To My Love, an anonymous Valentine

I love you — not for what you do, but for who you are. True, you are incredibly comely — your form, your hair, your smile, those eyes! Your eyes hold the secrets of the centuries, shared with humility, generosity and patient grace. I love every single thing about you — I really do. Do you have funny little quirks? I suppose some might say so. To me they are 'you'isms — some of the adorable things that make me think of you and only you -- and I very much enjoy thinking of you. If I were actually the person you think me to be, I've no doubt I could single-handedly save the world. You see so much good in me — things I've certainly never seen. But that's just the way you are. You see the good and beauty in every thing, person and situation you encounter. How could I not love you madly?! You're love incarnate and have sweetly shown me a kindness and affection beyond my wildest imaginings. Add to that the fact that you are the most fun person I've ever met, and it's clear why I'm a goner. Your love is what the ballads are written about, what the romcoms wish they could be. Thank you for loving me. It is a gift I could never take for granted. It's just too precious. More than anything, thank you for being you, exactly the way you are. Happy Valentine's Day, my one and only love.
