I love you, Not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you, Not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that you bring out;
I love you for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart and passing over all the foolish, weak things that you can't help dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings that no one else has looked quite far enough to find.
I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life,
not a tavern, but a temple; out of the works of my every day, not a
reproach, but a song.
I can't believe it has been 14 years already! It feels like it was only yesterday. I cannot imagine my life without you in it. Thank you for being the man you are. I love you!
