When we first began to date, it was hard not to feel like I was in the middle of the world's most romantic tale. I still feel that way, even now. From our world travels, getting lost, and always laughing together-- you are my partner in it all. Even on the hard days, on the days we press each other's buttons, on days I was sure you'd never come back, I always want to be here. I broke this summer, wide open, and I only tell you this to tell you that I would choose you every time, I would choose this life because I know it is meant to be ours. The hard times only soldify how I feel about you. Every hard time brings me closer to you. Every hard time challenges me, and makes me want you. Always. That will never change. You always joke that an old dog can't learn new tricks, but I see the ways you constantly improve yourself and work to be better. You inspire me in that way. I always want to be the best thing for you like you are absolutely the best thing for me. There has never, ever been a doubt in my mind that I wanted to work hard to be your person, to live up to the person I think you deserve and I will very happily spend the rest of my life doing just that.
Elizabeth Gilbert writes that our soul mates are supposed to break us and leave but I don't know that this is true. I don't know if I even believe in soul mates but I do believe in you. I believe you have broken me wide open, but you never left, you stayed. I will always stay here with you. Things got hard, but we made it. We broke, but we broke together, we grew together, and I firmly believe we are going to spend the rest of our lives doing just that. Happy birthday to the father of my child, the love of my life and my best friend. I wake up every day next to you and I get to know I am just where I am supposed to be. I stand next to you now, having been tested ten times over and willing to be tested a thousand more. I will never give up on you, you excite me, you make my life a beautiful place to be. I love you so much, Theo. I always will. Thank you for letting me on this journey with you. You are wonderful, kind, intelligent, charming, witty, and everything I could ever, ever want. Thank you for existing. I love you, again. I love you, always.
You, me and four of your closet mates.
