Dear You,




Does absencemake the heart grow fonder? Maybe so. I wrote this I Love You letterwhile I was away from my sweetheart for a week. In it I share with mysweetheart some of the reasons I love her.
My Beloved Tammy,

I love you! Just writing that puts a smile on my face. You put a smile on myface.

I love you because of your sweetness, your kindness, your tenderness and yourthoughtfulness.

I love you because are you are my dear friend and loving companion. You smileat my silly jokes and enjoy my youthful spirit.

I love you because I have a longing to be close to you and you long to be closeto me. I love snuggling with you in front of a fire and cuddling with you as wewatch TV. I love to be near you. I love holding your hand on a walk during theday and holding your hands across the table at a restaurant at night.

I love you because you listen to me as I share the small triumphs or strugglesof the day.

I love you because in moments of friction between us, you hear me out. Evenwhen you don’t agree with me, you listen with a longing to understand me.

I love you because you respect me. You honor the man that I am, rather than tryto make me into someone I am not. You suffer my imperfections and myshortcomings largely without complaint.

I love you because you appreciate me. You enjoy my attentiveness and appreciatemy efforts to romance you. You appreciate my generosity to yourself and mygenerosity toward others.

I love you,

Daniel
