Seems like just yesterday that I was walking in the street by the pool and saw you coming towards me on your bike. We had not really spoken to each other at that point, just traded shy smiles and hellos. I remember hoping I could get you to smile that day.
You did, and then after you passed me, I turned around to look at you and you had turned around to look at me. You got nervous when you saw me turn. You wobbled on the bike and I was afraid you might fall over, but you got yourself straightened out. I turned around to continue my walk, thinking ‘He knows, he knows! He feels it too! Yay!’
That was the first moment I truly let myself believe that we would be a couple someday.
Since then we have had many great adventures, usually full of laughter and magic. Of course there have to be stormy days, and lonely nights as well, but I truly believe that our bond is stronger than ever before, in spite of the storms, or maybe even because of them. We have learned to appreciate each other more than in earlier years. And like any couple, we believe that we invented love, that no one else in the whole world has our type of magic.
That magic has grown even though we are so far apart right now, with you in the little blue house and me in the big white one. We have our special days to celebrate each other, and we make new special days just for fun because a love like ours should not be acknowledged just once a year, in a tidy box on the calendar.
We are not box people, We follow our own star. And even though right now I have just one functioning wing, I would fly with you to the moon and beyond if you asked me to.
I love you more than you will ever believe. You are my soul. Thank you for the past 17 years and thank you in advance for the next 17!
Besos besos!!
