My dearest Patrick,

Today I realized that I love you more than ever.

I love you more than I love my morning coffee, strong and bold, my love erupting like a hot burst of flames engulfing my inner core.

I love you more than I love my books, your wit a revelation every single time, my mind a garble of words I am unable to speak and comprehend.

I love you more than I love my bed and sheets, your affection keeping me warm during the coldest and loneliest nights.

I love you more than I love my pen and paper, our memories writing their own unique story.

I love you more than life itself, overwhelmingly happy and sad, all at once.

My love, you are my heart and my soul.

Without you, I am lost.


Yours,

Anj.

The Greatest Gift

To the one I admire for the passion and determination to succeed,

who makes me laugh and cry, sometimes both at the same time,

who finds the funny in the mundane, whose laugh is fuel to my day,

who I'm thankful for for bringing light into my life,

who I love fully, completely, and wholeheartedly,

Happy birthday Patrick, my love, my partner, my best friend.  I will always be grateful to my stars for the unbelievable luck of knowing you. You are my inspiration and the love of my life. I will always be proud to be your girl. I love you so much.

I know it’s your birthday but I guess I’m the one who got a gift--- you in my life for another year.

Yours,

Anj :)
