Just A Thought

Dear You,

Tell her you love her. Every day. Every waking moment that you see her through your eyes. Every touch. Every feel of her hair. The clumps of these strands tell so much about her. How she feels for you. How she longs for you to feel her breath, her worries, and her joy.

Tell her you love her and don't deny it in front of her face. Don't deny it by simply choosing to be macho or too manly for her. Be too emotional for her if you must. Be affectionate. Tell it to her every day. Make her feel your warmth as if there's enough blanket to cover her shivering skin. There's enough heat to ease her chilling bones.

Tell her you love her and that you will never let her go. You will never let her have second thoughts if she does love you. Tell her that the three important words you utter: "I Love You," are not empty. They are not just words strung together to complete a simple phrase to make her feel special. These words are the only thing that she has from you. A promise that she grips so tightly. The only thing that gives her a sense of security and assurance that you do. That you really do.

Tell her you love her by sending her random notes on random days. Give her a treat to something simple. Because in the end, all that matters is that she's spending her time with you. Time, that she can't get back anymore. Time, that she, not for one-second thought was wasted. You are her moment. Every precious second with you is her anchor to her reality.

Tell her you love her and don't let her sacrifice anything just to make you happy. That you are both individuals ready to live your own lives, apart, at times. But when you are together, make her feel that she is the only thing in this infinite Universe. Make her feel that she is the moon orbiting your planet. Make her feel that you are there for every smart and stupid decision she makes. Because she will surely do this for you too.

Tell her you love her and that her voice is the only thing that calms you, that soothes your tired heart and your weary soul. Her voice might give you sudden jolts at times, but this is what makes her. What makes up that idea that you loved her in the first place. Her voice will guide you through a tunnel of sense when everything seems unclear and daunting. She will gather up all the strength from her core to get you through, she will surely do.

Tell her you love her by saying she is beautiful. She is beautiful no matter what she wears, no matter how her hair was done or even how ugly her eyebrows were accidentally shaped. She is beautiful through all the sweat and all the grime. After all, this is not the only thing she is made off. She is so much more. Her beauty will eventually fade, but her love for you will surely grow as the days, months, and years progresses.

Tell her you love her by not criticizing her with the amounts of calories she puts in. This is her, in certain moments. If she feels tired and wants a burger at 2 AM do not judge her for the things that might comfort her or at least ease her worries. If she feels like slobbering her face with french fries be with her. Never ever tell her that she is not in her best shape because she is doing everything she can to just cope with her situation. Her body does not define who she really is, look passed it. Be attracted to her even if she no longer has those perfect curves you used to adore. You are there to understand, to feel her, and to ease her way out of the negativity. To be the best version of herself all over again. Support her. Support her through this especially.

Tell her you love her by understanding her. By understanding her worries and faults. Her worries should not be dismissed, judged, or even left in the corner hanging. LISTEN TO HER. It is actually the best way of telling her that YOU DO LOVE HER. Her faults are what make her a woman, what makes her beautiful inside-out, and what makes her unique among all the other diamonds ready to be uncovered. She is unique and she is the only one who will love you as much as you can ever imagine.

Tell her you love her by not desiring anything from anyone else. She is there for you. See that truth. Every single day. A soul may pass to enlighten you or to distract you but remember in your mind and etched it in your heart that SHE IS THE ONLY ONE. She is the only one who will distract you or give you the most desirable of feelings. She will always be there, so, take the time to really see her.

Tell her you love her with every gesture. With every gesture of fetching or bringing her home. With the simple dates that are not needed to be planned. With every single effort that you can possibly muster in your existence. Because in the end, it does not matter to her if you buy her expensive gifts or if you even provide for her. Your presence and your actions say so much about where you want your relationship to go. Where you will take her through this journey. You are important to her and no amount of money or fame matters to her. YOU MATTER TO HER. YOU and ONLY YOU.

Tell her you love her by assuring her that her insecurities are not to be dismissed in plain sight. She feels small at times the same way that you do and even if she appears strong she is in dire need of your affection. Of your warm assuring hug. Of that simple hand you hold when crossing the street. Or that simple tug when you are introducing her to someone new. Her insecurities will remain with her for the longest time and you have to help her get passed them if she can't. If it seems like they are haunting her in every corner, be there for her, assure her that all she is thinking are just thoughts that she can eventually rid off. And you will always be there. Always.

Tell her you love her and be gentle to her. She is a peeled apple sensitive to every word you say. Do not expect her to take things lightly because, after all, she is a woman. Every word has a particular weight to her. Her experience is her teacher. You need to understand all her worries to know where she is really coming from. Choose the right words to say because she will always remember them especially when they came from you. She will always have a special part in her brain reserved only for you, for every good word and deed. But for every hurtful gesture remember: that she will always forgive you, always, that's why be gentle to her. With all your might.

Tell her you love her not because you are required to but because YOU REALLY DO. You love her and that no amount of shame or hesitations will cross your mind that you do.

She loves you and accepts you for who you are and who you were.

She can swallow everything you say as the truth, as her truth, and be with you no matter.

She can trust you for every bit of word or every action you do.

She will join you through a place where there is no beginning or end.

She will love you because there is so much inside of her that it can no longer be contained.

You are that receiver of such love.

A lucky receiver of that overflowing love.

So please, do tell her you love her.

Sincerely, 

Your Woman
