For. Ever.
What does forever really mean? You can’t put a date on it. It isn’t tangible. To some, things that aren’t tangible or realistic, hold little importance. But you hear the word forever and think: that’s a long time. This is what forever was to me less than a year ago; just an intangible description of my life on earth and afterwards. Forever consisted of multiple question marks, a few fears, a plethora of predictable milestones, and an empty seat where this person that would mean a whole lot to me would reside. Forever is more than an important word or reality to me, now; forever is the gift of time I’ve been granted to spend with you. I have x number of years to ask you every question on my heart; to know you like the back of my hand and to have you know me. I have only so many days to spend on adventures with you; fun, difficult, and even average every day adventures. I have only so many hours to admire the blue of your eyes and the way your eyes crinkle when you smile. I’ll take every moment I’m given to press my lips against yours, expressing my adoration, affection, and attraction for you. I’ll watch you grow and my heart will be warmed, seeing how each step we take together is part of forever. The day we are wed won’t be forever, just the technical beginning. The truth is, we’ve already embarked on forever, and it’s not a destination. It’s a journey. My partner, my role model, my love, thank you for sharing in forever with me. I can’t think of anyone more perfect for the ride.
