You've been there for me when I was down...
when I've been joyous...
 when I've been afraid...
 when I've been excited...
 when I've been sick...
when I've been worried...
 you've tolerated me through so many events and emotions...
 you've shown me caring...
 you've given me your understanding...
 you've given me love...
 you've shown me tenderness...
 you've offered me compasssion...
 you've given me much consideration...
 you've shown so much patience...
 you've demonstrated your support...
 you've shown me sweet affection...
in so many wonderful ways you've shown me how you care...
the gentleness in your voice...
the happiness in your laugh...
the little things you do...
you know how to pick me up when I'm down...
or how to make me giggle...
and even make me blush...
you know how to make me feel so very special...
it's always so nice to spend time with you...
your presence is so soothing to me...
the time with you so special...
I could never begin to repay you for all that you have done for me...
you fill my heart...
you soothe my soul...
you calm my stressed nerves...
you caress my emotions...
you encompass my being...
you are my friend...
you are my joy...
you are the world to me...
you are always in my heart...
you are always in my mind...
you are always in my thoughts...
you are so very special to me...
thank you for everything that you are and everything that you do...

I love you...
