This wasn’t supposed to happen. I was broken when you came into my life. That’s the funny thing about love. It has a way of showing up when you least expect it.

You loved me from the beginning. I was incapable of loving you in return. You wouldn’t accept that. Despite attempts to push you away, you made your presence known. I’m too exhausted to continue to fight. 

Your actions speak without words. I consider your needs before my own. Honestly, I need you more than you need me. I’m a better woman with you in my life. I love how you make me feel. I find myself making plans for a future that I didn’t know existed two months ago.

Your presence saved me. I’m forever indebted to you.
