Dear Darling
I want to read when I grow older. So many adults don’t read anymore.
We’ll read together, right? So we never stop?
We can switch off paragraphs.
We can cuddle.
And then, when it gets really late, maybe I’ll fall asleep in your lap. And we’ll wake up in the morning, and start reading again. (:

Dear Darling
I would really like to serve you. It’s not the usual way people think of love. But oh, I will love you so much. What better way to show you? I want to serve you, and obey you. You know much more than me, I bet. I bet you’re much more wise. Teach me, and I will follow. And when I don’t…(it will happen)…will you bring me back? With love? Will you be patient and kind and...

Dear Darling
Lead me in Bible study. Teach me the things I never learned.
And can I sit back and watch you teach our children, too? Will you do that? They will love you.
I’ll help you. But I’ll love watching you. (:

We must go skinny dipping.
Dear Darling
I want to have marvelous times together. I want to do so many things with you. It’s wonderful because I will only have you one day. No other boys can every bother me anymore. This is what I’m saving myself for. One day, I’ll be glad I never gave myself away.
I love you.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world,that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” I know you can never give me love like this. I only want you to try.
and I promise I will too. I promise that. But we are both sinners, and we always will be on this side of heaven.
and yet we still have God on our side.
Dear Darling
Will you stay up at night and read books with me? We can read the same book. or different books. and every once and a while we can peek up from the pages and stare at each other and wonder “how did i end up with you?”. and then we’ll read to each other because we just can’t stand not talking.
Can we?
Dear Darling
have i met you yet?
you can’t answer me.
Dear Darling
I read books and I meet characters that each have something very special about them. Sometimes I want to put all the greatest traits together and make a you.
You won’t be perfect, though…I know that. But I think you’re the closest I’ll ever get.
Dear Darling
write me letters.
and i’ll write you.
Dear Darling

Dear Darling
“He made her laugh harder than she had ever laughed before. He made her feel like she could be herself. He made her feel like she wasn’t just a strange little girl. He made her feel beautiful and strong. And that’s when she realized that she was in love with him.”
Dear Darling
“But it was a lovely thought, wasn’t it? To wake up every morning with someone to say good morning to. To make blueberry pancakes and coffee for two. To kiss goodbye before going to work. To take walks in the rain, wearing matching wedding rings. To have a beautiful wedding and an even more beautiful marriage. Yes, that sounded very lovely. She wanted it. As long as she was with him, she...

Dear Darling
don’t let the world’s concept of love discourage you. use Christ as your example of love. one day you’re going to be teaching me how to love.
Dear Darling
i hope you exist.
Dear Darling
