Still The One

Mr. Sparrow,

I love you, I love you, I love you. You are still, and always, the one for me…the only one for me. I listen to this song, and it makes me smile and cry at the same time, because it is about us. Us…what an honor to be half of that, and what a blessing that you are the other half.

Through the trials and triumphs, you have been the constant. Our permanent adoration for each other, always far outlasting our temporary anger at each other. Our love’s endurance catching it’s second wind just at the moment we thought we might quit. Our tears flowing on so many occasions but, more often than not, their source was joy…or pride…or the welcoming of one, two, three, four, five little Sparrows.

You are still the man of my dreams, I still find solace in your arms, a smile still finds my lips every time I see your face, my body still craves your touch and my skin still quivers underneath it, I still cherish our past…and I still can’t wait to grow old with you.

You’re still the one…Happy Valentine’s Day, Baby.
