For My Hubby

Dear Hubby,

In less than a week, we'd be each other's, forever and ever. Does that thought scare you a little bit?

Honestly speaking, it freaks me out some times. You know why?

For years I've put on masks for the world. One for the family, one for friends, one for colleagues, one for my superiors and one for strangers. They've seen one version or the other of me.

For some, I have been a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend, a neighbor or just a random person walking past. But for you, I'll have to be me. Each and every version of me compressed into one big package of loud, moody, volatile, hot mess.

Some times I wonder, will you be able to handle me? Will you have enough patience? How long will you look past my mistakes? Would you ever lose interest in me? Would you ever stop caring? Would our love be enough?

But it has to be, isn't it? There's no way out now, is there? Ha! Scared yet?

A life partner is your equal. [S]he becomes one half of the whole. Everyone else comes and goes, but your partner is supposed to stick with you till the end.

I may put on an act to be perfect for everyone-a perfect daughter, a perfect daughter-in-law, a perfect sister, a perfect mother but for you, I'd never pretend to be a perfect wife.

I'd have my ups and downs. You'd see me at my lowest and my highest. I'd smile dashingly for the cameras and the family but for you, I won't fake a smile. I'd laugh like a donkey and barf like a monkey. I'd take my frustration out in the room. I'd wet your shirt crying countless times. I'd watch movies that might make you want to kill yourself. I'd sleep with my mouth open, wake up with groggy eyes. You'd see my unwaxed body and bear with my morning breath. There will be all this and more.

I won't ever be perfect because I can never be. I'd be entirely yours, for better or for worse. And you'll give me back the same if not more.

We're two cogs of the same machinery. “To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.” And this miracle is called a relationship.

Sweetheart, I'll quote Nicholas Sparks for he might do justice to what I've been trying to tell you all along.  “It's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.”


I'd love everyone with all my heart. But for you, there'd always be more. You'd always get a bigger piece of cake. Possibly, even bigger than for our kids. Because you'd give me that family. You'd give me what's left. You'd stick with me till the end.

I'd devote myself to everyone but not you. I'd be your queen! I'll own you. Just like you'll own me. We'd be imperfect together. Share our strengths and weaknesses.

Dear hubby, fasten your seatbelt for the wildest ride of your life, yet!

Love forever! 3:D
