Dear Lover

I Really Am Trying

By Paige DerksenPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Dear Lover,

You're so good to me.

You're so sweet and so kind,

So thoughtful and outwards with your efforts to be good to me.

It's almost too much.

Dear Lover,

I almost don't know how to react.

You're so new and so foreign to me,

In the way you hold the door open when we enter a building,

And in the way you ask before touching me somewhere new.

Dear Lover,

How could I possibly even begin to deserve you?

You listen to me,

And you hear what I say.

The smallest things you do for me are already more than I ever imagined I'd ever get

And much less something I ever imagined I deserved to have.

Dear Lover,

I hope you know I appreciate all you do,

And all that you are.

I want you to know I am trying,

And that I will do everything to make you happy.

Dear Lover,

I want you to know that I love you,

Even though I am no where near perfect,

Or able to express how I feel towards the things you do.

You are wonderful.

Dear Lover,

I really am trying,

And I will continue to try forever.

My sweetest lover,

I love you

And I love that you love me.
