Baby,
Thanks for telling I’m beautiful over and over—and mean it
Thanks for telling me I am beautiful when I first wake up
Thanks for telling me I am beautiful when I get wet in the
rain
Thanks for telling me I am beautiful when I have ketchup
stains on my face
Thanks for telling me I am beautiful even after a sweaty
game of badminton
Thanks for telling me I am beautiful when you fetch me from
the hospital after a morning duty
Thanks for telling me I am beautiful when I just went on
crying
Thanks for telling me I am beautiful when I don’t want to
hear it.
And thanks for telling me I’m beautiful when I needed to
hear it!
I know that this is love because I have a feeling that 20 or
more years from now, when we are wrinkled and gray, you will still show me the
kind of love that we always share—true, honest and real.
I imagine life with you. I want to sit together with you in
our patio on Sunday afternoons. I want to contend with you on who uses the
computer first. I want to argue with you about little political views. I want
to travel the world with you. I want to learn baking with you. I want to cuddle
with you on a stormy night. I want to be right by your side when the world
seems to spin so fast.
Thank you for always sharing your sunshine with me. Please know
that I always keep some in my pocket and save it for later. But just in case
the rain will fall hard on you, don’t worry, I’ll always give it back. I will
be your air to remind you to breath easy. I will be your mirror to make sure
you will not forget to love yourself. Remember that the world is made of sugar,
it will easily crumble but I will be there to hold your hand tight and we’ll
stick our tongue out together to taste it. I love you, I always will.
Jas
