This Little Note



I know that to love you is a treason against France. But not to love you is a treason against my heart.

~ Man in the Iron Mask


Writing you this love note while the rain pours and beats against the window pane has a way of warming the heart. It's begging to be cold outside and somehow typing notes for you always keeps the inside of me warm. I know you hate complicated words and big words so I'll try to keep this note for you simple. I love you and I just want you to know that the only dream that ever mattered has come true. In this life, I was loved by you.

As we grow older together, as we continue to change with age, there is one thing that will never change. . . I will always keep falling in love with you. And somehow like the way you sang Beyonce's Halo, it doesn't feel like falling. So here I am with no other intention other than to paint you your smile for today; telling you that you're the most beautiful woman in the world and that today in all the gloominess of the weather outside, you made it shine for me here.

They say that elephants can die of a broken heart. You are my heart and don't ever break it. I love you baby today, everyday, always.

PS. I know I'm a lamb so don't turn me into an elephant. With you, always

Love = You



As we grow older together, as we continue to change with age, there is one thing that will never change. . . I will always keep falling in love with you.

There is this story that happened many moons ago, of a lion and a lamb. It is said there are many of such stories in many lands. But this one comes from under the land of three moons, where it was more dark then light during the passing days.

The lion and lamb has come together after many trials and again that was another story to be told in another time. This story happened in the eleventh month of the year and they were happily going about their lives but the lion had recently taken to viewing the stars late into the night. Fascinated with the sky above and kept watch until the wee hours of the morning. And her hunting paid a dear price as she was late to rise. She was tired easily by the end of days but would still crawl out to look at the stars.

The lamb was at first oblivious to these changes and merely sat by her side to watch the stars and often rode around the den to his own delight. But one morning, he arose to find her tired and suffering from too little rest. The lamb baa-ed in worry and cuddled close to her. She was gently rising and the day was growing old. But she still rose and went out to hunt.

Hunted she did while the little lamb rested in the den. Filled with anxiety and worry, the lamb scribbled on the walls messages for the lion:

1) Get enough shut eye so that when I look into your eyes, they're so clear that the only thing I can see in them is me
2) Hunt with patience and it's only just a living so treasure all the small things matter more. Like your smile on a Friday
3) Today, I missed you so I carved your name with all the love I could find and still it doesn't explain how much you mean to me
4) Baby, I love you

With that, the lamb rested and ate his wheat while patiently waiting for his lion to return.

Perhaps this is not everyone's conventional story but this is a story of a lamb worried about his lion. He loves her very much with everything that he has and he only wants the best for her. So he writes this note, only for her; with just one message: I Love You.

PS. Bie, it is often said that we were given two hands to hold, two legs to walk, two eyes to see, two ears to listen, but why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find. I am lucky I found mine in you. Love you bie

Today..I write about You



If I asked you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet.
But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable,
known someone that could level you with her eyes. Feeling like God put an angel on Earth just for you, who could rescue you from the depths of Hell.
And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel.
To have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer.

~ Good Will Hunting

Today I write these words as your husband. I know it's not often that I write notes for you anymore. But every morning when I peek out from under the sheets, I write you my first "I Love You" of the day. Looking at you feeling uncomfortable today, it makes me uncomfortable about you too and I can not help but worry about you. I walk every moment today, with you. Always baby.

Just finished my lunch and wanted you to know that I did imagine you sitting by my side eating my food and I trying to eat yours. Looking back, it still amazes me how we got here. I feel lucky that everyday I wake up to the person I love most in the world. In so many quotes I have used in these writings for you, they always say the same thing; you never know love until you love that someone more than yourselves. You are important to me in so many more ways than I am important to myself. I just want to write this note today, telling you that I love you baby.

In the times that you are frustrated at work today, I hope you know you have my love wrapped around your heart and my thoughts holding your hand through today. I keep all these sweet thoughts to myself about you because you are simply the sweetest thing that I know. Perhaps these 2 days off at home is a good break, to miss you and know how much the times you are with me mean so much. So I'm going to be waiting for you here until you get home.

Love you baby and know that you are the only thing on my mind.

PS. Today is beautiful baby, because of you. You are beautiful, and you make my life so beautiful too.
