I have wanted to write you for quite awhile in the time of getting to know you Shane. I think I have spent hundreds of hours trying to figure out: “What does he want? What does he need? How can I make it happen?” The answers to these questions are so simple, yet I am just now figuring it out. This is my vow to you. To us.
Honesty: In my opinion, a very significant quality. If not, the most important thing to you, babe. I realize now that it is way better to be loved for the person you are. Honest people can say, do, and act the way they feel without fear of abandonment.
Genuine Desire: The want to be wanted. Sex is important to you and great things happen when your needs are met! Physically appreciating you is more than a compliment in your eyes.
Optimism: I’ll never forget after time spent in the fort I was in the Wal-Mart shopping for college, and you told me to stop texting you anything unless it wasn’t negative. It still continues in our relationship today, and I know that for you, only positive things will come from my mouth.
Physical Health: You may not admit it always, but I know you want to be proud of who your with! For as long as possible I want to stay physically attractive so that when we are old and nastT you get to tell our grandchildren what a hottie I was. This means: diet, exercise, vitamins, and anything to keep the mind stable.
Intelligence: Just kidding, everyone loves a dumb blonde, right? Being able to spend time with me and hold a conversation is important. I don’t think we will love travelling the world if it doesn’t stay interesting.
Independence: I know now you want someone who can take care of themselves. Sure, I can rely on you for a shoulder to cry on. But not everyday. We both know this is easier said than done for me but I’m going to give it my absolute all. I am aiming to reach goals to set up a great life for us!
Sense of humor: We laugh so much together. But I know now I need to learn to take a joke way more. You don’t take yourself so seriously, and it’s hot.
Thoughtful-ness: I hope making you feel special is my speciality. In my words and actions, I want you to know always, everything is going to be alright.

Now, I know it might be a little disappointing to read that I am now going to ask you for two things, but just hear me out. This needs to be taken seriously(no eye-rolling or “yeah right!”). And also, your patience. I blame myself for not possessing these qualities sooner. I will not lose you along with everything I admire about you.
Your fire.
Your dreams.
Your smell.
Your hugs and those eyes.
Our story.
The way I will never get sick of this.
The way your handwriting is always the same and so neat.
The way I see you in every little thing imaginable.
The confidence in your voice.
How many things you’ve intrduced me to.

Loving you is the most wonderful thing for me. I will never lose sight of you. I will never lose faith in us. You’ve had me since the beginning, but the odds have always been against us. Luckily, Shane Mulhern doesn’t lose.
Valentines

The woman of your dreams
The love of your life
Yours always
