you more than any metaphor could ever explain.

So here's to us hopefully spending the rest of our lives together and having tiny little goslings(lol) following us around like we saw today. (Still, you got points for that.) I just wish we could've celebrated today a little bit longer. Some time soon we will, though, right? I'll always be waiting, and you know that.
