a touch
an invitation
a warm embrace
a concrete gesture
a kind word
a letter
a gift

a note
a call
you
and
me

I love that you
don’t wait
for a
special
occasion
to show your
tenderness and affection
you are generous with your time 
you give of yourself without restraint
your smile and laughter are contagious
you’re always thoughtful and considerate
you’re truly genuine and kindhearted
Thank you for the lovely bouquet
I lucked out when I married you, my darling, I love you
