Valentine's

Come this Valentine's Day, we would have lived our lives together as a couple for 8 years. Our relationship has seen its fair share of ups and downs and in the years together, we have learnt to appreciate the little things that we do for each other, like the back rubs I give my Darling, Chris and him, stroking my hair.

Yes, it's the little things that matters.

Baby, thank you for being there for me. We have seen each other at our ugliest and we could have just thrown in the towel but that would be taking the easy way out and I am extremely grateful that we decided that, for better and more so for worse, we will stand together. I know at times, I can get on your nerves and irritate the hell out of you but I hope that I make you laugh just as hard too. I am fortunate to know that you have my back and I will always be there to support you and lend a listening ear. Even if we had to walk to the end of the world, you know your walk will never be alone.

I cannot remember when it started but you have become my life quite literally. I do not need the flowers, or the fancy dinners because I know you truly mean it when you tell me you love me. For me, it is everything. But I am sure you can feel my delight when you do surprise me with gifts or a simple meal. Of course, there are times when I recall the rides you gave me on your bike, the dinners that you prepared or the laundry that you had done when I came home late from campus. We have come a long way, but I guess, with Cheryl now, our journey has just but began. Let us hold onto each other and together, anything and everything is possible.

I don't know how else to say it, but I guess I can steal a line from Michael Bolton and say, "Said I loved you but I lied, cause this is more than love I feel inside. Said I loved you but I was wrong, cause love could never ever feel so strong."

"Happy Valentine's, my Darling, the man of my dreams, the father of my child."
