You are my best friend as well as my lover,

and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most.

I treasure each side, just as I have treasured

our life together.

We fell in love, despite our differences,

and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created.

For me, love like that has only happened once,

and that's why every minute we spent together,

has been seared in my memory.

I'll never forget a single moment of it.

I finally understood what true love meant,

love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own,

no matter how painful the choices you face might be.

You are the answer to every prayer I've offered.

You are a song, a dream, a whisper,

and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.
