Happy Birthday My Love đź’—
happy birthday, my love đź’Ś
i don’t even know where to begin, because every time i try to put into words how much you mean to me, i feel like i fall short. but i’ll try, because you deserve every word, every effort, every ounce of love i can give you.
today is your birthday, and while that alone makes it one of the most special days to me, the truth is, every day with you feels like something i should celebrate. because you’re not just the girl i love, you’re the girl who has been there for me through every storm, every broken piece of myself, every silence i couldn’t explain. you’ve held me in ways no one else ever could, and sometimes i wonder what i did to deserve someone like you.
there are nights when i lie awake just thinking about you, thinking about how, without you, i don’t know where i would be. i think about the moments when you’ve stayed by my side even when i gave you every reason to walk away. and that’s what breaks me a little inside, because i know how rare it is to find a love like this, and it scares me to death to imagine ever losing it. losing you.
i’m not perfect. i’ve made mistakes, i’ve had my flaws, and i know there are days when i don’t show you enough of what you truly deserve. but please, my love, please know that no matter how clumsy my words are, no matter how quiet i sometimes become, my heart has always belonged to you. and it always will.
if i could give you the world, i would. if i could take away every pain, every tear, every fear you’ve ever felt, i would do it in a heartbeat. i wish i could give you every star in the sky, every flower in bloom, every reason to smile and never doubt how loved you are. but all i really have to give is myself, my love, my loyalty, my heart that beats a little faster every time i think of you.
and maybe that’s what makes today so bittersweet for me. because i look at you, and i see someone who deserves every happiness in the world. and i know i can’t promise to shield you from everything, i know i can’t stop the bad days from coming. but what i can promise, what i swear with everything i am, is that you will never face any of it alone. not as long as i’m here.
so happy birthday, baby. happy birthday to the one who makes my world feel less heavy, the one who makes me believe in love even when i lose faith in everything else. happy birthday to the girl who has my whole heart, even the broken pieces, and who somehow still loves me anyway.
you are my greatest blessing, my safe place, my forever. i love you more than words, more than time, more than anything. and i hope, more than anything else, that when you read this, you feel even a fraction of how deeply, endlessly, and painfully i love you.
always yours. always. ❤️
