Since I met you, my life has gotten better, I just want you to know. It was seeming pretty bleak there for a while; living alone, working that crappy job and being poor. Somehow you make those things seem so far away.
I think about you when I’m falling asleep and when I wake up.
I know you’ve had a rough time lately too and I want you to know how proud I am with how you’re dealing with things. I’m with you every step of the way.
The holidays are coming and though we’ll both be away, I’ll still feel you in my heart and be looking forward in anticipation of the moment we reunite.
I’m such a lucky guy.
I love you with all of my heart.

Gucky loves you too ofcourse, Shoe Man. She very much appreciates knowing that if she falls you will be there to catch her.
It is a funny feeling handing your heart over to someone and not being able to hold it close where no one is able to cause damage. But there is no one I would trust more with my heart than you. You are never poor if you have love in your life. Love is the richest present anyone can have and I give you all my love. I know you want more than anything to be able to take my worries away but just having you by my side helps more than you can know. Some things I just have to fix on my own but I know that I have your support and I am grateful. All I ask is that you have patience with me and I will give you the world when I’m better.
Merry Christmas babe.
Get a room, you two!
Very sweet though, even though it kind of makes me puke a little.
