...Daddy.

I love you from the depths of my soul.

Love is...

...when you ache physically for him in his absence.

...when you listen to him sleep for hours, just because you don't want to close your eyes and lose a second.

...when you touch your belly, and think that even if your children are near grown, it's him you wish to have grow inside of you.

...when you can face the cruel truths, and still smile, that even though the confession was a hard blow, you were worthy of that confession to begin with.

...when you wake to the thought of them, spend your day with them on your mind, and drift to sleep with nothing but hope for dreams filled with them.

...when you can spend every waking hour in constant contact, and never grow tired of them.

...when they just say something, or do something silly, and you have to just laugh and tell them 'I love you so much'.

...when saying 'I love you' doesn't seem to be enough to explain what you feel for them mind, body, and soul.

...when you sit back in silence, and the sweetest softest smile curls your lips, remembering the most unimportant memory of the day, and it still filling you with emotions of wonder.

...when a simple disagreement can be too painful to bear. Knowing that if it was anyone else you'd shrug it off and roll your eyes.

...when the thought of them no longer being in your life, leaves you in a torrential downpour of tears.

...when you learn all the lessons, step out from the shadows of doubt, and put your past aside, because you know none of it matters anymore.

...when you want to be a better person, because the one you're with, supports you, and allows you to see the brightness of sunshine during a thunderstorm.

...when you can argue off and on for three years, and still fall more and more in love with every breath spent with them.

You are my breath, my sunshine, my everything. I used to know love. I used to feel it, I used to hurt by it. But I know, that no one shadows you. Even when separated for 2 years, I was yours. Lonely, and destitute, of all the men who showered me with affection, tenderness, and admiration, I wanted the man who broke my heart. Because he was the one I had no doubt about, when it came to how I felt about him.

The truest, most amazing blessing, was his return, and his acceptance, that all of the above, was exactly how he felt for me. Through all of our trials, all of our errs, our relationship, our emotion, our love never dulled. And now it continues to blossom at a pace that leaves me shaken, my breath stolen, every day. This is the love told about in all those fairy tales. All those stories where prince charming slayed dragons for his one true love. You slayed the demons surrounding me, and you conquered my heart for eternity.

Thank you for loving me, the same as I love you. Thank you for aching for me even in my absence. Thank you for proving to me that it was all worth it, for the lifetime we intend on spending together from this moment forth.

You are my God.
