my fiance and i have been together for six years, and about a year ago, he joined the navy. ever since then, the two of us have stayed strong through all the distance the military has put us through. mike just received his orders the other day, sending him off to virginia in decemeber and who knows where in march. we only have a few more months to spend time together, and we already live 6 hours apart. everyday, mike had asked for pictures of me. i always put it off, saying i was too tired or i had homework and would usually forget. just yesterday, i finally asked him: “why do you ask for a picture of me everyday?” the response i received was possibly the sweetest thing i’ve ever heard.
“i wish i could see you everyday as you change. i want to see you be yourself. i just love you so much and it breaks my heart that i am not there. i don’t want anything to happen to us. i am going to be gone for a long time…i want to see you as much as i can before i leave. i want to remember every detail about you and why i love you so much. i even look at your facebook often when you take a long time to respond to my texts. i just miss you more than you could believe. you are worth every thought, hug, and kiss.”
michael p. morgan, i’m marrying you. i don’t care what the world says or what day it is or what the weather is like. i just want to share your last name and have a kid or two. maybe drink tea in the mornings and watch mythbusters and dirty jobs together if they still run on tv when we’re 104. you’re the only man in the world i could picture myself spending my entire life with.
i love you. <3
