My Valentine Promise

This is what was written in the card I got for my Valentine, for my fiance, J.

My Valentine Promise

Despite any obstacles that come our way and all the many
differences we've shared, I find myself loving you more with time.

I love you when our moods vary

and when our opinions go in
opposite directions.

I love you when your ideas aren't quite the same as mine
and our beliefs clash. I love you when you take a stand on what you feel is
absolutely right, even if I don't feel the same way.

I even love you when you're tired and grumpy and don't
want much to do with me at that moment.

What I'm trying to say is that I love you no matter what,
even as we struggle to be our own individuals.

It doesn't matter how different we may be.

As I've spent more and more time by your side, I've
learned that I love you most of all because you are different from me and can express it.

I love you for what you believe, for the emotions you
feel, and for your ideas that help me open my own mind to possibilities I
haven't yet explored.
