Tomorrow...

When I go to sleep tonight, considering the excitement doesn’t keep me up, I’m going to wake up tomorrow to a day that will end with you. I can hardly wrap my head around that thought. There have been so many times over the last few weeks when the world seemed to be falling down around us. But, in the end, it was always us at the center, holding strong to one another, and to the hope for all the wonderful possibility we see in our shared future. Tomorrow is the day when we finally get to be together, to start the new chapter in our story, the first of many, I hope.

First, I will hold you, before anything else. I will wrap you up in my arms and we will, at least for a moment, leave the world behind. Then we’ll come home, nourish and cleanse our bodies, then nourish our souls with touches, kisses, sweet words, and countless beautiful dreams spread across days together. When the words won’t come, you will be able to touch me. When the tears begin to fall, I will be able to cuddle you close to my chest. You will hear my heart beating for the first time, and I will fall asleep to your breathing. It will be…perfect, no matter how it goes. I love you, my sweet girl. God, do I love you. I will be right here, now and always.
