Plastic roses and mugs are probably society’s way of convincing us that that’s how love and affection is shown. Here’s the thing, I’m still finding my way in life and I can’t afford to do such things but that doesn’t mean that I love you any less. Every day, I think of the life we share and everyday I’m convinced that you still are the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Like any other person, I dream of buying you expensive gifts and taking you on exotic holidays, but that will happen when it’s bound to happen.

It wasn’t by mistake that we met and fell in love. A mistake is something that was never meant to happen. You and I are meant to be because I have reached a point in my life where I don’t even want to imagine what it’s like being without you. I’m so used to a world with you in it that I don’t want to live in a world without you.

They say love is a weakness of all fools. Yet I’m OK with being a fool if that means feeling like this for the rest of my days.

There will be days I will forget to love you the way you want to be loved. There will be situations where I’m forced to make decisions that will change our lives. But, do not ever doubt my intentions. They say you don’t know what love is until you’ve loved and lost it. I’ve lost so much before but I’m not willing to lose you.

Every time I think of the things we’ve been through and still go through, I pray so hard for God to give us strength and make me strong enough for both of us. There have been times I almost thought of giving up on us but my heart wouldn’t let me. Knowing how much we love each other is good enough reason for us to keep on fighting.

I might not be able to do everything your heart desires but I’ll never forget to love you. You have become a part of me.

Valentines is one out of many days that I promised to love you unconditionally. At times I look at our current lifestyle and I wonder if wanting more out of life wouldn’t change us. My worst fear is us succeeding in life while our love for one another decreases. I know it’s insane but truth is I don’t ever want to lose what we have. I love you my everyday valentine.
