Dear David,

I want you to know that I love you. I know that you know that, but it bears repeating again and again... It deserves to be shouted at the top of a mountain and painted in the sky: I love you. Dearly, tearfully, breathlessly and completely. I love you when I wake up in the morning and I love you when I close my eyes at night and I love you for every moment in between.

Despite my mercurial moods, my love for you never falters. It changes, from a light playful love when I'm joyful to a deep painful love when I'm hurting... But I've never lost my love for you. I have doubted the love that I have... But just when I thought I've lost it, that love jumps out of hiding and tackles me to the ground.

I love you because of the way that you love me. I love you because you still love me when I sink into funks, and I love you because you're always waiting for me on the other side. I love you because you're accepting, caring, and devoted. I love you because I don't deserve you, and I love you because I'm the luckiest woman on the planet.

You are the single most important person in my life, and I will not let anything change that. I want you to carry my love for you wherever you go, so that I'll be with you even when we're apart. A part of you is always here with me; that's the only thing that keeps me going throughout these months of separation.

I love you.

A lot.

...I just wish that I had the words to describe it.

Have a good weekend, love.
