You are the best of all
possible companions.
I love you dearly because
you accept me for what I
am, not for what you need
or want of me.

You are the first person
in my life who has loved me
for me alone.

With you I'm not locked
into a role; I'm free to
change, to explore and
to grow.

You have shown me by
your love that I am a person
of value, and you expect
from me all that I am capable
of accomplishing.

Thank you for being my
friend, my love.
Thank you for insisting that
I be all that I can.
Thank you for loving me enough
to make it all worth it.
