The Beauty Of Marriage

Two Letters For My Husband

Letter I

Dearest My Love,

The mere fact that I miss writing to my dearest husband thus this loving gesture.

In the first place, it is not easy to convey these words even in a piece of notebook. I wouldn’t even know if you’re going to read this or even click your inbox to open my highlighted message.

But hey, I am writing this with the thought of you regardless of being read or not, or simply being ignored. Among the three, whichever happens, I wouldn’t mind at all. But, or course, in my case as a wife, I would always prefer the positive assumption which is the first one.

It really scares me writing this note or even the thought of sending it without the assurance of being read or replied to. I was really outgrown by this feeling because at the back of my mind there’s always something that pushes me away from even just dropping you some lines.

Well, sending happy thoughts for my husband won’t hurt, anyway. Life must go on regardless of the situation. Writing is indeed a gateway to freedom. Or perhaps, it’s a freedom itself. So here I am writing for the love of it, for the love of my husband, encompassing all sadness and with sheer gratitude to life.

Here, just thankful and blessed we’re alive because there’s no such thing as line to heaven.

Yours truly,

Your Wife
 

Letter II

Dearest Beloved,

‘Regardless.” It’s a matter of maintaining a certain thing despite of an obvious situation.  In our case, I opted to maintain loving my husband regardless of everything.  It’s all about continuity of such devotion, or whatever you may call it.  Writing you a note even just through this is one of its manifestations and I am more than just happy to be able to do so.

Yeah, I am really happy, not even a word can fully grasp the meaning upon reading your reply.  And with that I am so thankful and honored.

I am just glad that I still have this feeling of happiness when being read by someone who holds a special place in my heart.  A very simple gesture from a long distance beloved simply means the world to me.

How are you?  I don’t know, perhaps it’s a wrong question or what.  But I’d like to know what you’ve been up to since it’s been a while.  Maybe this is really an inappropriate question to ask.  You can just ignore it, anyway.

With me, it’s still work, school, my crafts and poetry.  Lately, I was just excited that I was able to write poetry for children.  Though, some just needed further editing in order to come up with effective literary pieces. At least, for the meantime, I was able to conceptualize the story lines, revisions and other essential developments may be done later on.  I just felt lucky enough to have produced them in between jobs and all.

Missing so much this idea of being read by my Beloved… I miss your critical way of thinking.  I miss our discourses on random things and even on little ideas that come in a handy for the sake of enlightenment. Even your critical interrogations, they maybe too ‘bold’ to handle, but then, how else I’m going to get over it, coz, hey, it’s my husband’s – just simply precious moments.

I Love you, Dearest.

“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday.”
