The best part of my day is waking up enveloped in the safety of your love. Tucked in the bed we share, in the home we built, as the first beams of sunbreak spread across the forest, and the pines turn golden, only for a few minutes.

The second-best part of my day is knowing that I’m safe, secure, loved, seen, heard, and understood. I get to have a beautiful past, present, and future with you by my side the whole way through. There’s nothing we haven’t done, nothing we can’t do. Everything is possible.

The third-best part of my day is existing with you in this beautiful forest we call home. The forest that each of us chose to end up in, by chance, at the same exact time in our travels. Year after year, inching closer to each other, learning separate life lessons, that would one day set us up for the fairytale life we’d each dreamed of.

The fourth-best part of my day is being able to be a child with you; A couple of goofy grown-up kids working their asses off for the life they’ve always wanted. Running a beautiful household together, harvesting a healthy garden, and taking care of all these fucking animals.

The fifth-best part of my day is coming home to you, my best friend, my favorite human, my trusted confidant. Coming home to a beautiful life we’ve chosen to build with, for, and around each other. Crawling into bed at the end of another day with each other, exactly where we belong.

Two strangers having dinner, to two lovers planning a future we once thought was too far-fetched to be possible. Meeting you was the best part of my Spring, falling in love with you was the best part of my Summer. Spending each day with you is the best part of my Forever.
