A Letter to My Future Husband

08/26/2020

My Love,

Loving you sometimes is like loving a cliff overlooking the sea.

The view is coveted by many others who settle with loving the sands of the shore

instead.

It is a difficult climb up the craggy hilltop,

But, my Love, I would make that journey for you every day.

Others have tried--

Even to the point of breaking off pieces of your wall,

But my heart belongs to you--

Whether that means my hands should be ripped and torn by the edges of your

cliff,

Or I should make the steady journey into the depth of the hills to reach you.

I would not change you, my Love.

The reward of knowing you in the depths of your soul is as one looking out over

the sea.

I have held onto the ragged edges of your cliff;

I have cried on many of the ledges and felt like leaving for the soft shores below

in moments of despair,

But my feet are fixed upon your wall.

I have not touched the shore, for it is not my true love.

I can see the waters, and they are much more beautiful than I ever imagined.
