Do you know how I love you?

I love you like I love my favorite book.
It may not be everyone’s favorite, not wonderful or perfect in everyone’s eyes.
There will always be critics and there will always be things that could’ve gone differently and things that could be changed.
But the reason it’s my favorite in the first place is because it is the way it is - despite everything about it that could be different.

I love you like that.
You’re not everyone’s favorite and not wonderful or perfect in everyone else’s eyes - including your own.
There are those who will critique you, who will want to change you, who will want to make you different and sometimes, even I’ll say that I want to.

But even so, no matter what changes are made and no matter how many times you’re tweaked, you’ll still be the most wonderful and most perfect for me and nothing can ever possibly change that.

I love your big cheeks and your soft tummy and your puffy hair.
It’s all part of what makes you my favorite and no matter what you dislike about yourself and no matter how many ways you could possibly change who you are, you will always be my favorite and I will always love you.

Without doubts. Without hesitations. Forever. I mean it :)
