To My Smile Keeper:

God has given me a precious gift in you. 

And, because you’re the one I love and care about, 

Now, more than ever, 

I want you to know 

The depth of that love. 

Not merely in words of endearment, 

But in ways 

That will really matter to you. 

Like in all the little acts and gestures 

That show you how much I really care. 

But, more than this, 

I want you to trust in my love for you, 

And for you to always know 

And can depend on 

That my loving arms will be 

Available to you, 

Anytime, for solace and refuge. 

And that you can rest assured 

That I will want, always, to try to satisfy 

Your deepest desires and needs. 

And yet, 

Most of all, 

I want to give to you 

My precious gift— 

The gift of time. 

The time I will dedicate to you 

So that I may be your 

Companion, comforter, guide and friend and lover.

And, give you my commitment 

That will always encourage or console you 

Especially when you are most in need. 

I want, simply, nothing but the best for you, 

And for you to always know 

You are loved, valued and cherished, 

Even when you may fall short 

Of my expectations, 

Or when, sometimes 

Our moods may get the better of us. 

And more importantly 

That you can trust me 

With your love. 

That I will not misuse or abuse it 

Knowing that our relationship 

Will flourish through 

All of the hard times, 

No matter what happens or comes our way. 

All in all, 

I am giving myself to you, 

Because I want you to feel 

Way down deep— 

That you are 

More nourished and more loved 

Than you could ever have dreamed. 

For nobody, my love, 

Will ever love you— 

Like I will. 

FROM THE ONE, 

WHO LOVES YOU.
