For Phil,

If I could do anything in the world from this moment on, I would be happy for me and for you. For me, so that I may develop pride in my self. And for you, so that you may experience joy in each day in your life. Even when I am away or not with you.

To be truthful, there are days I don't stop to cherish our love. When I remember, I'm quickly saddened and try harder not to forget. When you are so far from me I cannot redeem myself. I can only try harder.

You are a gem. Other women see this too. I know that I am pretty, bright, and loving. This makes me unique. However, happiness can be borrowed and shifted. A smile goes farther than good looks.

And so, I hope you see that my eyes shine with delight in your company.
