Trust.

                              I don't appreciate you enough.

I am quick to look past the obvious and into the "need-to's"....... we need to work on this, change that, be this.
But I undervalue the steadfastness of who you are to me. When you said “I do”, how you meant it with all your heart. When you say I love you, those words are backed by actions. There is a underlying foundation, three years in the making, called trust.
I don't appreciate it enough.
But trust means that you've seen how I don't like to do the dishes and spend way to much time doing pointless things and I sometimes yell at our daughter and my appearance is flawed, and you don't run.
It's the beauty of reaching my lowest and the vulnerability to reveal my highest and how fragile you know both are. You never drop them.
It's being able to look at you and say "wanna know something silly..." and the comfort like an enveloping blanket of hearing you laugh with no judgment or suspicions of thinking I'm dumb.
The moments when I have wanted to give up and the moments when I thought this doesn't work and the moments when I was so unsure. These are overlapped by the moments when we are in our comfy's making nachos in our kitchen, and as you lean across for cheese you sneak a kiss.
You are a man of integrity, that is doing what you said you would do,  you are a man following the vow's you made when you said you would stick around, for better or worse. I tune it out sometimes, but it resounds off the walls of our relationship.
It's that glimmer in your eye. sometimes it fades to the background, but now I know it's not because you love me less at that moment but because you struggle like me.
you are like me.
and I am like you.
and we are one.
and it is because of trust. This thread woven in and out, sometimes visible but most the time unnoticed.
this is what I have with you.
