Dear Josh,

You have cared for me everyday for who I am. With you, I am experiencing happiness only few women come across. When I wake up next to you or know I will see you soon, I light up because I love it when you are there. That’s true of every place, every space and every time.

I’m no Shakespeare but I was moved to write this letter to you because I know how I feel. I feel like the luckiest woman in the entire world because I have you in my life. Life with you in it is, indeed, a gift. You have taught me to make every day count, leaving no room for regrets.

I admire your mental, physical and spiritual strength everyday.

When you hold me, lift me up, touch my waist or just slowly move your fingers across every curve of my body, not only do I feel the most protected and safe but I feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. When I have a stressful day, you’re always ready to rub my feet and hold me to let me know everything is going to be okay. Even when you’re stressed, you still put me first.

I love when your beautiful brown eyes can’t keep off of me. And you may think every Black guy has eyes like yours but your eyes are special. Your eyes are the most gorgeous and intense eyes I have ever seen! I love especially looking in your eyes when I lay my head in your lap. In that angle, the sun perfectly hits your beautiful brown eyes and they light up with a tint of gold. It’s intense. I can just swim in your eyes for hours and never do I feel I have wasted my day. But best of all you share a piece of your soul with me without fear that I’ll break it. The fact you trust me means the world to me.

I know with you I am always safe and in good hands. I’m appreciated.

But your attractiveness on the outside cannot hold a candle to your inner beauty. One of your greatest strengths is your compassion for others and devotion to me and your dreams.

I will always remember the summer day you ran more than 1 hour to see me, down and up hills, to work through things with me. You always look your sexiest when you’re sweating from all your hard work or hopping right out the shower with hot water dripping down your chiseled abs to conquer the day ahead. I just want to eat you up all over again.

And I know you work so hard and care how I feel because you want the best for me.

What I see in you that you don’t see in yourself is that you’re a loving,caring and absolutely incredible Superman day in and day out! You are the best man for me,whether you believe in yourself or not. No man has every went out his way for me like you do. No man has ever been with me through thick or thin or accept me at my most vulnerable self. Only you have been courageous enough to do so.

I never doubt you can do what you set out to do or doubt your ability to care for me because I already know God blessed you with all the strength and courage a man could ever need to be a great friend, leader, lover and more.

One of the most romantic things you ever did for me was when you put my pleasure before yours. Not only did we have a great conversation about the Easter bunny but you bathed me and made sure I felt comfortable and safe with you. Only a real man takes the time and puts in the effort to please his woman before pleasing his self. Being selfless is what I respect the most about you and made me realize you’re a real man not just some lost dude. You care whether I am hurt and you stand up for me, even with friends and family.

The wonderful things you do for me everyday always make me smile and feel good. You’re the only person in the world that makes me feel wonderful even when I am on my period, feel like crap and think I look crazy…you always point out my beauty and make me feel confident and positive.

The way you make me feel is unbelievable.

My favorite memory of the two of us is when I laughed about the fan taking long to turn on and you go ” Getting old, gotta warm up.” You have the best sense of humor ! And you know what?!?! Don’t ever change that great sense of humor or the kindness that rains from your soul.

The most pleasant surprise you gave me so far, was your tie. I wear it every night. A tie says much about a man,and trust me this tie says all the right things. There’s a S on your chest…and it’s not going anywhere. You’re amazing Superman and you motivate me everyday to be a better woman all the time. I can’t thank you enough. I am so grateful to have you in my life.

You said I never run away from you and I never will baby. Even when you might be moody at times, I understand. You’re doing what’s best for us and working hard to live out your dreams. God is in your favor.

I prayed for you. God sent me you so don’t ever think you’re not the best man for me or that you don’t matter. The stars were perfectly aligned for you to come and stay in my life. 🙂 And I am so grateful for your dedication, passion, feelings and emotions.

Thank you for being the wonderful man you are Joshua and so much more.
