An Open Letter to My 'Husband'

As you sit there tap tap tapping away at the computer, playing your game, I'm sitting on the bed, typing this to you.  You have no idea I'm doing it, which makes it all the more fun for me.  I look over at you and see you sitting there with no shirt on, a tattoo on your shoulder, long hair down past your neck and I can't help but notice how handsome you are, even from this angle.

I smile remembering that there are moments throughout my day when I think about you.  I'm sure I've been doing it all along, but really, lately, it's been hitting home.  Sometimes, you're at work, taking a drive or a walk, doing something around the house or the yard and all I can think about is you.  Not about where you are, what you're doing or who you might be with...just you.

Everyday, I know that when you drag out of bed and go to work at an hour that's even too early for a sane person, you will call and leave a message to tell me you love me.  You don't just leave me for the day and not look back until you're ready to come home - you keep me with you.  I know this, because throughout the day, I'll get a text message or a call telling me that you love me - even in moments when you don't have to

I remember the early days of us, the excitement, the long conversations, staying awake for hours on end just hating to hang up the phone.  Sometimes, I forget who I'm with and begin to long for those days  and sometimes, rarely, but sometimes, I let my guard down and wonder, 'Does he still love me'?  Then, in a moment, without saying a word, you remind me of all those moments ago with a single look, you say something a fraction of a second before I do or you touch my hand or wrap your arms around me at just the moment when I begin to wish you would. 

There's no wedding band on my finger saying that I'm your Wife, no document as proof...just you, your word, and all the things you do that tell me that we are One for Always...and just so you know, here and now, before God and everyone, I know you love only me, I know your faithful to me and I know without a doubt in my mind that you cherish what we have.

Your Wife in Faith, Trust & Absolute Devotion...
