Dear Love,

Valentine’s Day is a celebration of affection and today we celebrate us. I am so grateful for you and for being able to spend this day with the person I love most in the world. There is so much that I love about you and I am so lucky to have you in my life. You are the reason I smile every single day.

I love your smile. You have a smile that lights up every room you enter. It makes your eyes sparkle and everyone else in the room disappears. There is nothing better than to see that beautiful smile. Your laugh is another one of my favorite things about you. It’s like music to my ears; nothing brings me out of a bad mood better than your laugh. I love that you know exactly how to brighten my day whenever things get rough. It brings me so much joy to say that I’ve found my best friend and the love of my life all in one person. No one knows me better than you do. I love that we are able to sit in a room together and not feel like we have to be doing something. I love that we are comfortable enough with each other and our relationship where we can talk about anything and everything. I love that we can watch TikToks and laugh together. I just love everything about you. 

I never thought I would experience the type of connection that you see in movies, but you have brought me the joy of having that. Loving you comes naturally and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. We are the luckiest people in the world to have something so special. You make me beyond happy and I do not know what I would do without you in my life. You are my better half. I have loved all of our past adventures and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Loving you makes me better in so many different ways. I’m so grateful for every memory we have made together and I can’t wait to make so many more. 

Yours truly, 

Katie
