To the love of my life,

It would be forever my deepest regret and sorrow that you do not have my eyes—and how it shines with glimmer and longing whenever it casts upon itself to you. You will never know how it warms with tears whenever you smile at me or how it throbs when you tightly hold my fingers with such tiny, delicate hands.

I would forever mourn that you do not have my heart—and how it tightens with adoration and worry whenever you grow up just a little. You will never know how I burst into happiness whenever you walk into the room or how it would feel empty everytime you go to school.

What great misfortune it is that you do not have my brain—and how it is filled to the brim with countless memories of you. You will never know how it is stored with precious moments from your first cry to your first steps and even to your first words, these are movie scenes that play in my mind on repeat.

It is a tragedy that you do not see what my eyes do or feel how much I really love you or know how often I think of you. That is why right here and now, as I stand in the doorway watching you concentrate on your homework as the sunlight ever so gently shines upon you like the angel you are, I will make a pledge, a vow.

I will make it my life's mission to exist solely for you, and although you will never fully grasp the extent of my immeasurable love, I will make it so that you see, you feel, and you know that I do.
