When you’re in a bad mood, I love you. When I’m in a bad mood, I love you. When I don’t understand why you’re acting a particular way, I love you. When you hardly notice I’m here, I love you. Plainly and simply, I love you.

I’m really trying to say so much more than those three little words. I’m trying to say you mean more to me than anyone else in the world. I’m trying to let you know that I’m mad about you and that I treasure the time we spend together. I’m trying to explain that I want you and that I need you and that I get lost in wonderful thoughts every time I think about you. And each time I say I love you, I’m trying to remind you that you’re the best thing that has ever happened to me.

No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater. The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that’s the key. It’s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.

All relationships start with happiness and excitement and feelings that make you feel like you are on top of the world. I remember when everything between us was spine tingling and wet palms and making out and you gave me butterflies and I made you want to spend the night enjoying each other.
And of course, so they say, life can’t go on that way. You can’t be madly, passionately in love forever. So that love changes, it morphs.
It becomes the mundane. What we have now. The kisses hello and goodbye, the compulsory “I love you”, the lack of sexual excitement, affection but no desire. But is this right? It doesn’t have to be. I know it doesn’t. Let’s do something about this.

I always go back to the memories of former years, the times that we spent together when we had just met. You put a smile on my face. You always have, that was the first thing that I fell in love with. Even after all these years, you continue to be my one and only, that says something. I am lucky to have the true love of my life by my side.
