I remember the first time I saw you. You're the type of women whose beauty doesn't impose its self. While everyone around you is desperately trying look a certain way and stand out by following trends you just trust your femininity. That day you taught me something important about myself. You taught me that as much as I might seek out beauty, what I really am after is what beauty evokes in me.

You're smart and not just book smart. You have plenty of common sense and you're always eager to learn something new. You pride yourself on being an independent thinker and don't just accept an opinion because someone famous said it real loud. This confidence in your knowledge allows you to go about sharing what you know with others in a way that it inspires and enables them without making them feel irrelevant or foolish for asking.

Of course being intelligent doesn't mean you aren't intuitive. I'm not sure if I've ever known a person who feels as deeply as you do. When you're happy you're happy. If you're sad you're sad. When you're angry it isn't hidden. In the past I think guys have shied away from you because of your willingness to experience the full range and intensity of your emotions. They thought you were a hassle. But we know better. Your willingness to feel your emotions is an opportunity for growth.

We both understand that if you put on a happy face and suppressed what you were feeling that wouldn't make you a perfect women; it would make you a phony one. The truth is that you prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when you feel like you aren't becoming a better version of yourself. You know despite what others may say, you can always feel more and I'm glad to have that type of person in my life.

You and I laugh a lot. Thinking about it now I imagine it probably annoys people. Oh well, they'll get over it. When I'm with you everything else seems to fall away. You keep me very present. Whatever may have been on my mind is overwhelmed with what I'm experiencing with you right here and now. Even the most mundane things like taking a walk or making dinner have a level of intimacy to them that I can't say I've felt with anyone else. It's nice that at the end of the day you and I can simply be present with each other and not let any nonsense from the rest of the world bother us.

I admire how driven you are. I can't help but be proud when I watch you go after your goals. We're both similar that way although in watching you I've picked up on something a little more. When you go after something there are these moments where you seem to be overtaken by something greater then yourself. Whether you want to call it destiny or fate or something else you seem to genuinely let go and be taken in directions that you wouldn't be able to reach otherwise. Seeing that kind of stuff pushes me.

One thing is for sure. Nobody can deny that you're fun. No matter how stressed out I get, you're right there encouraging me because you believe in me. Because of all of this, I wake every morning wanting and working to be an even better man than I am already.
