A letter from May 23, 2025

Nige, I'm sitting on the couch and staring at the flowers you sent me. I'm thinking, I must have done something right along the way that He allowed me to meet you. Babe, I don't know what the future holds. I am not certain by the time you get this letter if we are still in touch. If we are still in love. But one thing I am certain of, I have never loved anyone as much as I love you. You made me realize that love isn't about feeling good or the euphoria, the butterflies, but rather they are about safety, grounded, and emotional maturity. I remember as we lay in your bed, we held each other in silence -- I felt safe and at peace. The love you taught me is the kind of love that isn't selfish. As I was staring at you that night, I knew that you deserved to be happy and be free. You are meant to be shared with the world, babe. Your beautiful soul and mind are not just for me, but for the world to see. I used to wonder how to be loved by you without your past relationship traumas. I was frustrated by how well we get along together, and yet I feel hesitation from you. You taught me that love is kind and patient. These scars and traumas made me love you deeper. You can be on your best or worst version of yourself, I know that I will love you no matter what. Together or not, it doesn't matter. As long as you are happy somewhere in this world, that's enough for me.. Take care, my love. Sam
