just so you know.

i hope you never have to feel like you aren't good enough anymore. i hope you never ever feel like you aren't smart enough, or funny enough, or don't say the right thing at exactly the right time. i hope you never feel like you aren't tall enough, or tan enough, or talented enough. i hope you never feel like you aren't rich enough, or handsome enough, or nice enough. i hope you never fall asleep scared or lonely or feeling out of place. i hope you never have to feel left out, or like you aren't wanted. from now on, i hope you never feel like i'm not on your side. or like no one's there to encourage you or love you, or be there for you. i hope you never feel like you aren't appreciated or you aren't understood. all those nights that you spent alone with your thoughts of trying to figure out what you did wrong, or what you did to deserve what you were going through, i hope you never feel like that again either. i hope you never feel inadequate or not special enough or just simply not enough. i hope you never try to change who you were made to me, and i hope you never doubt who you are. i hope that you never have to feel like it's all your fault again, or that your good just isn't good enough. i hope that you never sit in class and wonder what you could do differently to look better or be like him. i hope you never ever ever even think that you aren't the first thing i think about when i wake up, and the last thing on my mind when i go to sleep...

i hope you always know that i love you. i love every single thing about you, and i love you exactly the way you are. i loved you yesterday, i love you like crazy today, and if there's one thing i'm sure of, i'll love you tomorrow. and for a long time to come.

and so, for all of those times when you've felt like you just weren't good enough, i hope you know how absolutely perfect i think you really are. i hope you know how much i respect you and look up to you, and how much i love learning from you. i hope you know that you are the most incredible man i've ever met in my life, and, just for the record, that you are more than good enough for me, my love. <3
