This is not a love of sudden sparks, or hearts too quick to race. It is the love that learned the dark and still chose to stay.

A love that listened, waited, and grew through seasons sharp and kind. Two lives once whole, now turning toward a shared and steadier time.

It is laughter softened by knowing, and trust earned by line. A hand to hold when the world is loud, a home in quiet minds.

Not perfect, not promised ease, but faithful, strong, and true. A love made deeper by the years, and richer because with time and dedication it grew.
