Dear FLOWER,

I am writing to you today from a thousand miles and more away from where you are. Far across space and time to let you know how much I deeply desire to be yours in this life.
I have been praying and waiting for the moment in history when our path will cross and our eyes will be locked into each other’s hearts until eternity begins. I have been waiting joyfully for the day I will finally be united with you for the journey of forever.
I am glad that you have found a home in my heart and that you have given me the privilege to see the world behind your eyes!

You are my forever companion, the beauty I want to hold, and the love I wish to behold.
You are my shining light from distant heaven full of beautiful stars.
I think about you every night and day because my heart roams your orbit until the end of time.

We have come a long way, and there is yet so much more to unfold in our journey of love.
The storms we have faced together gladdens my heart that we can overcome anything.
The mountains and the hills we have climbed together are the forces we need to rebel against the obstacles of tomorrow. You are my woman and my warrior in the battlefields of life. Each time I look into your eyes, I see a future of great triumph no matter how fierce the storms will be. This is my comfort in loving you, that our future is secured and safe in the knowledge of our love and trust for one another. In the vision, we uphold to build the future of our dreams.
I am fully certain and convinced that there is no height we can’t reach, there is no mountain we can’t climb, and there is no storm we can’t stand.

Dear flower,

I want to marry you over and over again until I have spent all my life span on you.
I am comfortable with your personality and the kind of identity you manifest to me and the world.
I am in love with your culture and your people, and I can’t wait to share your history and be part of your lives.

Our understanding is unique, and I love how we’re working our differences in language and culture. I love how we’re building the bridge that will strike a balance in the things we believe for the sake of the home we want to build.
Your roots remind me every day that our friendship is like an African fruit on an African tree under an African sun, and I can’t wait to have you!

My dearest friend of many lifetimes to come from here.
A thousand years with you is more than the most beautiful garden in the world.
You are my endless song in a world of sweet symphonies and melodies, and I will cross mountains and hills just to be with you.

I will spend my days praying for us until our knot is tied in the rivers of Eden.
I will speak the depths of God’s love to run over hearts for the days ahead of us. I want you to join me, my love, as we pray to build our home to become the heartbeat of God in this fallen world.

I believe in you and me because God brought us together to fulfill a specific vision only destiny can discern; that’s why I will fast and pray no matter the cost for us to get to our promised land.

These words on our knees will keep our hearts together, and they will be the songs of our sunny days and the warmth in our midnight tales.

Thank you for giving me the privilege to be the man who will hold your hands throughout the pages of life.
I love who I am in your eyes, and I want to see the world behind your eyes until the end of time. Thank you for loving me.
You are forever my picture perfect!
