Happy Valentine’s Day! I am so incredibly grateful to be celebrating another year with you. You have no idea how much you mean to me. You are my rock, my anchor, the steady presence in my everyday life. You hold me close, I always feel supported and safe. At the same time, you open up your heart and allow me to support you, too, and that means the world to me.

I love your eagerness to go out and experience life—your adventurous spirit, your drive to make every moment special. It’s something I’ve been lucky enough to take after, and I cherish every new experience we share. Whether we’re exploring new places, trying new things, or simply lying next to each other, doing absolutely nothing, every second with you feels right.

You make my life brighter, fuller, and more beautiful. Your kindness, your laughter, the way your (small sexy) eyes light up when you talk about things you love—everything about you is irreplaceable. I wouldn’t trade what we have for anything in the world.

Through the highs and the lows, through every challenge and every triumph, I promise to always stand by you, just as you do for me. You and I—we’re a team, and I wouldn’t want to go through life with anyone else.

I know this Valentine’s isn’t about expensive gifts or fancy plans, but that’s what makes it even more special. Thank you for understanding that I’m broke—but I promise, we'll put the money to good use.

So, on this special day, and every day after, please know this: I love you. Always have, always will.

Forever yours,

Xavier
