I love you, [Name], seeing you in that doorway made everything fall into place for me.

I love you; I will keep being the person who folds your napkin when you forget.

I love you, [Name], I’m smiling at your tiny scar above your knuckle that I’ve always loved.

Meet me on the balcony after the last song and don’t be late.

I’m thrilled we get to tell our story to people who know us.

I am not perfect and I will apologize when I’m wrong.

Keep the napkin from dinner tonight; I’m keeping mine too.

I am full of relief that you chose this life with me.

Your boutonnière fell when you bowed and I will carry it for you.

I want to be the person who makes you tea on rainy mornings.
