To the One I Love

To the girl I fell in love with when we were both young and naive.

To the woman whom I have come to love deeply through the laughs, the fights, and the tears.

We were both in way over our heads. Our marriage and our love were far more real and raw than I could have ever imagined with my childish, romantic notions.

Thank you for loving me for whom I am with all my faults and quirks. Thank you for putting up with me and my cheesy humor, my overly-optimistic outlook, and my girly-man romantic heart.

I love you. Happy Valentine's Day, "Laopo"!
