My Husband.

I think of you often, in times of great happiness or deep regret. I long to share these moments with you, wrapped in the security I know only you will give me. I wish I could say I knew you, but instead I’ll write this letter to you. Adressed as this; my love and my life.

To the movies I see, wondering if any are your favourite The life I’ve lived seems to be standing so tall, Or the books ive yet to read that you adore But I know, in about three years time, I’ll be sharing it all.

I know you see a vision splendid, of the skylines light extended and at night the wondrous glory of ever lasting stars. I know I see them too, and they connect us through the years that separate us and our due-to-be forming scars.

Most of all, I wonder if you ever think about me and the woman I shall be. Pass glistening windows stacked with clothes and wonder will I wear them? Pass by flowers and consider if I’ll love them, listen to bands and wonder if I’ll shove them. Maybe my robes aren’t what you’d expect, but I know you won’t condemn them.

But now I see my desk and I look to the future without the children we will have. I want to create, with and without you. So I’ll hold these dreams of grandeur, and free myself of your deep allure. Just to follow the path I create, through.

But in the nights that I can’t lay still, the dreams of our cabin give me will. I can feel your weight beside me and how your hug fits me like a glove. And I know our love infernal, it will forever remain eternal. I can’t wait to meet you, my life and my love.
