I love you with everything I am everything Ive been and everything I hope to be. I love you with my past and I love you for my future. I love you for the children well have and for the years well have together. I love you for every one of my smiles and even more for every one of your smiles.

How could he convey to someone whod never even met her the way she always smelled like rain or how his stomach knotted up every time he saw her shake loose her hair from its braid How could he describe how it felt when she finished his sentences turnec the mug they were sharing so that her mouth landed where his had been How did he explain the way they could be in a locker room or underwater or in the piney woods of Maine bus as long as Em was with him he was at home

Do I love you because youre beautiful or are you beautiful because I love you

There is nothing on earth more beautiful to me than your smile...no sound sweeter than your laughter...no pleasure greater than holding you in my arms. I realized today that I could never live without you stubborn little hellion that you are. In this life and the next youre my only hope of happiness.
