Love is like wine: with time, it only improves,
becomes more flavorful and valuable.
Loving you gets easier each day, because time is on my side.
I’ve had time to know your flaws,
to hate each one with fervor,
and then accept them,
and today, even love them.
I’ve had time to discover your fears,
and I learned to embrace you, to care for you,
to be more than a wife: to be a home.
I’ve had time to discover your quirks, the ones you don’t even notice,
and laugh at each one.
I’ve had time to discover myself with you,
and to love myself through your eyes.
Loving you gets easier each day, because I don’t just love your virtues,
I love you as a whole,
and for all my life.
