My truth.

Baby… I've told you before, my goal is to be the best at loving you.

Nothing has changed that.
Nothing ever will change that.

But every once in a great while,
it may take a tiny bit of adjustment.

It's happened before.
It'll happen again.

Nothing big.
Not throwing parts of myself away.
Been there, done that, would not recommend.
And will not repeat.

Just… little tweaks.
Little improvements of my understanding.
Twist a few knobs here.
Flip a switch or two there.

And always making me not only better at loving you–
But better.
Period.

Because what I realized, ages ago…
Is that what you need,
what you deserve

is the best human.

And I may never quite reach that goal.
But damn if I can't try.

And I won't ever stop trying.

And that, my dear, is one of the two things I can absolutely promise you, always, for all time:

I will always love you, no matter what.

And I will never stop trying to be the best I can for you.
No matter what.

So go ahead, baby.

Throw me curveballs.
Paint me deep green.
Challenge me.
Bring me to my knees, if you feel you've gotta.

And then find out what it's like to be fully loved
for everything that you are.

Because you are, babe.

Even when it's hard, even when it's a challenge.

I wasn't ever in this because it was easy.

You know this.
You have to by this point.

All this is to say:

I love you.
I've loved you for a very long time.
I love everything about you.
I love the things I know.
I love the things I haven't found out yet.

I. Just. Freakin'. Love. You.

And when it feels the world is crashing down around your feet.

Babe.

*Come now running headlong into my arms."

It's the truest thing I can ever say
every time that I say
that I am

Yours.

PS–You know green's my favorite color anyways…
