A Thank You to My Love

SoCalResident

You and I go back quite a bit
and yet, I'm more attracted to you every year.
It took me some time to get used to you
but now I can appreciate all that you are.
In my darkest moments you've given me comfort.
When I felt great joy, we celebrated together.
You've given me such depth of feelings
inspiring me to create expressions of art.
When everyone else turned their backs on me
you were always here, making me feel better, just by knowing you're close by.
You've never lied to me, cheated on me or hurt me (at least intentionally).
You've shared countless days making my life so much more enriched.
I know how desirable you are to so many others,
and I am so happy to have you to myself.
I tell all my friends about how much I look forward to our time spent together.
And as I look back, there are so many happy memories you've been a part of.
No matter what, I am grateful to have you in my life
and will forever hold you dear to me, whatever the future brings.
So now, I'd like to take this time to thank you, for all you've done.
Cheers to you, my glass of wine, and look forward to loving you for years to come!
