Happy birthday. You’re twenty six now and probably realizing how much closer to thirty you’re becoming. You’re recollecting the past of your achievements and fondest memories.

You are hard on yourself because you haven’t reached the milestones you imagined. You may not feel you have exceeded all of your goals, but you deserve to know how much you are admired for your strength and honesty. You are someone people can come to for anything. You are uniquely beautiful, intellectual, compassionate, funny, and talented. There is no one like you, who strikes a fire in me to push forward in my own life. You inspire me to spend time working towards my desires simply so I can share them with you. You are, undoubtedly, the most affectionate lover I will ever had been blessed to touch. Your skin is warm, soft, and sweet. Often times, I daydream about your wet and tender kisses. The silk of your curls caress my fingers as they wrap themselves like vine. The familiar touch of your hands is all I crave after the longest day. You are my peace, my reprieve, and my home. I can’t wait to begin a life beside you.

I love you.

Jasmine
