Sixteen Years In

Can you believe that we've been together for sixteen years already?
I'd like to say that it's been sixteen years of wedded bliss, but you'd probably end up choking on your coffee and there would be no year seventeen. Plus there's that whole silly rule about being truthful and all...

Still though...

 
I love you.
There have been moments wherein I hated you.
You have inspired my passion and my rage like no one else on this earth.
You are my dreams, my reality, all that I ever wished to have.

I am your property, your slave, the being who always comes to rest on her knees at your feet.
We are the dream team of two, you and I.
You are my fantasies, you complete me and fill in the spaces in my soul that I never even knew could be whole.

You make me confront the darkness in my soul and accept myself as a whole.
You have seen me at my best, at my very worst, and every place in between
You have been willing to dance with my demons and offer me freedom in your possession.

For every moment in my life that has really and truly mattered, you have been there.
You have loved me when I wasn't worth loving, in times when I couldn't even love myself.
You know me in ways that no one on earth could ever comprehend or achieve.

You are amazing. I count myself as lucky and blessed to be yours. I am thankful every day that you are my life.

I am grateful. Thank you.

You are amazing. Life with you is amazing. The things you have done for me are amazing.

 Yours always, in all ways.
