happy birthday to my wife

Dear Chelsea:

Let me tell you why I love you:

First, I love you because I do.

I love you because of you.

There’s no greater love than you.

Your love is out of this world:

It’s angelic,

It’s real,

And it’s authentic.

Chelsea –

it’s you I love

because you are love,

and I love that about you.

It radiates from you,

it affects all of you,

and it is you.

Your heart is mine and

my heart is yours.

It has always been that way

and will remain ‘til endless day

It’s a love I’d never forget,

a love I’d never resent,

and a love I’d never regret.

It’s love

unrelenting,

unforgetting,

and love unending.

There’s that love, then there’s this love.

There’s that way, then there’s this way.

There’s them, then there’s us.

Our love is matchless.

WE STAND OUT.

I’ve said it before,

a truth I cannot ignore:

that you make me believe in God more.

You were brought to me,

and I was brought to you.

Born for you I was,

and born for me you were.

If God was playing chess with modernity

We’d be the two most important pieces:

You’d be the Queen and I the King.

There’s no undoing my affection,

no backspacing my addiction,

and no deleting my heart’s obligation

to you,

for you,

and forever with you.

The things we’ve had to do,

The things we still go through,

and the things that await us too.

I can’t believe I still have you.

Dear Chelsea,

Dear baby,

Don’t you see?

Without you,

I don’t even have me.

O how this keeps proving true:

that love

I do

You.

Happy birthday, boo.
